#but theres so much to explore

[aroaceleovaldez]

Nico referring to his mom as "Mama" implies he most likely at least used to refer to Hades as "Papa" and i 100% headcanon he still does but mostly in the manner of him having the entire Underworld wrapped around his finger for being the baby of the family

something about the project shadow short film portraying pre ark incident shadow as this wide-eyed, playful child is so delightfully tragic knowing what becomes of him later on. theres so much wonder and vulnerability about him compared to the shadow we are more familiar with that its almost uncanny, and seeing this snapshot into his life before it was torn to shreds makes his character even more compelling. sonic 3 dont let us downnnn

It's my right to tell myself I can do just a little animation just for fun just for really quick to do some action and then spend 3 days straight on it

Just came across this bit of party banter in BG3 and like damn its really interesting in terms of Wyll's character, but just not explored at all beyond this (that I'm aware of). This triggers when you're outside of the (thieves) Guild Hall

Wyll: Odd - I'd expect a Flaming Fist or four to be stationed nearby. Jaheira: They stick to sunnier streets. Heavens forbid they disrupt any of that Guild business they're so well-paid to ignore, hm? Wyll: The Fist aren't what they used to be. Jaheira: I grieve to tell you, Wyll, they never were.

His father, who he holds in such high regard, was the head of a flaming fist. And he's definitely very idealistic about the whole thing, and would have been really interesting to see that explored further...

do you ever think of an au on a whim and become obsessed with it

yeah so guess who is writing an extremely super long fic about childhood trauma, the consequences of time travel, confronting God, and slowburn ArVolo?

Akihiko becoming a cop is something that simply doesn’t happen in the coma route cuz Shinji would see that shit and be like Aki what the actual hell is wrong with you

[crimeronan]

one big thing about polyshipping for me is, like. you know how some people will have their eyes opened to homoerotic relationships in media bc they'll realize, "wait, if these people were two different genders, i'd 100% assume they're into each other. i have a double standard that i never noticed"?

there's a polyamorous equivalent in certain media that's basically just. "if you didn't assume this character is monogamous, you would 100% believe they have crushes on & are dating all of their friends." OR, "if this character wasn't dating somebody else already, you would 100% interpret this new friendship of theirs as a crush/budding romance."

usually the creators of the media aren't thinking about polyamory when they make it! usually the creators of the media are thinking "i want this character's friends to be as important to them as their romantic partners, we don't get enough of that in media," which is great and true and also EXACTLY WHY IT WORKS AS A POLY NARRATIVE. people will be like you don't Have to polyship why can't you just let platonic relationships be important ugh 🙄 & i'm like i did my years in the "why can't two men just be friends why does everything have to be gay 🙄" trenches. you're not doing this to me. we're not doing it about polyshipping. we're skipping over that whole discourse cutscene because i am Too Tired For It. don't even start

sometimes characters are so full of love and affection and joy for so many people that i start gnawing off my hands about how polyamory isn't normalized. because i'll watch/read certain media and i'll be like. listen. this is a polycule. i know you don't know this because your creators don't know this and that is totally okay but you are a Wildly polyamorous person who's ambiguously trapped in the 2000s/2010s with Big Monogamy psyops eating your brain. please let me free you. please i can give you Everything .

PLEASE KISS YOUR FRIENDS

So me and my bestie began our annual rewatch of MCD and after several hours of discussion (and throwing pillows at each other) we concluded my previous redesign for Zenix didn't match what we thought his character was anymore so after an hour or two of sketching we concluded with this:

(Third image is my bestie @jvicybadvssy's sketch!) I am literally obsessed with him to an unnormal degree he is literal my bestie my soulmate my little guy forever I need to pick apart his brain like a surgeon !!!!! We wanted to go for something young but clearly tired and aged. He has the physique of a teenager but the mind of a bitter adult oouhh Zenix !! ZENIX!!! (Old design below for reference):

[jerreeeeeee]

i don’t know if i’m ever gonna write the fic but i’ve been thinking abt like. the eternal stockade. the implications. lup, a lich who was trapped in a dark featureless cell for a decade completely isolated with nothing to keep her sanity but her own mind. she has to put people in the eternal stockade. how many liches does she see herself in. how many liches started out just like her. how many liches are truly too far gone. and the only liches we ever see other than her and barry are edward and lydia. they’re certainly evil, but mad? they seem pretty sane. they’re not, like, tattered echoes of souls, they’re definitely still people. even as much of a grudge as lup surely has against them, wouldn’t they remind her incredibly strongly of herself? do they deserve to be trapped just like she was? for eternity? isn’t eternity what turned john to existential despair in the first place?

