"Hey are you okay?" How would you feel if you found out two of your favorite characters you've been obsessing over for months and thinking about constantly were just fake personalities by created a demon entity possessing their corpses and the moral grayness and complexity was fake and their relationships with the other characters were fake and ALL OF IT WAS FAKE!!!!!!!

( Some clarification: This is an exaggeration of my feelings, I did like the episode)

I'm thinking about them again (nuzi).

Y'know, Liam once said that he had built N and Uzi with the other character in mind. I thiiiiink it was in some interview... might have been GlitchX, I don't remember exactly, but I know he said it. Now I may not be him, but I've only written a character directly for another and then killed them for story progression once.

I just. I don't want one to have to go on without the other. He could kill them both and I wouldn't care as long as they were with each other when it happens. Just. God. Liam I'm begging you.

Sorry if this makes no sense it's like 1am I got a headache and I'm just thinking about my beloved pookies

[fortunelowtier]

I think they would be friends

so most of the db cooper job is. a lot. but the ending in particular where nate confides in sophie that he's the siren, not odysseus, is genuinely going to make me start shooting eye beams. nate's whole Thing is that he understands people and what they want/need. it's how he pushes the team and encourages them, and it's also how he manipulates them and their marks. it's one thing to want others to suffer the harm you most fear -- physical, social, emotional -- but it's another to try and get inside the other person's head to understand what would hurt THEM the most. because at that point it's premeditated! it's not about catharsis, it's about sadism! but as always it's a double-sided coin, because that same talent lets him see what his team most needs and wants, and it lets him see the good in them that he can't see in himself. he's the siren, not odysseus, because odysseus has his own wants and needs and the siren doesn't. it just reflects back at people what THEY want, because all it wants is to destroy. and now we get to find out if nate's going to use this power constructively or get all new testament about it, and i assume attempts at both will happen by the end of this season. cool cool cool.

Timeloop au snippet

Smaller human, Nesta had to tip back her chin to the point of lurid invitation, to make contact, nose brushing the notch of his collar bone.   “Spring,” she muttered, making a face, “Roses.”  Curled in his shirt, Nesta’s sure grip pressed to Lucien’s ribs. An ease. Not a push. What could or could not be a request, all for Lucien to decide.   He backed up. Tugged her along with him, until Lucien spilled backwards onto that wide bed he’d grown to hate, russet colors brightened by Nesta sliding close without pause. Her head on his pillow, her searing eyes close, Nesta let out a long breath.   “We,” she announced, nose brushing Lucien’s as he scooted closer, “Have a problem.”   Lucien had a problem- he’d never kissed her human mouth. Breathed in the scent of warm skin instead, under the sear of those heated grey eyes. “A problem that made you cross the wall in twenty minutes. Are you”-  “Five days,” Nesta interrupted, words hissed across his face.   Time stretched, Lucien stared. It wasn’t possible. Shouldn’t have been. Even operating under the undeniable truth that impossible things found Nesta like moth to flame, curses did not alter. Shift. The specificity required for that far a reach of magic was-   “Fucking ridiculous,” Nesta picked right up, like she could hear his very thoughts.

“You’re alright?”   “I’m fine.” A near, fond thing, the roll of her eyes. Nesta sighed. “I’m also more sure than ever I did not start these fucking loops. There is no version of myself that wished to go back to the first time Rhysand foisted Cassian on me.”   The first time- Lucien’s heart seemed to clench. “Nesta.”   “I’m fine.” Softer, a promise, cool fingertips brushing his jaw. “He just”-

“He just what,” Lucien asked, nearly soundless.   Nesta curled forward, boots brushing his calves, moving into Lucien’s body until she was breathing against him, with him. “He was exactly the same. I’m not. He tried to- well, as it turns out, even at mortal strength, a knife through the eye is enough to kill an Illyrian.”   Horrible and wonderful and- Lucien laughed, the sound relief, brightening her face into those wicked lines he knew so well now.   “Bribed a kelpie to carry me over the wall,” Nesta admitted, flat teeth flashing in a distinctly inhuman way. “You’re going to have to help me with the rest of the body, Vanserra.”

im watching étoiles valo and i’ll probably be too lazy to vod later but it sounds to me like a tubbo cubito is once again going through the Paranoia Horrors <3 but like that specific paranoia where your seemingly outlandish theories and thoughts actually have a decent amount of truth to them and it’s just the way they manifest/are expressed that is rooted in distrust and fear

The Dungeon Meshi character I think about the most, not love the most but think about most, is Chilchuck. He is much more Some Guy than anyone else, he's got a wife and kids and he's gonna open a store. He's a little dude with sharp senses who knows about locks and traps, and it's all very straightforward compared to like, really anyone else in the manga.

But why I'm fascinated is that his whole core essence revolves around organization and function, around safety not in the sense of cowardice or excess caution, but in the sense of a deeply rooted belief that everyone deserves to live and everything has a place. One day he'll open a shop and retire but right now his people are being exploited and he needs to plan for his future, so he's unionizing half foots and reducing risk and that functions for society because it's dumb using the guy watching your back as bait. It's a broken system he has to fix.

And it's like that with Laios and Senshi and Marcille and Falin. Falin dies, it's a broken system, she was a vital component that kept the group healthy. Eating monsters departs from the system, it's wrong to him, but then he figures out how Senshi has created a new system with better survivability. Senshi interrupts his trap hunting and he goes ballistic because that's not how the system survives. Itzutsumi drives him bonkers because she refuses to be a part of his system. Laios' lack of people skills frustrates him because Laios' charisma has made him a leader. A leader needs to know how to see how people feel, and Laios can't do that.

I think a lot about how his approach and personality are so nicely interwoven with his skill at traps and exploration. Everyone else has big weird personalities, but Chilchuck, well he's not a cool head per se, but his weirdness is less grandiose. He's a puzzle guy, a problem solver, and everyone around him is a moving part he's trying figure out. People ditch the party early on and he's not bothered because that's mechanically sound. Laios and Marcille go back and he has to come too because they're more than friends, they're a part of something that works and survives and even missing a part, he knows he can keep this little machine running. But they won't thrive without him, and he won't work as well alone.

….lowkey kinda wanna craft my own sherlock adaptation

I could write so much about the differences between Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus one as different sides of a political story.

Shin was a political satire at points about the ineffectiveness of Japanese Beauracracy in the face of immediate crisis and how a solution can only be found once the government is pared back to a leaner, more agile and less bound by red tape core of problem solvers. I talks about competence and creativity and radical ideas in the face of insurmountable odds once freed from constraint. The protagonists are young, scrappy and ambitious and the idea that you can make a difference, can step up and save everyone if only you were free to do so.

Minus One is about humans struggling to deal with a crisis in the face of a LACK of government, with almost no military after the trauma of a war they were forced into by their government and then lost badly. It's about picking up the pieces and then having those pieces kicked over again because of the actions of others and possibly, the inaction of one of the protagonists in the past. It's about regret and shame and heartbreak and the feeling you are not worthy of happiness so denying it when it presents itself to you.

And while Shin deals with the constraints placed on Japan by the treaty that ended World War II and whether or not they can deploy their self-defense forces to try and stop Godzilla before it is too late, Minus one deals with the lack of support from the US Occupying Forces who seem to not care if Japan gets absolutely destroyed again. You can almost feel a kind of callous disdain in the non-presence of the Americans as if they are ok with Japan being destroyed as long as it doesn't lead to conflict with the USSR. Or maybe they are just using that as an excuse to further humiliate a defeated enemy that once threatened them.
