He really is just a guy, but he's our favourite guy

One of the reasons I love Carlo so much is because of how so many people remember him.

Like yeah, there was the Legendary Stalker who was obviously legendary but Carlo was literally just A Guy, yet he touched so many people's hearts. He was just A Guy but he was remembered so fondly, he was so loved. He made a difference, sometimes just by simply being a friend to a puppet.

He wasn't legendary, or a hero, or even technically the protagonist of the game. But he still was so important. Puts things into perspective, makes you think.

#lies of p #carlo geppetto #lies of p carlo #lop spoilers #love him lots #he's so important #without ever really being present #and that says a lot about him

Bruce would give up the mission if Dick ever died. And not in the angry-grief way of "this is the last straw on the camel's back" aka the way he sorta kicked Dick out, but in the "hasn't set foot in the Cave in over a month because the last time he did he kept hearing Dick's laugh echoing across the stalactites" way. He literally cannot bear to put on the cowl, to be Batman, because Batman has existed longer with Robin than without. Bruce doesn't remember being Batman without Robin (without Dick) anymore. He can recall his first meetings with a few of the Rogues, but beyond that? It's been so long that those first 2-4 years are all just a haze of self destructive grief. Dick flipped his entire life in a 180 to the total opposite direction. He showed him how to hope, to love, to live. If Dick dies as an adult, Bruce would've spent half his life with his first son. No matter what age Dick dies at, Bruce will have always spent more time being Batman with Dick Grayson as a son rather than without him. Dick changed Batman, changed Bruce so irrevocably that Bruce wouldn't ever be able to wear the cowl without remembering him.

:) i certainly have no issue dressing in drag :)

^guy who has no issue dressing in drag btw

glenn said that dennis' drag name is victoria von hemen btw

(Source)

#glenn howerton #guy who should get to dress in drag #im just. ill never be over the fact that glenn wrote Two episodes in season 3 that involve dennis doing drag #i know he doesn't really want to write for the show but there's something so special abt how early sunny was an actor's sandbox #esp hearing glenn talk abt how den is like. an outlet for him and a way to play around with shit he would never do for one reason or anothe #my point being that i think its been a while since he was able to utilize dennis again in that way #but 16 was a definite change. especially with dtamhd it feels like dennis is becoming more glenn again. like he was in the early days #theres a pretty good stretch of the show once it got into the double digits that feels like den was. co-opted.#but like i wonder how it feels to explore sexuality and gender via your character #it must be similar to doing that through fandom and OCs but there's a whole other layer to it here #esp when its not Just being presented as comedic as it was in past seasons. like dennis is Actually queer and this is a normal plot point #its not the punchline like den's femininity often is its literally just part of what makes him able to help mac and dee #id argue we've gotten this in the form of. dennis doing dee's makeup and shit. but #anyway. glenn. now that you have two of your former writing assistants in that writers room i hope you get to do drag again 💀#its been 16 years. show us the new and improved victoria.#i honestly can't imagine pitching something like that to a room of people Without some sort of comedic twist but #man.#ada speaks #iasip #it's always sunny in philadelphia #rcg #i won't ever forget the way he lit up talking abt queer dennis jhksvfjhksvdfgjhkds #love u king...... i hope you get something in s17 that you Certainly Don't Mind

The Hitler and KKK jokes were never funny tbh

#Like Reed I was with you until then lmao #This is like the craziest virtue signalling fandom ever #Idk why some can’t just call it what it is — classism and elitism #Why must you bring real life problems that have nothing to do with anything into this #In such a trivial and un-constructive way #You’re bloating the conversation so many people seemed like they were desperate to have considering many hate Cait because ‘ACAB’#Which. respect. but then there’s no substance behind any of that. People are just reiterating very progressive and leftist talking points #spearheaded by Black people (specifically Black women) that many people like to talk over may I add!!!#without any thought behind it. Liking or disliking a character should not be your daily dose of activism #again bloating a conversation with the hyper focus on an individual instead of the big picture of the narrative #and actively ignore the presentation of other characters of colour #ok I might as well just add my tags to a reblog lmao #but yeah idk I feel like people are just lying to my face about their leftism as they make kukluxkiramman and caitler jokes #youre not being funny or clever or really much at all. You’re just saying things out loud #Also super hypocritical since a solid (deffffff not all) of the fandom treat Mel so poorly #Ok I’m done #slay on the run #arcane #caitlyn #caitlyn kiramman #caitlyn arcane #this isn’t even a Caitlyn defence post lmao people are just annoying me #ALSO most of these jokes have been off Tumblr. I’ve blocked so many people I don’t see many of these but they’re apparently popular on twt

I love Xia Fei like a son, and I envy Vein for his gender. But Jae Lee? Oh my lord, Jae Lee is doing unspeakable things to me just from that short teaser of him.

