#dark reflection of being in smash bros

[lunardream908]

What are your thoughts on Pit and Dark Pit's connection? I think they are somewhat like brothers or twins haha. Greetings!

Thank you for the ask! I've always loved their dynamic, definitely twin vibe for sure. But, there's also more layers to that with how they're so connected. As Dark Pit put it, "No you no me. Two sides of the same coin."

Sure, at first, they just seem like the stereotypical "good vs. evil!!!" But there's so much more to them than that (and smash bros is so wrong for watering it down to that 💔)

The way their dynamic develops through the story is just soooo good! The way they start off loathing each other (Chapters 5-13), but Dark Pit doesn't entirely hate Pit, seen with him helping in Chapter 9, is perfect. Then, of course, after Pit gets left as a ring and Dark Pit is... un-himself... Dark Pit finally realized he shouldn't hate Pit. Sure, they stay bickering here and there, but what siblings don't? Especially with how emotionally charged Dark Pit's origins are, being no more than a dark clone who was supposed to be a rival to Pit.

Then, of course, Pit's sacrifice furthers this realization. The fact that Pit was so willing to save him, even at the expense of his own wings, truly melted away any more actual hatred. So, when Pit needed Dark Pit's help instead, he's immediately willing to return the favor. Sure, he acts like he doesn't really care about saving Pit, but Dark Pit likes to appear more independent. That, of course, coming from Pit's own inner desires to be independent, but I've already made a post about how they reflect the other's own repressed emotions, so I won't go into that.

Anyways, TLDR: I love how they're more than just good and evil twins and actually have complicated feelings toward each other.

[holograms-in-the-night]

You don't see Palutena as Pit's mother because you want to "sHiP tHeM" and you are probably a smash bros fan gooner.

I don't see her as a good mother figure to Pit since it's implied that she's the origin of Pit's insecurities, such as feeling worthless, insecure of his disability and he acknowledges (throught his dark reflection) that he doesn't get the respect he wishes he could have. Along with Palutena not knowing how to appreciate other beings due to her status as long lived deity.

We are not the same.

Some more owl house headcanons lets go-

Witch and demon eyes reflect like a cats when you take a flash picture and it scared the crap out of Luz the first time she saw it-

Amity has an hour long facecare routine she does every morning

King has tiny lil wings on his back that appear around the time of the final episodes ending

The collector and king are really close now, they love sleepovers and playing with kings toys

Luz and Hunter sometimes stay up really late playing video games together. Mostly mario kart or smash bros

Gus is asexual and gay, and he ended up getting together with Matt a year or two after the final episode

Vee is genderfluid! When in human form it's normally she/they and in basilisk form usually she/they/it which she likes them all

Hunter's hair can sometimes grow moss or flowers or mushrooms due to being made up from palistrom wood, which plants can grow on. Willow takes advantage of this a lot

As King's power grows as long as Jean-Luc is close it can be active and work, but once out of range it turns back off

Kikimora's palisman was a fuzzy dark blue spider. She regrets giving it to Belos after everything despite being such an asshole-

Servine's palisman is a dark brown kitten. Also, she deserved more appearances, as like a small supporting charecter just saying-

Thats all for now! Have anyone or anything you want me to do headcanons for? Don't be afraid to ask!

I’ve finally got the tags edited! And it wouldn’t have happened if the mass tag replacer didn’t exist to make my life easier.

I’ll probably make an updated version of the masterpost page soon to reflect these changes, since I’m unable to modify the currently existing page (thanks tumblr).

List of changes below the cut.

New tag order:

Relevent character tags, if any. If the number of character tags exceeds 10, "#too many to tag" is used. If it's relevant to all characters, "#all" is used.

"#assist trophies", if any are involved.

“#tier list” is used for any instances of the

"#smashy headcanons" or "#smashy quotes", depending on which one applies, if any.

"#super smash bros", if it applies.

"#headcanon", or "#incorrect quotes" plus the quote source, or "#not a headcanon" if neither apply.

