Loki fixes his jacket, Mobius doesn't look, and I fall apart

I was in the midst of making a thirst edit for loki, I was just admiring loki being unfairly attractive when I ended with anything but a thirst edit and got emotionally devastated instead.

I refer to that little moment of Loki straightening himself out. First, when he's trying to find his footing at the TVA. When he first puts on his jacket, its this smooth, practiced motion, he sweeps that hair back, adjusts his lapels, chin up, like he's slipping into a role, trying to play along, trying to present himself as someone in control even though he is anything but.

And mobius, watching him, already amused, interested.. and Loki sees that, clocks it, gives that tiny little 'oh you like this?' smile.

Then cut to Dons timeline and tell me why Loki does the exact same motion, only this time, its hesitant. In the TVA it was almost performative, like he was trying to present himself well.

But Dons timeline? its more tentative, like he's nervous, like he wants to get it right.. Because now it isn't just some TVA game. This is Mobius, living a quiet human life that Loki isn't apart of. Its almost like Loki's bracing himself before stepping back into something he knows he can't stay in.

And Mobius-Don- god. Mobius doesn't clock it this time. Because this isn't that kind of story anymore. Theres no knowing little smirk, no teasing remark- just Don, squinting at Loki like a stranger.

Its the tragedy of the saddest little muscle memory. The way Loki's hands move before he could ever even realise why. Because once upon a time, in a place that doesn't exist anymore, he did this exact thing. He straightened his jacket, swept his hair back and looked up- and Mobius was there.

Watching him. noticing him. Seeing him.

Mobius doesn't see him this time. Not in the way he used to. And yet, Loki straightens his jacket. Because some part of Loki remembers what it was like to be looked at by him.

Obsessed with Lloyd never mentioning his grandfather is the First Spinjitsu Master, apparently to the point even Arin didn't seem to know, because "eh, it never came up". Cause like, yeah, sure, my grandfather is God, what of it? Normal day for me. Shit happens. My dad is also evil, you wanna talk about that? I sure don't.

It's also funny from a character arc perspective. Here's itty bitty baby first season Lloyd, loudly proclaiming he's the son of Garmadon, and probably also making sure everyone knows he's God part 3 electric boogaloo. And then one Tomorrow's Tea and a few more years later and he's doing everything physically possible to NOT care about his heritage. In fact he'd probably rather his parentage was literally anyone else. Dude could care so less he forgets about it most of the time. King behavior.

ok so imagine if joker killed someone and the guilt stained his hands with blood forever

so he understands why akechi wears gloves all the time lol

btw i traced the hands from an anime called Beyond the Boundary (just search anime bloody hands and it’s like the first result), i wanted to focus more on the effect and the expression

also have some drawings of akechi i did with a different fit. imagine if joker had a dream with akechi in it with phantom thief outfit before akechi revealed his persona to the thieves lol

ALSO if you want more context for the joker killing someone idea, and an edit i did with these drawings to please the instagram algorithm, please see under the cut

ok so i was thinking about the PT’s plan against Akechi, and a common gripe i see is how the cognitions don’t die like that in other palaces, they just dissipate into black smoke. BUT ALSO other palace rulers don’t really see people as actual people unlike Sae.

so Kamoshida sees people as nothing more than dolls/slaves he can use how he wants, hence cognitive Ann just dissipates when sliced (a puppet with cut strings is useless). Okumura sees people as robots so cognitive Haru explodes because she’s a robot. Kaneshiro sees people as ATMs so they just malfunction and break down.

i imagine the cognitions in Madarame’s palace are kinda just like… 3D living statues, just there to admire Madarame’s work, so if they were killed they’d probably dissipate or crumble like Kamoshida’s. and obviously there are no cognitions in Futaba’s palace (apart from Wakaba, who has a whole boss) because she’s a shut in.

anyway, the PT would notice that cognitions have different behaviour even in death depending on the palace ruler, so to confirm the plan would work, they would have to kill a cognition to see what happens in Sae’s palace. Makoto is probably sure her sister still sees people as people so it would work, but she also knows it’s vital they check this. in a way it would ease her too, since it would be confirmation.

and of course Joker being the leader he is would volunteer to do the ‘deed’. so he kills an innocent, harmless, cognitive person, watches them beg for their life as he holds a gun to their head and fires. he knows it’s just a cognition so it’s irrational, but the guilt he feels is all the same, especially as he watches the cognition slump to the floor just like a real corpse and bleed out onto the floor. Unlike other cognitions in other palaces it doesn’t dissipate after a while, it stays there, because Sae, how distorted she may be, still sees people as people, in life or death.

