pmd eos special episode 2 but it's mob pyscho 100
#pmd2#my art#armaldo#guildmaster wigglytuff#igglybuff#special episode 2#se2#uhhh forget how ugly armaldo is and look at igglybuff the prodigy. hes cute#i was surprised when i rewatched se2 and found out that armaldo was basically super nice from the start#i genuinely had mixed it up with mob psycho and thought armaldo started WAAAAY more selfish and uncaring than he actually does#anyways everyone give it up for the pmd eos dad ever#tho tbh eos doesnt have that many dads. theres dugtrio chatot and armaldo. its uh. not a very exciting competition#even armaldo isnt that close to a dad to me. he really feels like a friend. mentor. weird uncle. but i think hes cool enough to get to dad#it probably doesnt help that igglybuff has two loving living parents that we see him interact with lmfao theres not even a gap here to fill#pmd eos#pokemon mystery dungeon

Okay slightly odd question but I was thinking about the red and green Uni hoodies and then they literally wore them in the last video and anyway those colors are so fucking bright (I have never encountered a lime green hoodie like that irl) while both my college sweatshirts are grey so I’m just wondering what color y’all’s hoodies are
(If you have more than one pick your fave, and choose the fabric background color, not the letters)
Like are bright colors a Thing and my college was just boring as fuck or do dnp own the most unusual neon items to exist out of a campus store
#I know most people who see this post are probably in the phandom but anyone feel free to answer I’m curious#like both of mine are grey#I guess I do have one sweatshirt from my dorm building that’s dark green#we were not big on school colors#so the bright red and green surprised me I guess?#dan and phil#dnp#phan#polls#dan howell#phil lester

I think the problems with idea of Bruce making Jason dye his hair black and why it's so brushed off is because it's stated in the Morrison run and seems comically evil or abusive to people, so people who don't think Bruce abusive are against it and people who DO think Bruce abusive doesn't fit in with the jaybin times, or think its a bit much
Edit: its also. Not a case of "not that bad even if it did happen" what the hell
This idea is stated in comic in the B&R Morrison run, to quote the panel "When I was Robin, Batman made me dye my hair to look like more Grayson." But I STAND BY the fact it is absolutely a valid interpretation on its own. Someone reading pre-crisis CAN absolutely come to this interpretation no Morrison required
And I am just. Really trying so desperately to fight how it's constantly getting insulted or brushed off as an idea or interpretation. Like god please even my own posts about it before had some using it to prop the fact it's a ridiculous idea with no basis in pre. Please I'm so tired
Let's examine pre-crisis, and get some notes out of the way. YES Jason put on the Robin suit on his own without input from Bruce. YES Jason dyed his hair first without input from Bruce.
I am referring to how, in universe/watsonian- he had to keep it up.
And as I stand, it's VERY easy to make Bruce not comically evil about it. In fact, it's remarkably easy to Bruce do it ENTIRELY accidentally. I believe Bruce would never INTEND for Jason to feel he has to dye his hair to look like Dick- maybe Jason saying Bruce "made" him to do it is wrong if thatll help ypur interpretation. But the matter at hand here is what Bruce, intentionally or not, would make Jason believe
What's in pre-crisis that makes this? While initially Bruce is against seeing Jason in the Robin suit- it's quite a shock as briefly thought Jason was Dick. As SOON as permission is granted from Dick, Bruce is all over it. He is joyous, he smiles the whole time, he doesn't correct anyone who thinks the dynamic duo is back and the original Robin is back in town.