"#world of light" and/or "#subspace emissary", if either apply. I have replaced "#world of light spoilers" with just "#world of light", and spoilers for World of Light will no longer be tagged going forward.

"#ask" + the asker's url, if it's an ask being answered.

"#mine" for headcanons, incorrect quotes, or other posts that are made by me (or that I contribute to in a significant way). "#submission" will be used for submissions.

"#not my thing" is a judgement-free tag I use for submissions that I don't mesh with for one reason or another (namely, if I disagree with a headcanon or incorrect quote). This tag being added is not a condemnation or criticism, it is primarily there to say "this isn't really my thing so I probably won't expand on it if prompted".

Blog updates will be tagged “#update”. Nintendo Direct commentary and similar news will be tagged “#nintendo direct” (news that doesn’t come from a Nintendo Direct will also use this tag for the sake of simplicity).

Commentary tags will be added at the end.

Okay, for the ask game let's go *throws darts at wall* 12, 29, 21, 1, and 17 for *more darts* Frenchfry, Dakari, and Zan

12. What animal would your OC have as their His Dark Materials daemon?

I do not know much about the scifi series with deity assigned fursona souls. So...

Frenchfry- Human? Something intelligent, large, social, and with good stamina.

Dakari- In universe? A draft breed wyvern or furnace breed cattle. Something big and sturdy with a steady and calm temperament. But also something that would absolutely fuck your shit if you do manage to piss it off.

Out of universe? I'm picturing something like a Harris hawk. Something social and intelligent and associated with wide open spaces. But also can fly.

Zan von Drake- Hmmm... something like a bittern or a vampire finch? Something not very large that can decently camouflage or hide. Something flighted to reflect how often he finds himself uprooted and on the move. Something predatory or parasitic.

29. Gun to their head, what is your OC’s fursona?

Frenchfry- Thinks the idea of a fursona is a silly human thing. But would have some kind of swan for a fursona. The whole big, powerful, majestic thing plus swimming is neat and not something pigeons really get to do.

Dakari- In universe? A bull firedrake or tarasque. Something big and powerful with a great defense that most animals think twice about messing with. Gentle giant vibes.

Out of universe? A bull bison for the same reason.

Zan von Drake- vampire bat. It drinks blood and is quite cute.

21. What kind of classic horror monster (vampire, werewolf, alien, etc.) would your OC be?

Frenchfry- Alien. Especially the strange unknowable super advanced types of aliens.

Dakari- Would be a monster hunter from a long line of monster hunters that turned away from the family calling b/c he's a horse girl and wants to raise horses. Otherwise a giant monster on the whole being big as shit for his entire life and living frequently surrounded by smaller people.

Zan von Drake- He's submitted to his fate of being a vampire but he sees the appeal of the Creature from the Black Lagoon types and Frankensteins.

Was your OC influenced or inspired by any particular fictional character(s) when you made them?

Frenchfry- On a mix of City Face from Gunnerkrigg Court and the general idea of cute mascots for magical girl teams.

Dakari- Not to my knowledge. But is made in the same mold of the gigantic hot dude archetype that I usually put in my works.

Zan von Drake- Yes. He was inspired by a mix of Hotstreak from Static Shock, Rocco one of the half-vampire antagonists from the Vampire Kisses: Blood Relatives books, and the werebat boyfriend from the My Boyfriend is a Monster comic books.

17. Who would your OC main in Super Smash Bros?

I know nothing about Super Smash Bros. I have not played this game. I have been at social gatherings where it was being played by people but I know jack shit about it.

Frenchfry- would try using every nonhuman character at least once. Would like Yoshi best.

Dakari- Bowser. Kirby.

Zan von Drake- Pokemon Trainer. Mewtwo. Ness.

[VIBRATING IN MUSIC THEORY NERD] OH DO I!!!