He is soooo nnnnggghhhhh

#all of them are hot #but I seem to have a preference for hot guys whose hotness speaks volumes without being flashy #subdued but ever-present #nnggghhh #link click should really release an otome game at one point #too many hot guys now #jae lee #link click #shiguang dailiren #时光代理人 #miyamiwu.src

Pike and Scanlan getting married: I'm not into this but it's the end of the campaign. It's easy enough to let it go and move on. Pike indicating she and Scanlan are amicably divorced: The knowledge that it didn't work out adds a bittersweet angle to the marriage that actually makes me like it more now. Whatever the fuck Pike and Scanlan have going on now: This is a glorious disaster and I want like a million episodes of this.

#critical role #pike trickfoot #scanlan shorthalt #like campaign 3 pike as presented by matt #and campaign 3 pike as played by ashley #are so totally different #and for a watsonian explanation i'd say matt's pike was around strangers #and much like matt's keyleth was putting on more of her public face #whereas now that they're back in the hands of their respective players #and they're back around people they've known for decades #they can be like #aw fuck do i really have to call my ex?#i'm so tired of giving speeches and making up titles why does everyone need a title #(and for a doylist explanation it's just like. i think matt is playing the characters a bit safe.)#(doesn't want to step on any toes or make big decisions without being consulted.)#anyway i do also like the amicable divorce angle #it's like 'hey this happily ever after was not ever after because real people are complex'#'and they don't just stagnate while they're offscreen'#'but also it feels like they learned more about themselves and came away with some children they adore'#'so even if it didn't work out they probably don't regret it'#but no the messy on-again-off-again i don't actually remember if we're married or divorced right now #and the awkward conversations and the extreme 'not over it' energy they both have #i'm way more invested in this ship than i have ever been ya'll

#ok finally making a post about meds #I've not ever tried taking medication before. I was sorta raised with that classic 'dont rely on meds you have to learn to manage without'#I mean I was also raised with the idea that therapy is stupid unless you have 'real' trauma. and also like idk.#can't stay home from school unless your temp is over 100 or you're throwing up. etc. very suck it up mindset #so I was just really nervous to start. also of course worried about losing myself or whatever I know that's a silly fear but #it's also a common fear for a reason!!! anyways #so I finally was like 'I need to do something' when I realized I was so anxious I couldnt even get myself to go outside alone #like I just don't want to do ANYTHING alone to a detrimental effect. and it was butting into my ability to do my work...#for various reasons. but then ALSO adhd has been a constant issue with my work as well!#it is SO hard to write and draw on a weekly pace like I am without being able to focus #my whole life I've had these terrible nightmares constantly and I've always woken up constantly in the night #sleep has always been terrible so I've always dreaded going to bed.. ESPECIALLy because it didnt even make me less tired #it was more something that I just did because I had to.#but going to bed was always terrible. there have been times I was too scared to go to sleep for weeks on end...#I've been mitigating this for years of course. and recently I've been taking melatonin which has been helping too.#but I've also always struggled to get up. because I've always been EXTREMELY exhausted #but also anxious of what the day might bring... idk.#anyways it has all hit a point that I was like okay. I am doing as many coping mechanisms as I can. the psych said they were good too #but... it just has never been enough. it's never been enough to make me not tired it's never been enough to make me not scared #so I finally talked to the doc about it. and she was like youve def got smth wrong basically. which yah I know.. but yknow #anyways so I started taking wellbutrin. and I am so frustrated now. because it's WORKING #that constant looming sense of dread is gone. I'm excited to get up. I'm excited to go to bed BECAUSE I'm excited to get up #I feel like for years I've been holding on to the idea that I have to get up because I have to put something good out into the world #and I've been clinging to knowing that if nothing else. I am able to help other people feel better.#but now for the first time in my life I'm like. free of it. I didnt even know it was possible... and I'm so sad how much I've lost out on #and so frustrated how my whole life I've been told to put up with it and push through it. and treated like a failure for it being too much.#and just. It has only been 2 weeks. but the lack of anxiety is SO noticeable I'm so...#I'll never miss it. the adhd is still pretty present but like whatever. I can manage that better.#and I'm just crying because of all this combined.#I just. I hope I get to finally be the best I can be now. for myself but also for you guys!

