#Is this overkill

[medusagorgongirl1]

I'm sick of this Fandom saying that Dick only eats cereal and that the only thing Tim can cook is a cup of coffee and treating Jason like he's some sort of michelin star chef, like seriously? that's it?

Dick came from a circus full of people with different cultures and backgrounds. Idk if y'all have every gone to one of those big weddings that takes place in your cousins back yard but fucking everyone comes together with food. You make the things you know and love and share them with the people your friends and family know and love. And also Dick was a kid that loved attention, of course he would sit in the kitchen and be entertained by someone while his parents were training. I'm convinced that Dick knows how to cook the most random, homey, comfort food dishes but like nothing 'ordinary'. Like that man can make the best goulash you've had in your life (only with the good paprika), he makes vegetarian momos that even Damian can't resist, his challah had more jew in it than Bruce does. But if you ask him to bring a casserole to a get together, he'll fucking bluescreen and buy a pre-made potato salad.

I agree that Jason is a good cook. As a kid I was poor, but in my later teenage years we were more middle class. That change in being able to buy ingredients, to actually make something homemade with is insane. I'm convince that one day he showed Alfred one of those '3 ingredients browine recipe' and asked if that wasn't too much to use and Alfred introduced him to the concept 'the more ingredients the better taste'. That said, as an adult I don't think he was making all these grand dishes. He doesn't live with Bruce, and frequently changes safe houses. He doesnt have the dishware to make these extraordinary foods. Like he'll make some fettuccine alfredo, but those aren't homemade noodles. He's not making a cheesecake, but he'll make a nice banana bread. I also think that he would be a bit nostalgic for the foods of his childhood like we all are in a way, but he would better it. Like cheap ass Ramen? That man is making a steaming bowl of pho. Baked potatoes? Creamy potatoes au Gratin. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Fruit tarts with peanut butter cookies. He's not phenomenal, but he's resourceful.

I said this in a previous post but Tim can cook goddammit. He grew up in a big home as tween with an unlimited fridge. He did what kids do; make really shitty food until they understand cooking. He would thrive off of reciving praise from his parents if he informed them on how independent he is. I know he tried to learn how to make all of their favorite meals until he could recite the recipe word for word. And I don't think that left even after he became robin. Because things were shaky with Bruce for a while, and Tim needed to prove himself. He definitely found out how to make the most tasty protein filled post workout foods because he was determined to be a good robin. I think that as an adult a lot of those would stick too. Like he would know how to make a lot of standard meals, and knows how to read relatively re create a recipe. He isn't useless in the kitchen just because he's rich.

Stephanie is always neglected in these and I refuse too, I love her. I think that she would be kinda a combination of Jason and Tim, like she knows as a vigilante (especially one always underestimated) she really needs to prove she can hold her own and I think that means that she would care about her diet in relation to her workout regime. Her diet would probably consist of a lot protein, fiber and vegetables. But also I think she would be more nostalgic that Jason. Because who can't help but romanticize the sight of your mom making your birthday cake and adding a drop of magic that turns it purple. If it comes down to the frozen pizza or the frozen stir fry, she might choose the pizza because it's the same brand her mom would make on Fridays. She knows how to make the foods that are good for her (to an extent, similar to Tim in that way) but she would also be able to make more of her comfort foods. But above all else, she's a sucker for convenience store meals. She's a patsa roni after patrol kinda gal. And some days she'll add in steamed broccoli, but the nights she's really feeling it, she might just turn on some old cartoon and sit on the floor with her pasta roni.

Damian is more interesting. Always being wealthy has him thinking cooking a bit beneath him. BUT, he also how easy it is to poison someone by making their meals. I feel like in the league of assassin's he learned to detect poison in food and knows how to get it back up. But, it's easier to detect that type of thing with plants. I think he knows which plants are poisonous simply by sight, taste and smell. And besides the obvious reason behind his vegan/vegetarianism I think that is also one of the contributing factors. But I still think it took him a while to come around to Alfred and ask to learn how to make more of the foods he can eat. I don't think that would happen until after he has since how the memories from cooking affect Dick, how cooking gives Jason a sense of freedom and control, and Tim independence. I think he would come to recognize the importance of being able to do something for yourself without assistance. I think he would begin with shyly approaching Alfred vegan recipe he found (because vegan/vegetarians recipes are finally becoming more mainstream and popular on social media), and Alfred will agree because he wants Damian to request certain foods. He wants Damian to truly enjoy meals and not just tolerate something Alfred makes. So I think Damian would know how to make a lot of staple dishes, but also a lot of really yummy vegan dishes. But I also think he would have a slight nostalgia for foods more regional to Nanda Parbat. Specifically I think he would miss spicy food and that it would become necessary in his favorite dishes. I think he would be a sucker for a nice lentil soup, so spicy that only Jon can stomach it.

Sorry for the long post, but this has been on my mind a bunch lately.