A lot of Kirby fans will sympathize with me on this: I fucking love Green Greens as a leitmotif. (props to the creator below for making such an extensive compilation of its usage in final boss themes)

It's a song that's existed since the very first Kirby game, and was first composed by Jun Ishikawa. Then I believe it was Hirokazu Ando who went "hey what if we put this in a minor key and interlaced it here", around the same time Shinya Kumazaki went "hey what if we wove together a lot of this lore" and it fits perfectly.

Mind you, before this point, Green Greens was used in major keys, and has stayed pretty true to form. The most it got remixed was for a theme for The Great Cave Offensive, which most people now know as a Smash Bros track:

So to hear how much its usage varies from its original form, THIS, is absolutely crazy to think about.

And it's not even the only case. You also have Dedede's theme being remixed several times, then the Masked Dedede theme being an epic remix, and both themes being used in such different ways many times throughout the series. Gourmet Race, similarly, is used with such variety, and is probably one of the most recognizable Kirby songs. Then you got Meta Knight's themes: what I consider the original vs Meta Knight theme (which Morpho Knight's theme has some roots in) the other vs Meta Knight theme which is also tied to Dark Meta, the Onboard the Halberd themes, and the Meta Knight Defeated theme. The way these themes transform reflects Meta Knight's character arc INCREDIBLY well and someday I wanna do an analysis video on it. A lot of Kirby games also have their own individual leit motif(s) I could easily point out.

Hollow Knight has been talked about a bit, with both the main Hollow Knight leitmotif and The Pale King leitmotif used as the main musical threads. But you also have a few more subtle ones. First, these two songs share a melody:

And THESE TWO share a note pattern, which, maybe I'm over-analyzing, but given how they're basically opposites (the radiance seen in dreams and the Nightmare King), it would make PERFECT SENSE for this to be an intentional tie in:

Since it's very much a brainworm now (hehe) I should also talk about Baldur's Gate Threeeeee-

[THE POWER/DOWN BY THE RIVER LEITMOTIF BLASTS]

So what's interesting about this leitmotif is that it's kind of shared between these two? The Power is sort of the main motif, it's able to be played by bards/those with the performance feat, it's the theme for the credits, if you've played the game you know it well. What distinguishes it from Down By The River is what phrases it has before it. For example, this one starts with The Power leitmotif, then switches over to the Down By The River leitmotif at 1:27.

I Want To Live is also used as a leitmotif a few times, which, mwah, chef's kiss.

Also, did anyone notice that these are basically the same song, just structured differently?

Crazy.

I'm a huge huge HUGE rambler when it comes to music, and leitmotifs in particular are my jam. So, I'm honoured you tagged me for this, because you hit the nail right on the head, I love this topic.

leitmotifs never get old to me like holy shit dude there’s this melody that corresponds to this one guy and if you hear the melody it means the guy is there. holy shit. and sometimes it refers to ideas too not just guys. has anyone heard about this

Here’s a Super Smash Bros. Lawl moveset for Albert Wesker from the Resident Evil series:

Reveal Trailer:

The trailer opens with a scene of Chris Redfield battling enemies on a dark, rainy battlefield. Just as he seems to gain the upper hand, everything suddenly goes quiet. A shadowy figure steps forward, his glowing red eyes piercing through the darkness. The screen flashes: "Wesker Unleashes the Virus!" followed by a montage of Wesker dominating his enemies with superhuman speed and power.

---

Moveset:

Albert Wesker’s moveset revolves around his superior agility, strength, and the viral powers he gains from the Uroboros virus, giving him enhanced combat skills and the ability to unleash devastating attacks.

Neutral B (Samurai Edge):

Description: Wesker pulls out his iconic Samurai Edge handgun and fires a precise, rapid shot. The bullets are fast but deal moderate damage. Holding the button allows Wesker to aim slightly in different directions, offering a bit of range control.

Inspiration: This attack is based on Wesker’s proficiency with firearms in Resident Evil, particularly his usage of the custom Samurai Edge.

Side B (Phantom Dash):

Description: Wesker dashes forward at blinding speed, becoming nearly invisible for a split second. This dash can be used to close the gap on enemies or to dodge incoming attacks. If he collides with an opponent during the dash, he delivers a powerful, quick punch that launches the enemy.