Kusakabe, dear, you're too beautiful to be saying that kind of stuff

#jjk spoilers #All the prettiest characters were brought back from apparent death #Nobara was okay and it's true that when I read the lawyer's and Kusakabe's fights against Sukuna I thought it was being kept vague #but to pull a Nobara with all of them... idk #No one stays dead here except for the people who actually care for the kids and by that I mean 'including Yuuji'#kinda lowkey bitter about it #Don't get me wrong I like the characters and also they're super pretty but idk It makes death feel cheap? And the high stakes kinda fake?#Choso Gojo and Nanami actual only characters who died apparently #Well. Poor Itadori #And Kusukabe goes and runs his mouth that way in front of the kid. He is not entirely wrong but also he very much is #And yes he also says 'don't worry it's not for you to feel guilty over anything you're just kids' but also he did very much say that thing #about it all being Gojo's fault for not killing Itadori. In front of Itadori who feels guilty for that precisely #and in front of Megumi who asked Gojo to spare him and also went through the experience of Sukuna using his body as well #So Kusukabe's reassurance about them just being kids and not to feel guilty falls a bit empty #It does feel in character but man it truly makes one appreciate the way Gojo and Nanami dealt with the kids a lot more haha #Ui Ui seems like a dear #Anyway... this chapter felt a bit lame for the most part for me? I like the idea of the characters discussing the could have/would have #and feeling guilt and helplessness over their choices but the way it was done felt a bit lame and without any real emotional punch #It felt more like an explanation to the reader in an awkward way. And there's a lot of empty chat about guilt and grief #without any of the characters really giving off a grieving air about everything and everyone they've lost #And this is precisely what I felt was going to happen with this manga's writing haha #I truly don't understand this kind of writing choices. Contrary to some other shonen writers this author did seem to have the potential #to write this kind of thing well besides the worldbuilding and powers and fight stuff. It's truly a pity. It so breaks my heart #And still this is considered one of the good shonens. Well. WELL haha #I do think shonen can be good! I just think it falls almost always even when there's potential into bery shallow writing #I don't know. Maybe I should read that one Alchemist manga #I've been repeatedly told that one's good and it does seem like it doesn't do... this. But I find the art style so not to my linking #I wish I had never gotten into JJK for real for real. I absolutely adore it. I always end up frustrated. It could be so good. Genuinely good #And yet it's just okay in a sort of forgettable way. What a pity #Everything good ever is present but it never dares do anything to fully explore what it sets. It just does the typical shonen stuff

Superman: Metropolis Secret Files and Origins (2000) #1

#a Lena II mention I’ve never read before!!!#so at this point Mercy and Hope were present for when Lex has Lena’s nursery welded shut so that it could a permanent but inaccessible part #of the building #rather than converting the room to something else #but still earlier in this story Mercy was dismissive of that Lex had ever loved anyone #(of course- the fact that Lex traded Lena away is a hard hurdle for anyone to cross in believing he loved her)#the context of this scene is that Lex was having an affair with ‘Lois’ who was really Parasite in disguise #and now that that’s been uncovered he wants the real Lois found- and to find out if she’s still alive in the first place #which Mercy was doubting was because he genuinely cared about Lois #but now Lex accidentally refers to finding ‘my Lena’ instead of Lois #‘Always make indifference your ally. As such you will never reject solitude.’#implying that Lex isn’t indifferent to Lena’s absence and is struggling with being alone without her #there’s a bit when they reunite in Our Worlds at War where Lex tells Lena she’s wrong if she thinks he hasn’t missed her #but I think this is the first thing I’ve seen after the initial fallout in the first few issues after it #that demonstrates that #dc #lex luthor #lena luthor II #my posts #comic panels

