People who say Dutch never cared and was just pure evil clearly dont have parents like Dutch because (to me atleast) its very clear he loves Arthur and the gang, he just doesnt express that in a healthy way

YOU ARE THE ANGEL THAT I COULDN'T KILL

[sunderwight]

The Solo Leveling anime has now reached the point of the story that, in the webcomic, almost turned me into Peerless Cucumber from Scum Villain. Which means I finally get to yell about it!

Yes this story does not want any actual interiority and is largely running on Rule of Cool, but you'd think there could at least be a TOKEN EFFORT to come up with an actual reason for Jinwoo to decline to join the Jeju raid (so that he can just sweep in at the last minute and play Big Damn Hero anyway ofc). It wouldn't even be hard! This part of the story almost coincides with the last bit of his journey to get the cure for his mom anyway! All you'd have to do is shift the timing a little bit so that his final fight with the demons overlaps with the raid, and it would make perfect sense that he'd want to go get the cure instead and decline to go fight ants.

But no. Nope. Instead he's just like, I can't participate in this incredibly important raid that might mean the difference between the survival and annihilation of my country because my mom needs help. How am I helping her by fucking around in a park instead? While she apparently does all the housework and is in perfect health? When hunting shit is literally my job that brings in the only paycheck? Who knows! She even basically gave me permission to go! I still plan on being a hunter as my day job! I'm still leveling up! But I'm not gonna participate because nahhhh.

It's not even a character development thing, we're not even exploring his trauma or selfishness or perhaps the aversion to teamwork, it is literally just because.

Even his assertion that "oh well the strike team can almost certainly handle it" feels weak, because exactly none of his prior experiences would support that mindset. Every single raid he has participated in so far has gone to shit. He doesn't have a lot of faith in anyone else's abilities. He's pretty sure he can take the strongest guy going to this thing, and the island has notoriously killed S ranks before and all the news reports are emphasizing that the ants have only gotten stronger since the past (failed) raids.

I hate this part of the story because there is no reason for it to be this stupid, except that it just is this stupid. The only reason Jinwoo doesn't go to the raid is the doylist reason that he can't arrive at the last minute if he participates from the start. The watsonian reason is so flimsy it nearly doesn't exist at all.

You cannot even handle queer jews.

Yeah, and your mom should've swallowed. What's your fucking point?!

Doodle dump, but it’s low effort bc I’m tired!!

I’ve not really been drawing much, which is why I haven’t posted art in 2 days lol maybe I’m a bit burned out already but I’m hoping to get back to drawing finished pieces today,,, nothing but doodles fw my brain if it’s longer than one day,,, I WAS able to do a fully finished piece for my first ever art trade tho, which is something!!

I guess I’m in a very short art block (saying short bc I’m manifesting better art) and I feel very tired and unmotivated!!! This doodle dump isn’t much, but it’s something

Other reasons why i constantly use background noises with everything i do is to cancel out my overthinking mind so i can focus on what i'm doing instead of said thoughts

Damn it i forgot to draw his horizontal Z shaped teeth on his cheek on the 1st till 4th image..that's why i gotta stop getting too carried with the voices in my head

A true and 100% historically accurate account of Hamilton's first meeting with Andre

[hadesknockedupintheunderworld]

The fans: Ugh Sonic was just so preachy. I mean obviously he's supposed to be the good guy, so any uncomfortableness I feel here and any way I feel like Sonic's choices are framed as being why some other people have shitty lives is just bad writing because he is obviously supposed to be right always, but this characterization makes no sense. Isn't he right for the things he did?

Ian Flynn, using Kitsunami to say the (barely even at this point) quiet part even louder: Hey it's almost like ever since the Mr. Tinker event we've been purposely running with the critique of Sonic as being more selfish than he appears. Sonic is upholding a system of Eggman v Sonic that currently benefits him and shuts down talk of how to improve the current system because he likes his own personal enjoyment and he's attached enough to Eggman that he'd rather Eggman pretend to be a good person than be stuck in prison for life. He doesn't even quite practice what he preaches. We are trying to show that the current hero v villain system and Sonic's recklessness currently affects some people poorly and that Sonic isn't a perfect hero.

god I like the whole “being tortured by the memory of your gay situationship” thing so much better in a fictional context rather than it being my life

IRL it’s just a bummer—being a yearning pining lesbian ain’t for the weak, man 😔✊

[fullmetal-scar-simping]

Is there anything more weak than the attempt to shut down all media analysis and critique by appealing to a "everything is valid and different! Stop making it a pissing match," point of view? Either the stories are "too different" to compare and contrast, or they're "ultimately all fma so why should we fight". Maybe some people can't get it through their heads, but disagreement, venting amongst those who feel similarly, and critique are not inherently a fight.

And I'm sorry, but "breaking the cycle of violence" is a shit trope to tack onto a plot that uses a genocide and ethnic cleansing as its foundation, with heaping layers of "those poor little war criminals, stop being mean to them" to add insult to bad storytelling.

every fuckin day I have to LEARN SOMETHING UGHHH

[darkxsoulzyx]

do you guys ever get too scared to post ocs because you’re worried that their design or story isn’t cool enough

And then someone posts their OC/sona that looks super similar to your OC, even though you’ve technically made yours first

And now you’re scared of posting them because you’re afraid someone is gonna try and compare the two, because someone will always do that if they look similar enough

Do you guys ever feel that way or am I just really really stupid