ALSO even when cognitive Ren and the guard dissipate after a while, it’s not because they’re cognitions, it’s because Sae has by then found out the whole thing was a ploy. she now knows both Ren and the guard are very much alive - so then of course the corpses would disappear

leave out the Joker kills a cognition bit (let’s say they were confident enough in their reasoning) and it could basically be canon

lol anyway yeah i wrote that in a fic and wanted to draw it in a sort of quick sketch lol

anyway here’s the edit lol

i have little complaint about the scene with charon and cerberus in practicality because i understand it was a detail that can be sacrificed to give scenes like Hades’ room to breathe, but

(a) did we have to lose “we all drowned in a bathtub” that’s An Incredible Line and wouldve taken the same amt of time riordan pls the replacement line was funny but not iconic :(

(b) the point of this post: i am SO sad they cut percy bribing charon, because like, percy’s a manipulative little shit when he wants to be, and it ends up scaring people! i dont have it handy but that scene in HOO where the character POV (annabeth? hazel?) is like… “did percy just manipulate that guy into this choice? on purpose? that’s…disturbingly calculating” —THIS IS A BASIS OF THAT. percy manipulates charon into letting them into the underworld not by throwing a sack of gold at him; he realizes charon wants to bitch and uses that bitching as a doorway in. “you deserve time off [clink] better pay [clink]” (i dont have my book rip the full quote is so funny tho 😭)

like, first of all, the book stresses that percy gets how adults are with alcohol, guy time™️ (derogatory), and money. gabe wastes all their money on poker. he takes any change percy has on him the moment the kid walks in the door. but also, percy mentions throughout the series that he picked up a fair few unethical skills from his boarding schools, too. and this hinted at that, imo. even annabeth was impressed. and that charon ferried them across and then immediately was like “thx for the coin good luck w the dog” —the same couldve been accomplished with charon unlocking a gate for them and then cerberus is Right There. not much would’ve changed.

idk rip “it was a big bathtub” and rip the image of percy slowly stacking drachmas in front of a dude in an italian suit while the guy bitches abt his boss you will always be famous to me

Just gonna make a list here of my thoughts after finishing deltarune don’t mind me. I haven’t looked at any other theories or discussions yet so this is all just my brain jumping in a bunch of directions akdjsk

Pretty sure susie is just a harem anime protagonist who’s super oblivious aldnks. Noelle is the love interest the show is clearly pushing for who gets the most cute scenes, ralsei and kris are the unfortunate bastards who desperately want a piece of the action but are forbidden by the narrative from being picked, berdly is the late edition wildcard that makes like 2 fans very very happy but is very obviously the crack option. And honestly good for susie

Everything with noelles house and getting to control the soul and watch kris act on their own was so fucking cool. Hearing them play the piano again but not being able to see it was just asghhh made me emotional. The way the piano sounds just a bit messy too like they’re barely able to contain themselves the relief of having their body back and being themself again, who knows for how long

Rouxls is great I love voicing him I just do preminger and gradually make it more high pitched until he can only be understood by dogs

I’m just gonna start rambling about ralsei now yeah he was my favorite character before and now he’s definitely definitely my favorite oogh we got such good ralsei shit these chapters god

First off the susie and ralsei relationship is my favorite in the game I love them so much I love how much they care about each other and how it kinda hurts cuz it feels like kris can only watch it happen they can’t add anything, not really. I love how Susie wants ralsei to go to the festival with them and wants to steal furniture to decorate his room with and just lets him exist and be his own person. She also taught him the uwu voice which is. Cursed why did she do that hes too powerful now STOP. Also ralsei emphasizing how kind Susie is makes me very emotional cuz she’s always been told she’s the bad kid and she���s not worth anything BUT SHE MEANS SO MUCH TO HIM SHES KIND AND ALWAYS WANTS TO INCLUDE HIM SHES THE HERO WITH HOPE IN HER HEART DAMMIT. Sickening!

Ralsei projecting onto tenna and telling him that darkners aren’t real and they shouldn’t be sad cuz it’s a burden to lightners like duuude. Get help lol. The way he lives so deeply ingrained with the prophecy and bases his entire being on the attention he gets from specifically the player to the point where he shuts down doesn’t even let himself have ANYTHING offscreen because why would he bother? He’s not real, he only exists as the supporting cast. Hes just supposed to be the obnoxiously cute uwu boy who makes cake and doesn’t know what sex is omg. The fact that he never made cake until susie and kris arrived and then it became like his Thing cuz thats just what’s expected of him and he’s never even tried it for himself, never even CONSIDERED trying it for himself and has to be talked into it after putting up protests. I’m worried does my man like ever eat anything 😵‍💫. And then also the way he’s starting to be convinced by Susie that he should do more things for himself, that he’s ALLOWED to, and the way he wants to start being his own person, but he still asks the player for permission. It’s agonizing in every way. It’s like, who the hell knows what kris is thinking, possibly frustration that they’re being asked for input but they obviously can’t actually give it and the fact that ralsei is doing a dogshit job at being his own person when he can’t even eat a fucking cake without needing the players permission and god the fact that he’s talking about wanting to be a person and isn’t that just fucking great meanwhile kris is a literal breathing cage who has to sit through this shit

