Both times Kitty knew she was going home (or going soon) and both times Minho knew she’d be leaving (soon) and both times there was a confession. A confession so deeply felt that they needed to tell the other. One from him and one from her..

#this one was a lot harder #probably cuz it’s longer #Shakespeare #I wanted to make something that highlighted the parallels of their situations #yknow #dead dads and all #ophelia #hamlet #contrapuntal poem #poem #poetry #punctuation and syntax is really hard on these #like how do I maintain clarity and the double meaning #not too too happy about this but I think it’s okay to have art that you’re not in love with

Sunrise, Parabellum.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #'Good morning. Prepare for war'.#At a glance it may seem like my interest in crossing over Disco Elysium and MDZS is based on the surface parallels.#Protagonists with a bad reputation who find themselves waking up in an unknown location?#The alcoholism? The murder mystery? The stoic and yet deeply patient companion?#Easily tied together. A crossover that writes itself.#But that is not what inspires me to draw parellels between these two stories.#It is about the places at the edge of the world riddled with bomb craters and bullet holes - to serve as a reminder of a lost war.#It is about a dream that was worth fighting for being crushed by larger powers who feared losing that power.#They wanted to build something beautiful and hopeful. It almost was. They lined them up in front of the firing line.#Nearly all the dreamers are gone. Yet the dream lives. Small and patient. It was a worthy dream to live and die for.#And it will wait; thousands of nights and thousands of sunrises.#The bombs may rain down at night but there will always be a sunrise tomorrow. You lived. Keep fighting.#Light your match and set the message ablaze: Un jour je serai de retour près de toi.#For the dead and departed who believed in it. For those we loved and lost. For the future we hoped for.#One day; I will return to your side.#Anyways. I am once again begging you to play Disco Elysium. Especially if you’re a MDZS fan.#They are stories that have something to say about the value of small kindnesses in big sacrifices.#And about hope at the very end of the world.#(EDIT: I thought this flopped hard but I scheduled it way too far in advance. Oops! Midnight Parabellum it is!)

Something something Fitzjames and Hodgson are two of the most dandy-ish characters in The Terror but they're also two of the most dangerous; they've both been to war, both do the greatest damage to Tuunbaq using the weaponry they were trained in by the navy (Hodgson with the cannon and Fitzjames with the congreves), and Hodgson is also the one to kill the Inuit family, directly connecting the violence of imperialism with the gentlemanly facade it likes to use.

#the terror #the terror amc #james fitzjames #george hodgson #is this something #also I couldn't figure out how to word it in a way I liked but #I originally also had a second paragraph #about how it's also interesting #they they aren't just outwardly somewhat effeminate #but they're actually both quite sensitive #both in terms of their own emotions and in the way they treat others #as well as neither being particularly aggressive people at all #fitzjames makes a bitchy comment here and there but #he's not physically aggressive even when truly angry #and he seems to try very hard to be patient with people #hodgson of course is extremely mild-mannered #and they're also both artsy types #yet they were sent to war and did terrible things #and also experienced terrible things #and it doesn't matter what effect that might've had on them #because in the end they're just chess pieces for imperialism #tl;dr I was thinking about how hodgson and fitzjames both directly injure tuunbaq #and then realized the parallels

still i think the one of the more fun differences drawn between illario and lucanis that was lost would be illario's ability to endear himself to others but serious lack of empathy, vs. lucanis' (self perceived) inability to be charming but how much he cares. it's interesting that the game has gone with the "lucanis' ability vs illario's lack thereof" because i think illario being the dellamorte 'best in show dog' vs. lucanis' attack dog would have made me so unwell.

lucanis is... awkward. he's not unlikable, because he is usually very polite, but he doesn't speak much and only seems to care about the other dellamortes. he once sent viago de riva a knife with no note (who knows what he could have meant by this). he does what caterina asks of him, and by his own admission, cannot say no to her. he is a dramatic and prolific killer, and that makes how untouchable he is even worse.