Inspiration: This move represents Wesker’s inhuman speed and agility, as seen during boss fights in Resident Evil 5 where he effortlessly dodges bullets.

Down B (Uroboros Tentacle):

Description: Wesker summons the Uroboros virus in the form of black, writhing tentacles that strike upward from the ground. The tentacles have a decent range and can hit multiple opponents. This move can also be used for edge guarding as the tentacles rise up from the ledge.

Inspiration: Draws from the Uroboros mutation Wesker controls, where his body starts mutating to use the virus as a weapon.

Up B (Superhuman Leap):

Description: Wesker leaps high into the air with a burst of speed and strength, leaving behind a shadowy trail. He can perform a follow-up dive kick by pressing the attack button, dealing massive damage upon impact.

Inspiration: Reflects Wesker’s ability to perform incredible, high-speed acrobatics and jump tremendous distances, as seen in several cutscenes from the Resident Evil series.

Final Smash (Uroboros Form):

Description: Wesker injects himself with the Uroboros virus, transforming into a monstrous, enhanced version of himself. He charges forward, striking all opponents in his path with overwhelming strength and Uroboros tentacles. The final blow consists of Wesker summoning a massive tentacle that crashes down on the opponents, causing an explosive finish.

Inspiration: This is based on Wesker’s final boss fight in Resident Evil 5, where he fully embraces the Uroboros virus, turning into a monstrous being of immense power.

---

Taunts:

Up Taunt: Wesker adjusts his sunglasses and says, “You can’t possibly keep up with me.”

Side Taunt: He performs a quick knife twirl before vanishing momentarily and reappearing in place.

Down Taunt: Wesker injects himself with a vial of virus, briefly glowing with power as he smirks.

---

Victory Poses:

1. Victory Pose 1: Wesker stands over his defeated opponents, adjusts his sunglasses, and says, “A god can’t be defeated by mere mortals.”

2. Victory Pose 2: He teleports around the screen, effortlessly dodging imaginary attacks before standing still, arms crossed, saying, “Pitiful.”

3. Victory Pose 3: Wesker steps out of the shadows, his eyes glowing red as he delivers a chilling laugh, muttering, “There’s no escape from the inevitable.”

Defeat Pose:

Defeat Pose: Wesker removes his sunglasses and, with a cold expression, turns his back to the camera in frustration.

Creating a moveset for Sindel from Mortal Kombat as a character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate:

### Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Trailer

#### Trailer

Something I love about the Mario movie is how is basically squashed any kind of ideas of Luigi being jealous of Mario from the get go that fans have come up/theorized throughout the years.

The whole “Luigi is jealous and tired of living in Mario’s shadow” has no leg to stand on when it comes to this movie.

In fact, Luigi is actively the one singing praises towards Mario, he knows that his brother dreams big and has a big heart, he knows his brother is amazing and he loves him for that.

Does he have low self esteem? Absolutely. But there is absolutely not a single bit of jealousy/envy towards Mario, Luigi loves and adores him far too much to ever be jealous and angry at Mario, someone who means the absolute world to him.

Oh don't you get me started.

Too late, I’ve gotten started. YOU ARE SO RIGHT. The movie did to theories that Luigi's “bitter and jealous” what it did to theories that Mario’s an antisocial asshat.

There are two things I can point to that are to blame for the theories that Luigi is bitter and jealous:

The description of his Negative Zone final smash from Super Smash Bros. Brawl:

"Luigi's final smash. As exotic music plays, he performs a dance befitting a sorcerous incantation. A barrier envelopes him, negatively impacting all in his area. Random effects include getting launched, sleeping, moving in slow motion, tripping, fainting, and losing attack power. This technique is a reflection of the dark side he embraced in his brother's shadow."

2. His characterization in Paper Mario

But there’s like… almost 40 years of games to glean from. You can literally pick and choose whatever you want to form any sort of theory (like a certain internet man did when arguing that Mario is an animal abusing sociopath). But 99% of the games show about as much evidence that Luigi is bitter as they do that Mario is a bad person– none at all. Quite the opposite, in fact.

