#and im so glad they ended it where they did

[creatingblackcharacters]

i wanna submit shuri from black panther for one of my favorite Black characters

the first time i watched the movie, she was instantly one of my favorite characters. shes smart, funny, and she doesnt let people walk over her. at the same time tho, shes still young and relies on the adults in her life

i hadnt been planning on watching wakanda forever, but my little sister wanting me to watch it with her and im so glad i did. the movie takes shuris anger and grief so seriously, and the rest of the characters stand with her on that, and even when they warn her about the desicions shes making, they still back her up. it was incredible to watched the ways shuri has changed from the first movie, and how shes stayed the same. the scene at the end where she finally processed her grief was so cathartic, and im glad they let her have that healing. im not really a fan of marvel stuff anymore, but they did pretty good with the black panther movies

Shuri! Her introducing Colonizer to the lexicon as something to call condescending white people remains iconic.

Tbh, I still haven't watched Wakanda Forever. I know it's good, I know it's well written, I just 😭 I was a bit shattered with Chadwick's passing. Plus, yeah like you said, I kind of don't care about Marvel anymore. Losing Chadwick was kinda it too, because I was looking so forward to this entire legacy and then... Suddenly gone. Heartbreaking.

She needed to mourn, her and Leticia, I'm sure. I can't imagine having to act through an actual loss of somebody, and from what I've heard of the movie, even more. Yeah I'm still not ready 😭 But Shuri was always gone be the one to don the suit. I remember people acting like she shouldn't have 🙄 it's literally in the comics. Corny "we don't wanna follow women" ass men, fr.

yessssssssssss

i got worried when they brought in ellie conscious cause like, part of what made the ending of the first game work is that NO ONE asked ellie.

marlene talks about how it would be what ellie would want, but didnt actually give her a chance to voice that and, added for the show, it echoes the hypocrisy and the pain of kathleen yelling at henry about believing the world revolves around his brother while she literally hunted him down for hers.

it's the "no one giving ellie a choice" - it doesn't matter if she would agree with you, cause you knocked her tf out before you could even give her a chance to breathe.

joel did the same, but the difference is, if joel did talk to ellie, he would've let her. he wouldn't survive it, but he would've let her.

but if marlene was wrong about ellie? and ellie WOULDNT agree to it? i don't know that i think marlene would respect that. which i like about her character, it makes her dynamic and a good mirror AND foil for joel.

of course, this is speculation. because she didn't actually give ellie a choice.

and neither did joel. "i thought you deserved a choice" bullshit with ellie and tommy but not when it comes to the greater meaning to your painful journey.

i love it. i love the complexity and the nuance and the complicated love that exists in all of it, the undercurrent of it all.

because while i agree ellie would probably undergo the surgery, i still think, if she puts her impressive emotional intelligence to the forefront, she'll understand if she did, it would mean the end of joel. and i think that fact would make her hesitate at the bare minimum or say no at the max.

of course, this is hypothetical, since no one actually asked her - which is what helps make this ending work.

anyway, ashley johnson giving birth to ellie in every way has me sobbing.

yall i drew these back in may when i finished the devils playhouse and just forgot to post them so im doing that now

also obligatory shitpost:

[thedrotter]

as a little treat i am sharing with you little Aya doodles I've done over the last few days to unwind ww just little expressions based on lines in-game because those are always fun to draw. nothing too special just biscuit

it's Aya because upon doing bizarrely throughout playthroughs of the game for still unspecified project purposes I've gained a soft spot for her she's my daughter now my mental tier list on my favorite characters is so confusing right now

[todayisafridaynight]

whatever og text i had in mind for this post about ko shibasaki looking like sayama in this movie is completely cancelled on account of utsumi (this character)'s first name being kaoru and i only found this out cause i was looking up her name just to be sure when making this post

like jesus christ i legally have to make this post now

[oifaaa]

What has L done?

I mean off the top of my head he did illegally imprison 3 people and actively torture one of them but honestly I find the mouth noises he keeps making a bigger offence against me personally

[good-beans]

Made some new phone cases!! Thanks to @searihart for the tips, and the stickers are from rokkucha on Twitter/Instagram :3 These are paper collages, but I'll be slipping them underneath a clear case so they stay intact. I'm hoping to make a Yuno and Shidou one eventually!

And a shoutout to @ging-ler for my previous case -- I was sad to see her go, but the ducttape could only hold for so long 😔💖

hey this is Shitti and *holding ur hand* i love tsukishimaaaaaaa he's my favorite of the 7th division LOVE AT FIRST lizard nose. i was *SCREAMIN CRYING THROWING UP* during the last arc bc of him TOT

OUGHHH GRIPS YOUR HAND. TSUKISHIMA....

He actually stayed under my radar for a while but. You cannot hand me a pint-sized brick shithouse with a cute squished face and a distressingly atrophied sense of self and not expect me to eventually latch on. I think the arc with him and Tanigaki especially drove me insane...he tries so hard to be someone's weapon, no mercy, just mindless pursuit, but then it all falls apart to leave the pain that's been at his core for all those years.

(spoiler talk below)

AND THEN THE LAST ARC. I...was honestly expecting to lose him here, if I'll be real. It was giving me the vibe of a 'character doubles down on his fucked up mindset and it leads him to his end' kind of scenario. It's not surprising in the least, but it always kills me(positive) how he never actually breaks away from Tsurumi, it's just that Tsurumi is torn from him. Koito pleads for Tsurumi to set Tsukishima free...but I don't think Tsurumi could've done that if he even wanted to. It was always only up to Tsukishima, but after all those years of violence and manipulation he couldn't bring himself to make any other choice .

And that choice lead him back to the ocean. Again searching for a body, searching for direction.

Also this ask prompted me to look at a bunch of pics of him and I just remembered this panel that will never fail to compromise me.

[selfinflictedgunshotwound]

i'm kind of amazed how most of the stardew marriage candidates just want you to be their manic pixie dream whatever by agreeing with everything they like and plying them with compliments or praise or whatever (which is fine but a bit. Much) but for shane his romance is just you being there for him while he figures his own shit out... dunno why i never wanted to romance him before he's so good

[plumbley-bee]

I feel so conflicted

I liked it

But I'm disappointed

I'm happy with the ending message of finding happiness and realizing you have worth wherever you are

But idk, it just felt like something was missing.

I'm not smart enough to figure out what though haha so I'll just keep scrolling through the tag until maybe I can find my answer
