Startle the natives in your town with this amazing advertising trick! I love how enthusiastic this ad is about what's basically a sign painted on glass and an electric light. To be fair, it was only seven years since the first public demonstration of outdoor electric light in the US.

posts inspired by the orv yuri discord's discussions about yoo joonghyuk's long journey of exploring her identity and learning to understand herself, which results in a coming out that kim dokja responds to in the most insane case of monkey see monkey do by going 'well, i guess we're women now' and trying to subtly copy yoo joonghyuk's outfits.
#kim dokja the woman you are <3#her black hole of identity <3#what do you do when the person you've based your entire identity around transitions? well of course you transition too.#its just the sort of thing you do. and there is absolutely zero self reflection going on here by the way#yoo joonghyuk transitioning is a sign of self exploration and discovery#kim dokja transitioning is the opposite of that. somehow. even though she is definitely a woman. sigh

WELCOME to the beginning of a silly fun idea - i've airdropped the tetro cast into one of my favourite games, Blue Reflection Second Light! I think a summer in oasis would fix them.
i'm not saying that tetro and BR2 have the exact same premise or tone, but there are enough similarities in storytelling & tropes i enjoy that really scratch an itch in my brain in each. also, i love making characters into magical girls and giving them guns
watari would adore blue reflection 2
i've split the characters here into girls (and okazaki) and boys, but you can imagine them as one big happy group too. moko's there no matter what <3
you don't have to be up on the lore and junk, i like to describe BR2 as 'the magical girl commune game' (a heartscape's like a dungeon born of your life experience and imagination - everyone gets one, usually as you collect each character they unlock for you to explore)
expect more of this! they don't even have their magical girl outfits yet (and br2 is all about hanging out, my favourite thing to doodle characters doing)
#tetro danganronpa pink#blue reflection second light#magical girl au#magical girls#and of course magical boys#what if we were spirited away and forced to live together but instead of killing each other we just had a fun summer#bittersweet in less of a bloody visceral way#i hope you enjoy my silly weapon ideas#tsuno stop sign is so important to me#pink reflection au

The fact that before the Sign of Four Watson had literally only published a Study in Scarlet, and every story after that (before the great hiatus) he frames as happening either before or after his marriage makes me think that Mary must've been the one to encourage him to properly start writing them.
#I think she realized how much less time he and Holmes mustve been spending together now that he was living with her#and tried to encourage him to go talk to his friend more (cuz literally all we see of her is her being supportive of Watson helping Holmes)#but whenever that wasnt possible she suggested reflecting on their old times together#in sign of four stories are how Watson tried to cheer up Mary#and now she like. thinks that the stories could help him too yk#especially love this idea cuz it could be like. he wasnt really sure about his own writing#but she felt like his storytelling in those carriage rides was so charming even given the circumstances#that she sorta by extension became the reason Holmess stories were written at all#cuz we know HOLMES wasn't exactly encouraging about it rolls underscore eyes underscore emoji#idk i just love book warstan idc if theyre underdeveloped#HEAVILY watsonian reading#alternatively for a johnlock reading maybe she suggested to just write stories in general#but watson couldn't think of anything interesting to write about himself so he chose someone who he thought was#sherlock holmes#acd canon#john watson#acd holmes#sherlock holmes books#acd watson#john h watson#watson#mary morstan#mary watson#john watson x mary morstan#johnary#warstan#the sign of four#sherlock holmes canon#stuff noa says

do you think the waves washing up in the shores of Ithaca glimmered a bit more golden the morning after 600 Strike
#either from fish daddy’s ichor or from Zeus making fun of his older brother by making Apollo shine to reflect a certain way#“Apollo get over here I need you help rubbing salt in Don Don’s many wounds”#take your pick#do you think that was the ‘sign’ Penelope sang of in The Challenge#penelope was grasping at straws I fully believe she was going batshit insane#600 strike#get in the water#epicthemusical#epic the musical#epic#epic fandom#epic musical#odysseus#epic odysseus#posideon#epic poseidon#vengeance saga#epic the vengeance saga#please reblog with tags I think they’re funnier then the actual post

He was just being a silly little guy!
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin guangyao#wen ruohan#nie mingjue#lan xichen#JGY's character is the zigging and zagging guy of all time#We love a little meow meow that can bite and scratch and kill you.#We also love a little meow meow that can mewl pathetically!#'He's evil now and torturing his former friend?" ZAG TIME: He's a spy and feels soooo awful about it!!#ZIG TIME: He (probably) didn't need to go that deep into the role and kill as many people as he did.#Something I really love about the sworn brother trio is how they reflect how our feelings distort our perception of others.#Lan Xichen represents how when we love/care about someone -anything they do can be endearing. They aren't manipulative: they are clever.#Its less about rose tinted glasses and more about reframing every look you get of them. The constant justifications you make for them.#They just need a space to be loved! “They care for me so I will stand by them no matter what to show them I'm there for them!”#While NMJ represents how when you dislike someone - Everything they do is an affront or proof of their foul character.#Everything is a sign. Everything is 'proof' they are just as awful as you want them to be. Every 'good trait' is twisted.#The problem is that most people are just human. They are flawed and they are capable of good and bad things.#Meng Yao's motivations are very complex. Yet he's extremely human all the same. He isn't the saint nor the monster of the story.

I simply think this fandom doesn't give Wei Wuxian enough credit for the various ways in which he saved Lan Wangji
#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#wangxian#idk man- i just see a lot of “Lan Wangji has always been protecting Wei Wuxian” posts and its like...#I mean... Lan Wangji has always certainly been trying to protect Wei Wuxian#it took him a long time to figure how to successfully do that though#rereading the books rn and noticing theres a lot of instances that could be read as lwj being frustrated over his inability to protect wwx#like he seemed ready to cry when wwx went missing for a while and then came back with the cursed leg#lwj has always been great at protecting wwx from physical threats (ex: waterborn abyss) but had no idea how to protect him from himself#meanwhile wwx has always been instictually good at saving lwj from both#like I'm 100% lwj would've become like Jiang Cheng if wwx hadn't snapped him out of the blindly following authority thing#and also like... 15 y/o lwj wasnt happy with his life. he was lonely and stressed and literally signing up to be flogged whenever he goofed#wwx is who allowed lwj to grow up by showing him what it was like to actually be a kid (shown in story whenever lwj gets drunk)#he led lwj to having a more flexible mindset. and it both let lwj relax and set lwj up to be a better parent#looking into lwj's dynamic with the juniors- he lets them break a fuck ton of the petty rules and encourages them to question authority#he also teaches them to not be married to any one meathod of problem solving#wwx is also able to save lwj from his own stubbornness#ex: carrying lwj when he broke his leg. getting lwj to cough up bad blood. getting lwj to keep the rabbits#wwx also tends to give lwj the words he has trouble saying himself. helps him communicate#wwx also protects lwj in fights a lot but thats narratively less important#except the various times wwx puts himself in danger to help lwj. those times are what made it so lwj could never move on from wwx#like with the cave incident#or when wwx helped surpress the arm instead of using the chaos to escape cloud recesses#tldr i guess: i think this fandom tends to treat lwj being the best like its natural to him when really wwx accidentaly rewired his brain#I'm looking directly at fanfic writers who act like the Lans would've treated wwx better than the Jiangs#lwj had to do so much work and self reflection post meeting wwx to be the way he is. he is not the sole product of the Lan teachings