As for Paper Mario, it's the only time Luigi is directly characterized as envious... NOT jealous. He still loves his brother and sees him as worthy of the praise he gets, but he feels bad being stuck at home, and desperately wants to be brought along for the adventure– to have his opportunity in the limelight. But Paper Mario is kind of its own thing, established to be a separate universe from the mainline Mario games. In the Super Mario Brothers RPGs– which delve deeper into the bros character while remaining more aligned with the classic "canon"– the dynamic is quite the opposite! Mario dives headfirst into danger while Luigi desperately avoids it unless there is no other choice. In Super Mario Brothers Superstar Saga he tries his darndest to not be taken along for the adventure, confident that his brother can handle the task.

But one consistent across the Mario games is Luigi being the underdog of all underdogs; unlucky and clumsy, the butt of the joke, and constantly undermined. Naturally this causes people to get defensive of him– get angry for him, and project their feelings onto the character himself.

But tHEN WE HAVE THE MOVIE!!!!

Nintendo is given a chance to craft Mario and Luigi into fully fleshed-out characters with motivations and backstories, not just plucky videogame personalities for people to project themselves into, and boy oh BOY did they knock it out of the park.

While Mario is still a headstrong hero with a never-say-die attitude and a heart of gold, everything he does is for his brother. Mario has insecurities about feeling small and wants to prove himself to his father, but in the end his love for Luigi is his main motivator. Mario can handle being threatened, made fun of, and told he’s crazy, but if you want to truly hurt him, tell him his actions are hurting his brother. Try hurting Luigi directly, and Mario will tear you a new one.

In return, everything Luigi does is for Mario! Lu’s not the willful ball of determination and gusto that his brother is– he has always been nervous, softhearted, and sensitive, which is why he lets his brother lead the way. Luigi’s not living in Mario’s shadow, he’s thriving off of his confidence! He recognizes Mario as his best friend and greatest source of strength, and will follow him absolutely anywhere.

There is no sense of Mario being treated like the beloved star of the show while Luigi gets the short end of the stick. They are both downtrodden, both learning, and both dependent on each other. It's not just Super Mario, it's the Super Mario Brothers, who equally inspire each other to be the best version of themselves.

ROUND ONE

Mimikyu

Pit: Aww, it's Mimikyu! Palutena: That's right! Number 778 in the Pokédex, this Ghost and Fairy type is only pretending to be a Pikachu so it can be liked. Viridi: What on earth for? The thing's imitation is too- ugh, creepy, to possibly be convincing! Pit: Hey! I think it's doing a great job! And its earnest desire to be loved only makes me love its disguise more! You can do it, Mimikyu! Palutena: Mimikyu's attempt to disguise itself as Pikachu even extends to its moves - however, it has its own twists on them. Pit, do you remember Pikachu's Thunder? Mimikyu's Dark Pulse has the same look, but since it's not being brought down from above, it's faster to use. And watch out for when Mimikyu's disguise breaks! It become faster to attack when you do.

Alan

Pit: Did this guy seriously shine a flashlight in my eyes?! Viridi: You'd think a servant of the Goddess of Light would be more resistant to that sort of thing. Palutena: Pit, that's Alan Wake! He's a novelist who just released that book I told you to get - "Departure", remember? Viridi: You trusted the one who can't read to go book shopping for you? Pit: Hey, I like book shopping! Sometimes they have pictures. Palutena: It would appear that Alan Wake's light-based attacks can rend shields, so shielding isn't exactly a good idea against him. That includes your orbitars, Pit. Pit: Aw, what?! Then what CAN I do?! Viridi: Quick! Can't your Upperdash Arm reflect those flash bangs? Use THAT to stun Alan and take him down! He may be famous, but he's still a human! Palutena: Oh, and ask for an autograph while you're at it! Viridi: Really?