And more on the prophecy it’s so interesting the contradiction going on where ralsei lives strictly by the code but at the same time withholds information he thinks is too scary to know and has been desperately trying to force a peaceful path in hopes of it granting a different outcome even though he knows it’s futile. He knows so much, too much, and his need to be loved by the others trumps his need to live by the book. He really did just make friends for the first time and became so attached he’d say fuck it all if it meant they’d stay, but he refuses to vocalize it properly because he doesnt believe he matters and can’t stand the idea of having even the slightest negative effect on them. It’s actually so cool if they forgot all about him even cuz he shouldn’t even exist and basically doesn’t if you think about it and it’s fine but also if they hate him he will kill himself

Ohhhh im gonna be feral about the last scene with ralsei for the rest of time I’m afraid. Love the fact that the player doesn’t get to see the end of the prophecy but the characters know it, there’s so many little moments like that in this chapter it’s juicy. Ralseis reaction to susie seeing it was so fucking heartbreaking, to him this is life ruining information and he just ruined everything for everyone it’s all his fault and he’s on the floor sobbing and won’t stop apologizing and it’s like. How the hell was I able to literally hear him sobbing despite the fact he’s not voice acted and his dialogue sounds remained the same? HOW. And susie comforting him and very clearly being shaken but trying to be hopeful. And the agonizing moment again where you’re prompted for dialogue the player says it’s okay to not smile but kris hugs ralsei and that broke me just a bit cuz despite everything, DESPITE EVERYTHING, it’s true and real and we’re gonna get through this buddy. And ralsei with blood on his face saying he thought it was cool when kris played piano AGGHHH. Devastating

So gerson in the dark world is dead and had his ashes kept with his hammer in the light world. So this begs a few questions about ralseis light world equivalent. I had a theory in mind midway through my playthrough that ralsei was one of alphys attempts at reviving asriel that went wrong and he ended up a fragmented piece all alone in the dark world and doesn’t have any idea who he is or what he’s supposed to be and he inserted himself into the prophecy in order to give himself purpose. So idk maybe uh uh he golden flowerrrrr with ashes in ittt :) can you tell I’m getting too tired and wanna stop typing

Pointing at gerson fight again cuz it’s so so good

Ralsei is Akane coded

would you pet marmalade's sweet little head after she forgot to take care of her chores for the 3rd time this week

today marks another birthday for this sweet, wonderful, kind, and amazing creature that goes by the name Żmija. nearly popping out in the fall, but with her heart as hot and impatient as the sun of july morning, she rushed for the last days of summer where she truly belongs - so of course, a summertime portrait it is :-)

wishing you the happiest and most love-filled of celebrations, @slavicafire -from yours truly and yours forever :-)

re: your Mitch mustache point, yes 100% agree - weird thing to fixate on and just keep commenting on. I also feel like this about Auston’s hair and the ‘balding’ jokes; like, bro, what a thing to comment on about someone else’s appearance.

i get both sides of it to SOME degree in a jokey fandomy space but sometimes it feels like that's all anyone has to say for like days at a time or. i guess bc i make gifs/posts sometimes that's all the tags or comments are. and then i'll post a vid or pics on twt and THAT'S all anyone has to say to try to make an unfunny joke that's been made 4932842 times beforre. and i'm like. damn is anyone actually funny or insightful or is that all there is these days, like lmfao. i already really make it a habit with myself to not negatively comment on appearances irl or online bc i just think it seeps into the way you think about and treat people whether you mean it or not. and i get that these guys are untouchable millionaires and aren't gonna read all these "jokes" but they end up feeling so vapid and tasteless and shallow. i just have bigger beef with the general trends in society and the hyperfixation on pure aesthetics, no substance, and so to see it reflected even in mild forms in fandom spaces just over n over n over like. odd and dull.

Hear me out (or don't... it's fine I'm just venting and mean) yeah um I don't believe Chakotay was saved in Prod*gy s2.

[slimeciclecock]

I'm... glad, I'm glad Richas, Chayanne and Tallulah can give their own proper goodbyes instead of quietly leaving. Still hurts to see them leave. I had this same feeling when ccJaiden said qJaiden died in the explosion during purg.

Missa never got to see Chayanne and Tallulah when they woke up, did he? He never got to see Tallulah walking around with her new look, looking just like her apa Missa ...

I'm grateful for the eggs being able to tell their story and making so many people smile 🩷 it still hurts greatly whenever someone leaves but. Yeah

the good workplace news is that the structure of new greenhouse is finished. it sure is a structure.

the bad news is that it probably won't be a functional greenhouse in time for spring growing and also that in the meantime maintenance and badly needed improvements for every other greenhouse has just not happened

along with stuff like... making sure we have the pots we need. having any kind of covered structure to store pots (used to keep new ones in one of the houses that came down). all the heavy machinery operators needed for moving pallets of pots and filling pots diverted to fixing the greenhouse