Gotta start doing trial makeup for this concert as if it's my fucking wedding

[seishiroed]

maybe i’m reading too much into this, but this looks like to me the slightest foreshadowing into sanji’s backstory, and one of his greatest insecurities that he fights with later on in the series.

in this volume of the skypiea arc, sanji has already revealed that he’s from the north blue (opposed to the east, like the rest of the crew thought) and then when further inquired about it, he hastily brushes it off. later it’s inferred that this is because of his vinsmoke name, and he’d rather not open that can of worms by choice.

however, i noticed that when mont blanc cricket is talking about noland - about how he suffered ridicule all his life because of his name and family and their legacy - the next panel is of sanji quietly sitting by as the others actively listen to cricket’s story. now, it may look like a stylistic touch to have the panel composed like this, but i think sanji is purposely in the foreground. mont blanc cricket resenting noland because of the legacy he bestowed upon everyone with his name (being a liar), is very similar to sanji resenting the vinsmokes because of the bad name they have given him (heartless evil army). so in putting sanji in the foreground, passive and pensive, i believe this is another foreshadow of sanji’s story, because he silently relates to cricket’s qualms with his family and this is eluded to the reader by making him the dominant subject matter.

This might be overkill with the whole anime collection thing I don't know.........

[inkskinned]

it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

literally pinning down that old man for "Ford Gets Held Down" day by @candycatfalls, i'm a day late but i can do what I want because i said so. Enjoy some Bill Cipher, BCE (Boredom-Certified Entomologist)

Good Timeline Future Mikey, where, by the time he's thirty-nine, he actually looks thirty-nine and not ancient because of mystic overuse (← I fully subscribe to the headcanon that, in the movie, he looks so much older than his actual age because he overexerted his ninpō fighting the Krang)

Nothing wrong with Ancient Mikey! He is very valid and I love him! And my theory is that his future design was supposed to be reminiscent of Splinter's features. BUT I wanted to try my hand at designing what I think Mikey'd look like as a healthy future turtle.

He deserves all the hair.

Edit: So apparently, according to one of the show writers, the mystically-induced fast-aging is canon! (Sources here and here, thanks @thebadhalfofafandom!)

How i feel listening to Men at Work

[lovelyghst]

ghost fucking himself dumb with your pussy while he sucks on your fingers, shoved knuckle-deep between his pink, swollen lips. bucking his hips unrhythmically, nothing but needy, and with hearts in his eyes as he stares down at your pretty, pliant body.

his poor dick throbs surrounded by your tight warmth, his harsh grip on your hips minute to the way he’s relentlessly rubbing up against that sweet spot in you.

he’s already filled you up once and he’s barreling towards another high in the matter of seconds, evident with the sweat slicking his biceps, the heavy rise and fall of his chest in short intervals, even his lesser-controlled noises that spill out around your digits. there’s no such thing as a ‘quickie’ with this man; he can’t help but always press past one round, especially after you ask him so, so nicely for more.

jaw slacking as his abs pull taut with the pressure building in his tummy, eyes fluttering shut on their own volition, posture lurching forward above you when he spills his cum deep inside you. grinding himself through his high, sloppy as ever, and you’ve never felt more satisfied as you take in his every expression.

he’s grown obsessed with the feeling of having his mouth stuffed full. allowing himself to turn utterly light-headed and brain-dead around you, to touch and fuck you unsophisticatedly, and without a worry in the slightest.

OVERKILL

The Encore of Vanguard, A Theatrical Production of Infinitesimal Proportions

(Interactive - In Stars and Time AU)

Here's the cast! Overkill is a warped horror version of Isat where it's the end of the world. For clarity I'm only going to work on this more casually, so its not a comic but closer to an askblog.

So in @askoverkill Loop was the one to give Dawn and Dusk their nicknames after those two mocked them for calling the Director stardust.

My first thought after reading this was "Loop certified nicknamer" and then I spent way too long making this:

But it also got me thinking, how many Siffrins did Loop nickname before giving up and started calling them all dead meat? Not only giving up on any hope of escaping the loops or convincing the Director to stop with this villain madness, but also of every Siffrin mattering, because the one thing capable of change here became monotone, a different actor for the same role.

At least it's easier to think of it like that if they stop the nicknaming, stop noticing the difference between each Siffrin, stop helping them.

But in the quiet nights when Loop looks up to the red sky (couldn't even let me have that, could you Stardust?) will they think back on how every Siffrin questioned them on their choice of a nickname?

Beloved for the Siffrin who had loving words of forgotten parents embedded in his cloak.

Black hole for the Siffrin who was a kleptomaniac and always had in his pockets trinkets stolen from their party.

Clover for the Siffrin that always did things in groups of fours instead of three.

Sunny for the Siffrin that kept a real smile until the bitter end.

Stardust...

...Who cares? They're not the first one to give up—that's you—and they certainly won't be the last, you should instead use this time to rest, you certainly need it.

Nighty night, Loop.