and the crows like illario, sure, AND he's a good assassin! he's even a good crow! he's so good that he can make lucanis smile, and so he is the charming, sociable one. he's the one that stays in treviso and can be relied upon to care, illario's even the one people prefer over caterina and lucanis!

but illario is decoration. he's the prize poodle, and even if poodles were bred to be working dogs, nobody will ever pick him to protect the house over the german shepherd that regularly mauls intruders. anyways the analogy is getting away from me. the point i'm trying to make is that i want illario to have a different kind of jealousy/hatred that's not just over 'being bad at killing' but also an arrogant loathing for everyone around him that is getting harder to hide, because they've forgotten he can bite and is just itching to rip someone's jugular out. illario is very good at hiding his family resemblance to caterina, while lucanis suffers under his grandmother's, and his own, reputation.

#not helped that these ideas are probably fostered by caterina. she doesnt WANT lucanis to have FRIENDS she wants him to KILL THINGS lol #and her perceiving illario as someone who wants but wont rise against her would have been interesting #so she allows his charm and friendliness etc. because she wants him to ingratiate the house to other houses #she doesnt want him out the picture. she NEEDS him there to make people like lucanis. illario just isnt content with that #i will shut up about this. i promise.#like i wont. but im trying #lucanis dellamorte #illario dellamorte #and also i want illario to have a little more manipulative asshole going on he's not believable enough in game omg #i think the main issue i have is that lucanis should have . maybe. been a bit less agreeable. SORRY #but it would have been fun to see crow-like defensiveness slowly break away to reveal a caring polite and kind man #or at least a slow understanding of lucanis-language. like he said 'i dont care' but he meant 'i dont mind'#raised by a grieving and also repressed old italian woman will do this to you #thoo. i was pleasantly surprised at how sweet he was in the game to start but i think parallel wise this could have been fun is all #veilguard spoilers #dragon age #and also really sorry that this was brought upon by someone calling him a pursedog man in tags #which was very funny for 5 minutes and then i was like actually i can do something with this

let her go

#homestuck #vriska serket #terezi pyrope #vriska #terezi #vrisrezi #mic_art #screencap redraw of that one utena scene woohoo #vrisrezi and utenanthy dont share many similarities but there are some interesting parallels that can be drawn #like theyre all characters who are devoted to the respective roles they think they have #utena needs to be a prince and vriska needs to be a hero #terezi needs to cast vriska as the villain so that she can be the one to bring her to justice while anthy #is resigned to her role as the rose bride and is cast as a witch by others (and herself in a way...) to justify her suffering #im too tired to put into words all the other shit rattlign around in my brain but something something vriska society violence princes utena #something interesting to note is that in the rgu stabbing scene utena is walking to the left while is hs vriskas walking to the right #which i think is mostly a cultural difference due to english being read left to right while japanese is read right to left #changing which direction is percieved as forward #which could be read further into but could also just be the natural flow of the scene or whateevr #idk i need to peruse ohtori.nu again i looooove reading utena essays

DC X DP - Mirrors

Did Danny want to live in Gotham? No, of course not. Did he have a choice? Nope. When does he ever?

Now, he may be technically homeless, but he's also technically dead, so human laws technically don't apply to him. So, naturally, he pics out an empty mansion so big even if the owners were to come home, the chances they'd run into each other would be really low, and settles in.

This 'mansion' happens to be Drake Manor. Look, Danny lived in nowhere Illinois and kinda had his hands full dealing with ghosts, a double life, bullies, and being actively hunted. He doesn’t know much about celebrities. If you tell him the name of someone super famous, it might sound vaguely familiar, but that's about it. What he knew was superheroes and vigilantes (some of them, okay, give him a break). That's about it.

So the name Drake in connection with Gotham didn't ring any alarm bells. He did some surface level research: the Drakes are dead, survived by their only child, Timothy Drake-Wayne, who now owns their house but was adopted by some other super rich guy called Bruce Wayne and doesn't live in it, leaving it empty for the foreseeable future.

It was the perfect place!