night time activities with hq boys

- the little things and shenanigans that they like to do with their s/o once the world has quieted down and people have gone to sleep zzz

wc: 1.9k words, fluff, sfw. 

characters: kageyama, hinata, yamaguchi, oikawa, iwaizumi, bokuto, kuroo, ushijima, semi, atsumu!

a/n: so this was intended to be a mini hc list but i got carried away in my feels and just wrote mini scenarios for my top ten hq boys. this is self-indulgent ngl mom i love them :’) 

--

💌 he always gets asked what's the secret to his clear and smooth skin. well, the answer is you. since the two of you started living together, you've gotten kageyama on board in your nightly skincare routine. he doesn't mind it even if tsukishima and hinata tease him endlessly, something about the 'king of the court' being soft for you. as soon as he comes out from the shower, he positions himself on the edge of the bed, letting you stand between his legs as you wipe his face with a toner, followed by a moisturizer. then you'll get a sheet of face mask and put it on carefully. 'thank you, y/n,' he'd always say with a smile before pulling you to his chest, laughter echoing around the room, as you both fall on the bed.

💌 you thought your relationship with hinata wouldn't survive the long distance. but despite the thousand miles separating the both of you and the difference in timezones, he made sure to always wish you sweet dreams and good night. sometimes, he would call you in the middle of practice or while he's sitting in the train during commute. if he's lucky to have a free day, he'd call you while he's also in bed and you guys would talk non-stop, exchanging stories, saying your i love yous and i miss yous. and when you're the first one to snooze, he'd chuckle in the background, taking a few screenshots of your adorable sleeping face before saying goodnight and ending the call with a smile.

💌 one of the things that made yamaguchi fall in love with you was your love for studio ghibli films. when the topic was brought up among your friend group, he instantly whipped his head to where you were and before he knew it, his feet were bringing him to you. you were already friends so you didn't mind him joining the conversation, he was mesmerized with how you passionately talked about your love for howl's moving castle or how you talked about the nostalgic soundtrack of from up on poppy hill. the rest was history and now, five years into the relationship, watching studio ghibli films every friday night has become a tradition to both of you. oftentimes, you would find yourselves cuddled on the bed, legs entangled and arms wrapped around one another. spirited away was playing on the laptop, the light illuminates the dark room as the both of you slowly drifted to sleep. it was in moments like these that you felt overwhelmed and satisfied with the security and comfort of being with him.

💌 oikawa was spontaneous - it kept you on your toes, always wondering what kind of surprise or gimmick he has prepared for you. the day before a big presentation, you were nervous and you made sure he knew it by texting him non-stop, sending him memes that expressed what you couldn't say in words. he didn't want to say you were overreacting in fear of getting on your bad side, but he has no doubt that after spending weeks in preparation that you can ace your presentation. still, he wanted to be of help to you and he knew just how to lift your mood up. it was 2:15 am when you were woken up by the incessant ringing of your phone. you pick it up, ready to shout at whoever was on the other side when you heard his laugh, 'grab your jacket, we're getting mcdonalds.' you didn't need to be told twice, almost running down the stairs so you can get your fix of your fave happy meal. after getting takeout, he drove you to a park and laid out a blanket. you sat and enjoyed your food in peace before he mentioned something about the stars shining bright tonight, turning to you with the biggest grin on his face, 'but i have the brightest star in the world right now by my side.'

💌 iwaizumi could never see what it was about video games that you loved so much. though after dating you since high school, he's been used to being ignored, put on voicemail, and being the second priority whenever you had a console in hand. but one late night, he got curious about the new title you were playing, super smash bros, and figured he could give it a try. you were surprised when he suddenly sat on the couch and scooted closer to make room for himself. he took your extra controller and asked to play for one round. little did he know that one game became two, which became three until the both of you couldn't keep track anymore as he kept losing and asking for a rematch. when you closed the game, the sun was slowly peeking over the clouds. you kissed him on the cheek before retreating to bed 'thanks for playing with me, iwa. that was one of the best games i've had.' he wouldn't admit it but he enjoyed it too, and he was thankful that he had the following day off or he'd be nursing an insane headache at work due to lack of sleep.