#these are just some thoughts re: friendship as a result of tonight that i need to jot down somewhere but #realising that i really do have a strict and set idea of Good Friend(ship) and what that entails to me #and id written people off bc i wasn't yk ~receiving love or friendship the way id prefer and i was angry with them for that/hurt about it #did i communicate that to them though? nooo. was i fully right in that? also no. like just bc i felt unheard didn't fully mean #that they were doing something wrong. they were trying in their own way (and sometimes they weren't really or it just wasn't nice)#but that's about how we match and how we communicate right? this is so silly that's so basic but it never fully clicked for me like this #i was blaming them for stuff and building up resentment without ever expressing that (and i still haven't yk dhshsjd)#and i think where i went ~wrong was in thinking that bc i felt that way they weren't ~giving me what i need #when it's like... but did i pick up on the ways in which they DID appreciate me and show me love etc? did i give them ANYTHING to work with?#(ok yes occasionally but also... tangent but i was watching a variety show and they were teasing woozi about how #he gives interviewers/hosts literally nothing to work with. like no extra information for them to ask about or tease him for or anything #and i was like ohhhhhh. yeah i do do that sometimes with friends and it's genuinely smth i don't really know how to do like #giving casual information (but not too much and not too little???) so they can then ask questions etc. so then if im like ughh #they never ask (the right) questions or show interest (or let me talk but that's a different thing dhsjdjd) it's like...#well do i give them the chance to? much to think about thank you woozi)#anyways where was i dhsjsnsnsjns idk but it's soooo annoying that i haven't figured this all out yet #but im slowly letting go off a bunch of resentment that has truly no business being here and im trying to self reflect and all that #and im honestly doing so shit some days but others days it's? finding stuff that matters to me on a deeper level ig?#and all of it really does pale in the face of multiple genocides and it's. but yk. if i want to keep fighting #i need to build a strong foundation and sort my shit out as well and be present so im really really trying #and beating my stupid stupid depression and brain with a stick until i get there

i honestly don't think anyone will care but I keep brainrotting over the idea of a pjo/rainworld au

I've turned the Seven into funky slimy cats dealing w concepts far beyond their comprehensions lmao

#my brainrots have mutated more than 5p's structure send help 💀#i present you: slugcat au where the gods are iterators #(names + abilities pending)#the big 3 kids are purposed organisms and the rest “natural” slugcats #Frank (The Juggernaut) is the chief of the clan and has to deal with these random ahh weirdos (the 3) rocking up #he's honeslty like Gourmand with less cooking skills and more endurance lmao- just a muscle powerhouse fit into a slimy rodent body #Jason (The Turbine)'s retired from being a Messenger and has no clue what to do with his life now (he becomes a scholar later on)#he's a centipede/wing hybrid and can electrocute anything he grabs given enough pips + can double jump (to handle Pipeyard lol pray for him #Percy (The Navigator) wonders off to explore since his creator didn't really HAVE plans for him other than occasional missions #he's honestly just colour swapped Rivulet with less spear skills (but can aim and throw them really well under water)#Hazel (The Martyr/Apostate) pulling a power move and refusing to die lol #she escaped the void & probably does everything to keep herself bound to the cycle in fear of getting dragged back #she doesn't have anything really special that i can think of other than actually dealing damage with debris and being able to wall climb #Annabeth (The Weaver) as lookout for ancient research and really good at building ladders/utilising the landscape. the most basic scug tbh #she can also take spears off of walls p easily and probably has a grapple worm friend #Piper (The Mimic/Paradigm? names r hard) being able to copy plant toxins/abilities. does most damage up close & is mostly a herbivore #like eating sporepuffs for a smokescreen. cherrybombs to scare off/stun into unconsciousness. lilypucks/slime mold to glow and etc #Leo (The Artillerist) as a scrawny little guy with explosives. fast but physically weak. he has to rely on his int and makes the clans tool #basically Arti/Monk mix without double jump but able to reassemble Iterator parts (jesus i had to Work to not accidentally copy her design)#Festus is a lizard!! he's probably a stupidly big Yellow and is our beloved. he got saved by Artillerist and followed him ever since :)#alternatively: an au where Leo just ends up in rw and insults 5p (who is confused on how an ancient survived and why he's Like That)#pjo #rain world

All of these "who has more anything gender!" polls are just. white man without extreme body builder muscles v white man without extreme body builder muscles. The gender is "masculine" stop pretending it's universal

#even worse is when it's 'tradionally feminine' v 'traditionally masculine (without super ripped muscles' and the notes are all #she's the opposite of gender he's THE only gender ever.#'gender' isn't even androgynous anymore it's just some guy #vent post #idk I'm just kind of 😬 about people not seeing binary girl or even predominantly feminine as 'gender' whatever the fuck that means #you like androgyny when it's on twinks but don't think the butch lesbian that only calls herself a woman is 'gender' huh #and something about genderfluid characters only ever being accepted when they're in their 'not cis' presentation (cough ze l da)#like..i consider myself genderfluid and sometimes have guy-adjacent euphoria days #(still think about everyone who he/hims me when I cosplay Link ❤️)#but... I get just as much when I'm wearing what's 'expected' of me like skirts and dresses and makeup and am seen as a girl #because a lot of times growing up i wasn't really included in the girl stuff but was still too girl for the boy things :/#and I feel like. everything focuses on the andro of androgynous that they forget androgynous doesn't mean vaguely fem guy #it's like. shiek is winning the gender poll. but zelda wouldn't. even though they're the same person and one doesn't exist without the other #nonbinary but the binary isn't girl-boy it's trans-cis #nice dichotomy idiot #what lies outside of it

Hook calling OC while high and, in between bouts of giggling, telling him how much he loves him and misses him and wishes he was here so they could snuggle.