That's actually a major part of pre-crisis and Jason in general to me, the fact Jason doesn't get his own separate identity, he doesn't feel like he's the next to bear a mantle, he feels like.. Robin. Not a new one like he is- but to be SEEN as the original. He brings no changes to the costume (considering his complaints about pants, I certainly see it as him believing he's not allowed to change it- its the same situation as the hair dye) he brings no new weapons, not even his own hair color, nothing unique to Jason is brought into the identity for the world and general population to see. The EXTENT is him having heart bangs during Dick's sidesweep era, but thats.. so small. And even THEN one could try and bring up the argument that it's similar to an established Dick hairstyle anyway
Jason hated being compared to Dick. One of his closest friends in pre-crisis was Harvey Bullock, after Harvey recognized him as a different Robin. His has a whole conversation with Donna about how she's treating him like Dick instead of Jason. Jason, even if doing it himself without orders from Bruce, would not see himself as willingly doing it or wanting to do it- to him, its not an active choice he's making. He'd be doing it to please Bruce
And, one of the first things Batman does when Jason dons the suit for real is like. Immediately as soon as Dick's gone say that Jason would be selfish for having his own identity- that'd itd be ego gratification. As soon as Jason accepts Robin, Batman effectively cuts Jason off from the costume he had before with this conversation. Jason brings up concerns of all his actions being attributed to Robin- and Batman compares it to if HE revealed his identity as Bruce Wayne- which is why it never works with it's intent of being a "dont be a hero for selfish reasons" speech to me.



Batman is wrong for this- he showed a VERY positive to reaction to Jason being Robin compared to Jason's own identity- he said he had no regrets. he makes his joy clear. No matter what he intends or wants or believes, a child will be able to see the preference and act in response. Batman LEARNS from this- as Tim will come around with his own completely distinct costume and style- and none of the others even feel like they have to dye their hair. Sure, maybe Jason had a pretty good run overall with Batdad but that doesn't mean Bruce doesn't fuck it up ever, he fucks it up alot, such is the life of Bruce Wayne
Like- I think it's important to stress that Bruce- especially 80s Bruce- doesn't really.. recognize consequences to his own actions? And that's a bit notable in viewing here.
NOW. If we're saying Jason kept the Robin suit and that's on him. As far as I see it Bruce was way too late in receding that and going like hey,, you don't HAVE to be Robin if you don't want to... Because like. He ALREADY made his position clear AND this is tied to Jason being beaten by the villain- After Quilt Man attacks Jason for being Robin is when Bruce is like hmm i mightve made an error. And like, what are the chances Jason wouldve seen that as Bruce saying Jay isn't good enough to be Robin. He would NEVER take that. Jason needs to prove himself. Also Jason is like. Being kinda mind controlled when this happens anyway. So.
And this all goes down to this. Jason is meant, in some way, to be seen as Dickbin. Jason himself does not like this, but the preference of Bruce is clear, the doors that open for Jason after he accepts Robin are clear (as I recall, it felt he had to stop fighting quite so hard to be allowed to work vigilantism). Bruce puts in Jason that Jason having his own identity is bad and wrong of him to want. Bruce prefers a sidekick he can mistake for Dick still being there having Robin by his side
If Jason can't make Robin is own, yeah, him having to dye his hair is gonna follow. It's also why any interpretations I see where Jason has a different costume from Dick i don't like because Jason being a "copy" of Dick is MAJOR to his story and always will be to me
Just. Stop saying the very IDEA is some ridiculous made up idea for edgy points please. This is how I genuinely interpret pre-crisis, which were the first Jason comics I read, and I am. so tired. I'm so tired
"That's not canon anymore" alot of pre-crisis actually is still canon in some form, canon is a coin flip entirely decided by who's writing at the time, the idea is spoken into canon during a run where Jason IS dying his hair and this conversation is about that + precrisis itself, not all of canon. Also honestly at this point it feels like DC is trying to make none of 80s jaybin canon if they could. And are we not all taking from various canons for our own interpretations? Also figuring out whats current canon and what's not in comics sounds like a genuine nightmare
I'm not even saying that you need to accept and adopt this into your your interpretation just stop being an ass about it. more people than morrison like it. and for more than morrison </3
IM fully blaming Bruce for this. Btw. I'm not even implying it's in any way Jason's fault also I'm attacking Bruce with my mind. He's TWELVE. STOP giving him complexes and identity issues!!! That's unrelated to the post but I need to make my stance clear I think this was very much a failure on Bruce's part and not his isolated lonely 12 yr old
#this isnt in any way directed at galaxy btw. (we having a conversation in my last post about this) like to be clear#im just STILL being mad this like i was when i made that initial post but i wanted to make a more clear version.which prob spread less rip#also i forogt to respond and its reached the point where Its Been Too Long so i Cant now so i just need to crawl in a hole abt it#im like just now realizing that was probably. looked bad considering how i left it. sorry galaxy TwT. it was an engaging convo i just forgo#jason todd#dc comics#batman#ask to tag#we press on#some of yall have like. a weird complex about hating precrisis as well. fascinatingly its a close venn diagram with people#who are surprised to learn joe and trina were eaten by crocodiles#this conclues my hater moment ill stop griping about this now i prommy#long post#ive been rambling for the past 4 hours and have to go somewhere now. im not double checking. be free my post#🎠🏚🌊#pre-crisis jason todd