💌 people thrived off of the contagious energy that bokuto radiated, and you were no stranger to that. you were all too familiar with the intoxicating feeling that one can get by being around him. being with him, living with him, there were no dull days or quiet evenings. there would be nights that he'd still be high on the adrenaline that came from winning their game, that before sleeping, bokuto would drag you up your feet and get you singing your favorite songs. he didn't need a mic, his loud voice was enough and it reverberated around the room. you'd both be laughing, stumbling over the lyrics as you danced to a silent beat. jumping up and down, you're worried that the neighbors might report you to the guards in the apartment lobby. but none of it would soon matter as he'd suddenly collapse on the bed, pulling you with him. you fall to his chest and you hear the erratic beating of his heart. he lifts your chin up to look at him and he presses a chaste kiss on your lips, 'thank you for being with me all this time.'

💌 due to the nature of his job, you'd been used to kuroo returning home almost midnight due to doing overtime. often, he'd return to a dark apartment as you'd already be tucked in bed, drifting off to a deep sleep. but tonight was different. it was 11:45 pm and when kuroo turned the knob and swung the door open, he was surprised to see you sprawled out on the floor of the living room. a mess of polaroid photos, printed stickers, papers, and craft items were beside. you greeted him with a smile, he returned it with one of his own and question fell on his lips, 'what are you doing here?' he swears he melted on the spot when you said you were making a scrapbook of your moments and milestones together. something about the idea of you collating everything - from when you went on your first date, your first kiss, your first out-of-town trip - had the butterflies in his stomach go crazy. he loosens his tie and undos the first two buttons of his shirt before joining you on the floor, looking forward to staying up all night reminiscing your memories together.

💌 as soon as you and ushijima got home from date night, he'd head straight to the kitchen to brew your favorite cup of tea while you went ahead to wash up and prepare for bed. he'd bring two cups to the room, placing yours on vanity table and his on the nightstand. when you came out of the shower, you'd go straight to your vanity to do your evening skincare, noticing the tea he had prepared and taking a sip before putting on moisturizer. ushijima would take his place behind your back, a hand resting on your shoulder as the other leaned to get your brush. he'd gently comb your hair, dragging the brush slowly over your tresses. 'is this okay? it doesn't hurt?' you'd look at his reflection in the mirror, catching his eyes and you reassure him that it's fine. silence envelopes the two of you, but it's not the awkward kind. it's the one that puts you at ease, erasing your worries as he continues his action. when he finishes, he returns the brush on its spot, turning you around to give you a kiss, 'i love you.'

💌 semi notices something was wrong when you arrived home all quiet. usually, you'd run to where he was - often in the kitchen where he was cooking food or in his mini studio where he composed songs - but tonight, you made a beeline to your shared bedroom. he follows and observes as you throw your bag on the floor before falling face first on the bed. he swears he heard you take a big sigh and takes that as his cue to prepare a warm bath for you. semi makes sure that the water temperature is just how you like it, pouring your favorite bubble soap and lighting up your favorite scented candles all over the room. when he's done, he makes his way over to you, 'come on, sweetheart. i readied a bubble bath for you.' your ears perk up hearing his words and you get up, letting him take your hand as he brought you to the bathroom. he helps you take off your clothes and assists as you sit in the tub. and just when he was about to make his leave, you grab his hand, 'i'd be a lot more comforted if you were here with me.' knowing what you meant, he nods, ridding himself of his clothes before joining and hugging you from behind. 'you're okay now, i got you.'