#Presented without context #Just a thought that popped into my tired ol' brain #Will I ever get sick of OrangeHook??#Probably not #It's just my brand now #And I need precisely 8 million fics about them getting high together and screwing around #Hook accuses OC of being a lightweight #And Orange *really* likes it when Hook's more high than he is. Because reasons.

The thing about both my Doctor Who oc Erin and her corresponding Doctor is that they're both constantly lying and avoiding discussing their pasts to both eachother and people around them, and they're totally okay and happy with this and perfectly cool with constantly lying until a secret comes out/people find out that they lied about something and suddenly its

Oh God I'm a horrible terrible person for lying and everyone will hate me and I deserve it for being a lying piece of shit and my life is a lie and suddenly thats a bad thing and you're gonna abandon me for lying to you now

#its also key to me that the other absolutely wouldnt abandon the other they just think that #they just have double standards for themselves #also if it turns out the other person didnt actually discover the lie/they found a way to remove the other's memory of that #(including without consent)#everything's fine again and theyre no longer a terrible person for being a lier because noone knows the truth so it doesnt count #they're a pretty clammed up doctor but not in the way of 13 #i havent really made anything or any ideas about the doctor she is companion to apart from this but this bit is very important #its important to me that both Erin and her Doctor are weird about this in the same way and they don't communicate about it by choice ever #i think it makes logical sense why Erin is like that due to like backstory wise and the fact that her idk zygon unit asylum papers are like #congrats! here's some made up vague backstory for your life pre-2013 now you have to lie abut that and the fact that you're not human #for the rest of your life!#that does something to a person #the doctor on the other hand #is just like that why are you like that dude #all doctors have to be weird about personal info in a slightly different way its for the flavour #doctor who #doctor who oc #original character #dw #the doctor #historical companion on a technicality because her present day is 2023 #which is now the past

Thinking abt Him again (Wendy Carter)

#rat rambles #missing my favoritest carter atm. and also wendy ig #I am sad that wendy skill tree drop isnt by webber's side but at least abby gets to be skill tree bros with Her bestie 😌#I still haven't looked at wendy's skilltree because god I am afraid why has it been taking this long wendy abby what did you two do #I will keep procrastinating tho because even tho my standards aren't technically all that high I still feel like they're too high #wendy has like 4 game mechanics and I ideally would want his skill tree to stay focused more on those things #Ive heard that wendy's skill tree lets him do some stuff as a ghost and thats. neat I guess. but its not what Im looking for.#I Really don't think Wendy needs whole new types of mechanics I just want stuff to make sisterns both good and interesting some stuff for #abby to make her more fun to fight stronger enemies with and some new elixers #and tbh. I dont like the idea of wendy himself doing cool ghost stuff. if anything Id rather he be able to buff other dead players #I just think a vital part of wendy's kit to me is that without abby hes just a less shitty wes #but the problem with that is that it means that for like 90% of the bosses (it Im being generous) you are fighting as a less shitty wes #and could fuck around with the idea of wendy expanding from being an abby specific support unit to a more general support unit #now ofc this would have drawbacks and be hard to implement well but y'know.#I also just dont like the idea of too many non abby ghost perks in general as I think it would just add needless bloat #which tbf is like what half of every skill tree is so idk what I expected #some characters rly do need the extra mechanics due to very nothing burger base kits but I really don't think wendy needs that much #again the tools for giving wendy and abby cool flashy shit or more practical stuff are already present #so yeah idk if Ill like his skill tree much. which is why Ive been avoiding looking at it like the plague ever since it was announced #I try not to be too bitchy abt skill trees even tho I've basically never liked them since most of the time they're inoffensive #but this is my boy so I will be a big baby about his skill tree being mid no matter what they put on it lol #I hope walter and wortox mains are having fun at least they both need the reworks badly #now for walter I dont trust that a skill tree will be what he needs but wortox can work with this I think #just above all else god I hope webber's skilltree is good whenever klei decides to release webber from their basement #poor boy needs the buffs so bad he has been painfully outclassed in every regard for years