One of my favorite things about the ASL Brothers is the fact that Ace was the one brought out the sake and proposed becoming brothers.
Not Luffy or Sabo but Ace.
Ace, who believes he is unlovable, Ace who believes that his blood is dirty, Ace who believes that he didn’t deserve to be born, Ace who thinks that his life is worthless, Ace who believes that his mere existence is a crime.
And yet Ace saw these two boys and approached them without apprehension or fear of rejection even though he was proposing something as irrevocable, something as bonding as brotherhood
#not to mention ace had these thoughts bc this is how the WORLD sees him#that world put these thoughts into his head and made him believe that#but sabo and luffy only see him. not gol d. or even portgas d. but just ace.#the way ace knew that they wanted this just as much as he did#like he is theirs and they are his and he knew that#i remember learning that ace proposed it and being *so surprised*#cause we had just seen that ace had no self worth and hated himself#but he knew that they accepted him and that they wanted him in their lives#and he decided to make it permanent#they are his family. they are his safe place. they love him unconditionally.#DO YOU GUYS GET WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY#goddd these brothers make me so ill#it’s 2am so if this doesn’t make sense that’s why#i am thinking so many thoughts#i’ll probably delete this later#portgas d. ace#asl brothers#one piece#concha speaks#asl rambles#concha posts

need to go back to my art feminization roots because i miss my babygirl sm :(
He’d just be so willing because he’s so eager to please. He just wants to be good for you. Buying lacy panties and he thinks they’re for you but they’re actually for him. He questions, “You want me to…wear them?” You say yes with so much assertion he doesn’t even think to question you.
Making him sit between your legs, his back against your chest. Palming him through the lacy fabric, feeling him grow to full hardness. Watching the pre cum seep through. Telling him, “You’re so wet. Already making a mess of your panties hm?”
He’s nodding and whining. You can tell he’s trying to hold back so you let your other hand graze over his nipples, pinching one between your fingers. Causing him to arch into your touch, throwing his head back onto your shoulder while he gasps, “Fuck.”
Dipping your hand beneath his waistband to start stroking him, keeping your grip firm while he bucks into your hand, “You’re so greedy. Can’t get enough of me playing with your clit right?”
That makes his head spin. His cocking throbbing in your hands. Pre cum still dribbling out of his tip. You slow down your movements telling him to say it, repeat it back to you. The blush spreads across his face when he stutters out, “I-I can’t get enough.” But that’s not good enough and he knows it. You stop your movements all together, focusing back on his nipples, rubbing and pinching.“Say it,” Your words muddled by kissing up the side of his neck. All the pleasure building up mixed with the friction of the lace against his cock, missing where your hand once was, “I love when you play with my clit, fuck, yes.”
So you move your hand back to his cock, stroking faster. Turning his face with your hand on his jaw, lips brushing against his when you whisper “And what else? Only good girls get to finish.”
He could feel his orgasm building up, and he almost came on the spot when you said that. But he didn’t wanna finish yet. Not before he said what you wanted to hear. His face flushed, eyes glassed over. You watched his face contort, until he moaned out, “I’m so—ah, my pussy is so greedy. Just for you. All for you baby, fuck. Fuck, nnngggg I’m gonna cum.”
You keep stroking him through his orgasm, lips still centimeters away from his while you call him your good girl.