💌 the past few days have been unkind to you and atsumu. with him being busy with extended training and you being occupied with an insane amount of workload that came with your promotion, you didn't really have enough time to spend awake at home. and atsumu misses you and your voice. it wasn't enough for him just to cuddle up to you when sleeping as he'd always feel bad whenever he had to leave in the morning. so despite knowing that you'd get mad for getting up before the sun has risen, he shook you lightly, 'hey, wake up, i want to show you something.' you opened your eyes slowly, looking for the source of disruption of your sleep, but when you realized it was atsumu, you simply groaned before raising your arms in request from him to carry you. he complies, carrying you bridal style to the car and he speeds off to a nearby park hill. when he alerts you that you have arrived at the destination, you rub sleep off your eyes and come out of the car just in time to see the sun rising over the horizon. the scene unveiling right in front of the both of you was so beautiful that you were left speechless. atsumu hugs you from behind, his chin resting on your shoulder and exhales, 'i missed you so much. let's take our time here, okay?' eventually, the two of you reported sick for work/practice but it was worth it.

I know smash bros tends to oversimplify it’s characters to fit that game better, but I am a little bummed out that so many people only know kid Icarus because of smash bros, so they assume Pit is the classic Shonen protagonist and that Dark pit is just the evil edgy clone when they are so much more and this is shown through their characters designs.

Like you said Dark pit has a very pretty color palette with his teal wings which matches his scarf and it makes for such a nice character design (and it’s a great subversion for the “dark” color schemes that we often see with this type of characters)

In a way his designs also reflects part of his personality, we assume he is going to be just an evil counterpart for Pit and we as the player controlling Pit seek to hunt Dark pit down under Palutena’s orders, but later he is shown to care about Pit and Palutena and I am pretty convinced that he in a way is Pit, just a side Pit he tends to hide (but that’s another topic from another day).

I just think it’s a shame people often tend to oversimplify and misinterpreted their characters (Pit and Dark Pit) so much when in reality they are very charming and interesting and this is surprisingly shown on their color palette, Dark pit is composed of jewel tones not dark tones and although his character has a spunk to him, he is shown to care about Pit and Palutena and even goes out of his way to help them.

He also smiled when Pit reunites with Palutena

(fun tip: I don’t think the phrase of “two sides of the same coin” was ever said on the jp version so it’s very likely that the reason Dark pit decided to help Pit and Palutenea is because he cared about them and wanted to help them out of his free will!)

the fact that tumblr now allows people to send whole-ass text posts complete with photos in through the ask box is absolutely astounding. increasing the character limit is one thing but come on.

anyway BUDDY i could talk Forever about how dark pit reflects on pit's character. obviously he's his own character who is wonderful and i love so very much but also the fact that by his mere existence he adds implied Depth to pit just by being made from the mirror of Truth. not the mirror of Darkness or Shadows or whatever other edgy thing they could've gone with, the mirror of truth.

and he says it himself! as does pandora! everything that dp is when he's created comes from pit himself, meaning that to some degree pit feels exactly how dp behaves, the only difference being that dp is just those feelings of frustration and rebellion, amplified and bundled into an entire boy.

despite what the characters say i don't buy the idea that he's disloyal to the underworld bc the mirror broke, (tho i do headcanon that that's why he looks so different; his colors got all glitched up while generating a physical form,) he's just Like That because deep down that's what pit wants to be. he loves palutena and he'd never abandon her but you cannot convince me he's never fantasized about suddenly gaining his own power of flight and just taking off, never to be pranked or made fun of or tossed around or fed to hewdraw or treated like an intern ever again.

so you put him in front of the mirror of truth, and the mirror takes a good hard look at all this repressed teenage rebellion and says "yeah i can make a boy out of that" and it makes a boy out of that, and then that boy is the best character in the game, and also does not have black wings because he's not an inversion he's just had a few sliders adjusted.

it kinda reminds me of how there's certain astronomical bodies we know exist because of how they affect the things around them, even though we've never seen the actual thing that's there. like dark matter, which now that i think about it is an awfully appropriate thing to bring up while rambling about dark pit, and i'm gonna stop here because that's Real far from the intended scope of this post. dark pit good, pit is granted extra depth because of the depth dark pit implies, haha funny hole joke, k thanks bye.

and also you can pry iridescent wings from my cold dead hands, go look at pictures of glossy starlings please i don't have long you have to look at them you have to look at birds