Will Solace after anything traumatic happens to him.

Will tells Persephone that he doesn't have any darkness in him yet he's been through so much like being in two wars; witnessing multiple of his siblings die; having to heal Apollo as a mortal; and countless other traumatic things that have happened to him. I feel like the only way he can think he doesn't have darkness is if he repressed all the trauma.

i am in dire need of a good angsty kbms fic

like give me some of that lifespan difference stuff with a bit of a "fear of having to watch your loved one die"

give me some of kabru being there for mithrun the whole time while he's healing and the end parallel being mithrun taking care of kabru when he grows old

give me some of "mithrun was kabru's whole life while kabru was just a chapter in mithrun's"

give me mithrun never getting over kabru, even when he reclaimed his desires and found a way to live and enjoy life, he never forgets or gets over the person who enabled him to do so

i want mithrun to grow soo sentimental and sappy that it scares the rest of the canaries bc why does the captain care that a short lived race is... short lived...??

because the rest of them haven't had kabru smile at them while making them soup okay

i am going to say something that is . well i don't think it's controversial in that i don't think it has been said enough to cause controversy to begin with but skjdfhjds listen. hear me out

tim/ber/kon <<<<<<<<< timiveskon

on the one hand you have an uphill battle to convince me why these characters would even give a shit about each other (plus i mean megfitz massacred their characterizations and thats a whole extra mess) and generally it just reads to me as just treating kon as tim's spare love interest uwu without any care about his character.

but on the OTHER HAND.... timiveskon? chefs kiss. kon and ives are instantly bonding over nerdisms. they are both standing on the table and yelling about the rereleased edition of return of the jedi and kon is going on about how he has the original literally downloaded into his brain and ives thinks that's the sexiest thing he's ever heard and tim is just sitting there consumed by lust while they both yell about greedo. it practically writes itself. come on

thoughts on nezarec .....

Greetings!!! I need him to keep his freaky hand feet away from me, I am so disturbed by them☺️!!!

But thank you for the message!!

To be completely honest, I think about Nezarec 24/7 just because of how intriguing the concept of his character is! Not only do I find his design to be very interesting and eye catching (I’m free tonight Nezarec), I’m forever in a perpetual state of hunger for lore about him!

You‘re telling me the Final God of Pain is a disciple of an entity who wishes to end all pain because he wants the „fullest gamut of existence“? How did he even get into the Witness‘ clutches and how did it justify having such a sadist as a disciple? What was the relationship between the two like?

He‘s from an unknown species, but can never truly die and was remade by the Witness‘ hands? Tell me more!! How does he possess such powers?!

I am so starved for Nezarec lore and I cannot WAIT to receive more once we start dealing with Misraaks‘ situation, hopefully getting his origins like we did Rhulk. I completely understand that he was not the main focus in Lightfall, but I’m climbing my walls at the fact that Bungie would release such a long awaited and theorized character just for us to have to wait so long for a follow up!!

Bungie drop more Collapse lore that focuses on Nezarec being killed and the Witness losing the Veil and my life is yours, I’m so hungry.

As for his personality, what a guy!!! I have a plethora of headcanons about him, but I like to imagine just how far his tendency to be a sadistic nuisance can go! I make him torture the Witness‘ patience in my head as karma for all it has done and I often wonder if he has an underlying philosophy to his actions! Maybe his love of pain and mastery of nightmares is related to the species he comes from, who knows!

Overall, freaky guy who should be even freakier and is in dire need of more lore! I love you Nezarec, stay freaky, and never improve as a person because you are so funny as is!

Also a little headcanon drop, I think Nez would be very fond of goats as I imagine he finds their horns to be charming (like his) and he often gets them as sacrifices from his human acolytes! In my head, he has a pet goat he treats as his baby (much to the dismay of the Witness who finds his sentimentality towards the thing frivolous)! I love making that guy do silly things.

Love the glasses and gold chain by the way.