A-anime?
you know, sometimes I forget that Twst is actually an isekai that starts with the protagonist getting run over by an inexplicable horse-drawn carriage. and every time I'm reminded is a delight because that's AMAZING.
also. look. okay. there's a lot of very fun stuff in the trailer but I am obsessed with that Crowley surprised pikachu face. me when I spend all my keys and gems literally hours before they announce overblot SSRs and drop the anime trailer:
#twisted wonderland#twst anime#<- gonna use that for anime stuff in case anyone wishes to filter it#this is the point where i once again have to admit that i have not really read the manga#(i've liked what i've seen but it's very hard for me to keep up with stuff a lot of the time)#(the anime may actually be easier for me to absorb it in :')#god i GOTTA draw the manga yuus#i kept meaning to when yuuna got revealed but i didn't get around to it before 7-13 ate my brain 😭#anyway the bits they chose for the trailer are pretty interesting to me!#like i think chances are good it was mostly from that one sequence because given the timeline#they probably don't have a ton of 100% finished post-comp footage yet so they probably just took what they have#but also i'm thinking back to how deliberately vague all the game promo stuff was#and...okay again i don't really know how they did it in the manga but i am reminded of how overblotting was actually like. a twist.#a twst twist#like we were introduced to it in the prologue with the mine phantom#but riddle's overblot was an actual SURPRISE and like. an instant reveal that okay THIS is what the story's gonna be about#so i'm just kinda wondering if the anime promos might also like...actively try not to spoil everything#or if they're gonna go full anime-intro 'here's all the super spoilery scenes you can expect to see :)'#basically is the marketing gonna skew towards new viewers or established fans. both valid i'm just curious!#also excuse me for a moment as i reveal myself as a hugely pretentious snob but#oh my god the backgrounds actually have some texture and shape and are taking style cues from the game backgrounds#oh my god the castle exterior actually looks illustrative and fantastic and isn't just a 3d model they plopped in#it's hard to tell at this point how consistent that'll be since most of the trailer is in the mirror chamber#but i'm just SO happy to see it! hopefully this means they weren't crunched to fuck and are able to really go ham#(the pre-isekai scenes all look more generic modern anime so like...is that a conscious artistic choice they made)#(because that would be incredible. holy shit.)