Danny didn't explore much, partly because he didn't care to and partly because he was too tired to from healing. He cleaned up after himself, used only his bedroom (chosen for being tucked way back and out of the way), the attached bathroom, and the theatre occasionally as a treat. He lived off of the provisions packed for him, ectoplasm and water from the sink.

Cut to, few weeks in.

Danny's got a new routine, he's taken his stitches out, and is still super fucked up, but a lot better than when he arrived. He hasn't been outside since he arrived, but ghosts don't need Vitamin D anyway. Is he slightly depressed? Maybe. But he's also dead, so, bigger priorities.

Tim is looking through his stuff for something or other, and it occurs to him he probably left it next door. He hasn't been to Drake Manor in months, but he sort of really needs this thing, so he sucks it up and borrows a car because like hell is he walking the several miles from this front door to that one.

He goes to his old bedroom, opens the door, and comes face-to-face with himself.

And Danny doesn't know what he's supposed to do in this situation.

Listen, Danny doesn't always make the best decision in the moment. It's a very normal flaw to have! So he tells who can only be Timothy Drake-Wayne himself when asked, that his name is Timothy Drake, and this is his house, and, actually, who are you and how did you get in?

This causes Tim to assume Danny is himself from another dimension who he accidentally dragged to his dimension by messing with the Time Stream to get Bruce back. Danny continues to accidently fuel this misunderstanding without meaning to.

(This is not helped by the fact that a DNA test doesn't disprove this. Danny's DNA is corrupted, but what Tim does get is identical to himself. This is how Danny finds out he was adopted, and how Tim, much later when misunderstandings are cleared, meets the identical twin brother he never knew he had.)

St. Hilarion's ghost story

#payneland #edwin x charles #dead boy detectives #dbda #pre canon angst brought to you by the weirdo who's always drawing post canon fluff #something about oral tradition and old timey slang #i took quite a lot of decisions with this one so buckle up #first of all the female ghost keeps edwin's eyes color because there's still some truth to the legend #the background is the same shade of green to reference hell #just like it is when he's having his flashback #alive charles is dressed all in black because he's not a happy boy #i also made it so that he grips his clothes when his mate punches him even as it's intended to be friendly #because well #these people will end up killing him so it's less friendly when you remember THAT #charles obviously doesn't mean anything by the mary ann comment #he doesn't know the slang meaning and just blurted out what he remembered from the legend #he will find out reach some conclussions and go punch a wall about it probably #about edwin tho his escape is still very recent and he didn't expect this #but even so early on he knows charles means no harm and allows himself to be comforted #it wasn't intentional but hey edwin shruggin off charles' touch is a good parallel to that one scene after charles “kills” the night nurse

Misunderstanding AU!

SJ, injured, sitting in the water prison: So let this one get this strait. You are seeking REVENGE on this one?

Lbh: you pushed me into the abyss!

SJ: What I did was accept your pitiful attempts of courting my son!

Lbh: wut.

SJ: I throw you into a challenge. Unarmed, injured, without warning and while spewing the vilest things i could verbally throw into your face. I initiated an acceptance!

Lbh: WUT.

SJ: I went out of my way to abide to your people’s customs and what do you do to my leniency to your feelings for my A-Yuan? You throw it into my face! You scheme against your master! You do not return, you show no fidelity and instead of challenging me to combat in front of the sec as you should have done you lick at the heels of Huan Hua Palace and leave Yuan-er to the advances of other men!

Lbh: WHAT??!!’

SJ: This is what I get taking a chance on a man! If it weren’t my son’s love for you I wouldn’t’ve wasted the effort.

Lbh: He-He loves me!?

SJ: He did at least! he may have been blind but I have both of my eyes still. He was like a widow by your sword mound every day, refusing to eat. But you have been wasting time! Other suitors have been pounding at the sec’s gates and the less we talk about the members of the sec the better.

Lbh: ..I have fucked up. i have fucked up so bad!

SJ: YOU HAVE! I have assigned the assignments about demon traditions with reason! There were essays about courtships alone! And now my Yuaner is seeking comfort from a BRUTE!