I relistened to Ep4 Cataracts And Hurricanoes the other day and I'm thinking about the similarities between the events of that episode and the events of Fisher's death (as heard in the recordings from Lovelace's mission in Ep18 Happy To Be Of Assistance).
In both cases, a Hephaestus crew member - a man who doesn't know that the Decima virus is running through his veins - is on a spacewalk. It should have been fairly routine, just adjusting something on the outside of the station. But weather in space can be unpredictable. There is a sudden unexpected emergency. Solar flares or meteors are about to hit the station - and the officer outside of it. The commander orders the officer to get inside immediately. He protests at first, not appreciating the danger (Eiffel: "What’s the big deal? There’s been like a hundred flares since we got here." / Fisher: "I'm almost done with the-") But soon it is clear that the situation is life-threatening. So the commander puts on a spacesuit and goes out into the danger, because she wouldn't even consider leaving her crew member out there to die.
One commander comes back with her unconscious officer in her arms. The other comes back with a broken arm and the weight of grief. Fisher dies, and it's the first of many deaths on Lovelace's Hephaestus mission. Eiffel survives, and it's the first of many life-or-death situations that we hear him making it through against the odds. And really it's just down to luck. Both Eiffel and Fisher had a skilled Commander willing to risk their life to save them. Both of them just needed to make it inside, and one did, and the other didn't.
Eiffel almost died the way Fisher did. Later he'll almost die the way Lambert and Hui did. It's another echo between the two Hephaestus missions, like the comparisons Lovelace reflects on in Variations on a Theme: "New people [...] Same hell. Same star." / "the new gang. [...] Same as the old gang." / "The more things change, the more they stay the same." Fisher's death reinforces how close Eiffel comes to dying in Cataracts and Hurricanoes; like all the deaths of Lovelace's crew, it reinforces the idea of the Hephaestus as a place of danger and chance and ghosts, a place that holds cycles of suffering.
#I know that spacewalks are probably one of the most dangerous things you could do on a space station#So it's not surprising that we hear multiple life-or-death scenarios involving them in this show#But the fact that it's the first time we hear Eiffel in danger of dying and the first death of Lovelace's crew#That feels significant#I am aiming to work my way through relistening to w359 atm btw#And am hoping to have more thoughts prompted by it to post on here#We'll see...#wolf 359#w359#doug eiffel#Mace fisher#The empty man posteth

ok, but imagine a post/mid-credits scene:
We see a dark door to Bucky's apartment from the inside, then hear rattling. Bucky opens the door while on the phone with Sam, ranting about what happened during the movie.
Then, he notices that there's faint light in one of his rooms, abruptly stopping the conversation and saying he'll call back. He cauciously walks up to the room as silently as he can, pulling out some kind of weapon in the meantime. He takes a steading breath and walks in.
Near a lightstand sits a man, one Bucky knows all too well, reading one of his books, his coat folded nearby. He doesn't look at Bucky but acknowledges him, greeting him.
Then he starts to talk.
He talks about power, how it corrupts absolutely. He talks about irony, how somones impulsive want can become their only purpose, the thing that was supposed to kill them the only value keeping them alive. He talks about a mission he was sent for, how it obviously is something he wasn't supposed to return from alive. He says that they can call it paying back for his help from last time, to make them even.
Bucky only raises his eyebrow, visibly unimpressed that so little info was supposed to convince him to do anything, especially for him. He asks for more details.
The man looks at him for a moment in silence, then closes the book he was reading.
"Say James," says Zemo, tilting his head, "What do you know about Latveria?"
#Bucky Barnes#helmut zemo#baron zemo#james bucky barnes#thunderbolts#marvel#mcu#zemo#post credit scene#it obviously will never happen cause they probably already forgot about zemo for next ten years again#but to not feature him in any way in the movie about a team HE made in comics should be considered a crime#what the mission is for you may be wondering#my guess would be that victor/his minions stolen something from us goverment and they want it back#so they sent somone who has personal experience with these parts of europe and local aristocracy but isnt important enough to be missed#maybe they sent him to spy for them from the inside by him pretending to join doom?#some sort of threats and explosives are most likely involved to make him compilant#from what we know about him mcu!zemo would absolutely despise doom so by itself it would be a punishment#my post#edit: i know that were in a multiverse saga so i shouldnt be surprised that the main bad of it is probably from another universe#i just think it would be more interesting and consistent if it followed the pattern that we had until now#the 'x got/wants to be transported into y universe and now everybody has to face Consequences' one from over half of their movies now#rather than entering the third act and only hint of his existence in-universe is post-credits with spaceship of his comics enemies#not even his own#and (also post-credits) hinting the potential need to defend their universe from other universes#like#the idea they poked the bounds of multiverse so much that this dude trying do this again made a hole so big they started to mesh together#and now theres hundreds of heroes and villains that didnt exist here before and everyone has to deal with it when somone from the outside#tries to use it to their benefit on a multiverse scale#would be such good explanation for all the x-men or fantastic 4 to appear in the future imo
