Shhh he's pining

[casually-eat-my-soul]

You’d know what be really fucking funny, okay so stick with me but you all know that general idea that stiles has a spark and his spark works on his belief / willpower yes? Yes? Good

Now imagine the saying of “kissing it better” + plus stiles spark.

It’s starts with his mother — whom stiles claimed was magic, but everyone truly believes that their mother is magic. Stiles doesn’t really take it super seriously until after Scott gets bitten and deaton calls stiles a spark — but that’s besides the point.

Anytime stiles got hurt via bump, bruises and cuts, as any rambunctious child would - his mother would help him dry his tears and clean the wound before “kissing it better”.

So stiles just grows up assuming that kissing a wound will make it heal faster. And for all intents and purposes it does, unbeknownst to him because of his and his mother’s magic. But he doesn’t really think to much about it because he’s 1. Not around a lot of injuries and 2. not going around kissing people to help heal them.

Well until Derek fucking hale drops half dead in front of his jeep from a gunshot.

Derek doesn’t know enough about humans to argue with stiles, but he’s still not a hundred percent sure. Especially after he got kissed by him and it healed a gunshot??? That was poisoned with wolfsbane??? He gets ever more confused after he overhears a mother in the grocery store consoling her child by telling them that mom will “kiss it better”.

Peter calls Derek an idiot but never actually confirms or denies anything. Scott isn’t any help because he grew up around stiles and just acclimated to it over time. Sheriff Stilinski just sips his coffee in silence.

honestly thank GOD danny does not have his powers available to him in WTNS because if he used them as Nightingale he would be terrorizing Gotham's nightlife with them. like nothing would change he'd still be emergency backup (by his own choice) but his psychological torment just went up by 20 degrees.

creepy ghost children are already a pretty big staple in horror games and movies, tons of scary games where the antagonist is a scary dead child. well!!! now that scary dead child is Nightingale! and you have his Bat! It's like I always say: 'nightingales should be heard and not seen'

(as reference to the fact that according to the british museum, nightingales are elusive and private creatures and tend to be heard more than they are seen)

imagine being a goon that successfully trapped the Bat and then some indeterminable minutes later you hear a gentle rapping at the window like a branch tapping the glass and you turn and there's just two glowing green eyes in the window. The eyes are shorter than you, you blink or yell or cry out and then suddenly the small shadowy figure is gone.

you hear a nearby window creak and groan, you turn and a window nearby is propped open just a sliver. its not the window you saw the eyes from, the sliver is too small for any human to come in. there are footsteps, soft and teeny, circling around you. you keep seeing a small figure darting around through the reflections of the window. the lights are flickering, something is whooshing up above you.

imagine seeing a black silhouette with only green eyes climbing in from the window -- except, you only see it in the reflection of a window and when you look behind you, where the figure should reliably be coming in from, there is nothing there. the window isn't even open. or worse, maybe it is. but just a crack.

Danny isn't there to dawdle, but in the time its going to take for him to release/recover his Bat, he is going to make it your problem. and your fresh new night terror and ten years paid therapy!

"Episode 4 made me hate Ragatha"

...how? Because she called Gangle annoying when she has her happy mask?

Like, first of all she was drugged on the "stupid sauce". I know there's the argument that it basically had Ragatha spill her unfiltered thoughts about other people (such as not just Gangle but also Zooble and (deservedly) Jax), but if she hadn't been under the sauce's influence, her usual friendly and polite facade would've been intact the whole episode and not said those things.

I believe what Jax said was far worse in comparison (which is of course, typical Jax behavior), saying he "liked better when she was sad", since in comparison to Happy!Gangle (who's more manic, more assertive, and kind of a control freak), Sad!Gangle is meek and sensitive and (in Jax's eyes) a doormat, someone who he can easily torment and take his frustrations with the world around him out on without them screwing him over in return. There's a reason why he enjoys picking on her the most out of the ensemble, and right now he's pissed that the shoe is now on the other foot.

Anyway back to Ragatha. Because secondly and more importantly—

GANGLE LEFT RAGATHA DROWNING HEAD FIRST IN A DEEP FRYER.

I know that it was Jax who threw her in (again, typical Jax behavior) but Gangle (as both Ragatha's friend and the manager) still could've helped her outta there, but instead she just jollily walks off while Ragatha is sinking deeper into the oil. (She doesn't die from it, of course, but we clearly see that she's screaming and flailing in pain.)

And you know what else? This isn't even the first time this sort of thing has happened.

The first episode of the series has Ragatha get flung around by an abstracted Kaufmo and starts glitching out as a result (which, like the deep fryer, seems just as painful if not worse.) Pomni, after apologizing for not intervening promises Ragatha (who's a bit more nonchalant that any usual person would be in that position) that she'll go find Caine in order to help fix her.

Minutes later Pomni enters the endless exit doors, in an attempt to leave the circus, not thinking about what would happen to Ragatha.

And the thing is, Ragatha would've had every right to be mad at Pomni. And in Episode 2, it's more than implied that she is at least a little hurt by it.

Yet, despite that, Ragatha never takes it out on Pomni. She just brushes the moment off (or at least tries to) and spends most of the episode trying to befriend Pomni and even later vents to Kinger about her concerns about not being able to help Pomni feel welcome in her new environment. No matter how much physical or mental pain she endures, she keeps her polite and friendly facade. (Really, the only times we see her get pissed is whenever Jax is being an asshole.)

Which, begs the question: how many times has Ragatha gone through this sort of thing? How many times has she attempted to befriend others who later turn and walk away when she's suffering? Has this happened so many times to the point where in the first two episodes she brushes it off like it’s a normal occurrence for her?Judging by her reaction when Pomni thanks her for showing concern for her in episode 3, that could've been the first time someone has ever said that sort of thing to her.

For all we know, Ragatha's unfiltered remarks about others in Episode 4 was her being fed up with being the universe's ragdoll (literally and figuratively). And, since apparently Episode 5 is going to be Ragatha focused, she could be close to snapping (not in an abstraction way at least I hope not) and dropping her own "happy mask" completely.

Honestly I commend the amount of restraint Ragatha has on herself even while on the stupid sauce, because she could've said something far worse than just calling someone "annoying" and a "grouch" (Caine's swear censors aside)

My controversial opinion about Hob Gadling is that I believe he’s absolutely the sort of guy that “puts things behind him”, and tries to wash his hands clean of the things he feels icky about. This is implied pretty well in the show, with him blithely moving from soldiering and robbery to printing, from slaving to… whatever it was he was doing in the 19th century instead. That being said, this is not at all the same as actively trying to atone, or even making a concerted effort to be a better person, and I really wish fandom could tell the difference!

Look at these cats and their human versions series by Gerrard Gethings (gezgethings on Instagram):

Something I think is cute is that - y’know how Raph’s eyes are more on the yellow side?

Well, you know who also has slightly yellowed eyes? Donnie.

While Raph’s are more yellow, I think it’s cute that this is something that they share and I don’t see it pointed out too often?

It’s also something they both share with Draxum and Splinter’s current form (though again, these two have much more yellow sclera than the boys do.)

But yeah, I like that there’s this little detail that ties Raph and Donnie together, even if it’s small.

unusual face post where i don't bring up caname marriage. all of their gangstalia childhood photos have been shown! i've been very captivated by their answers

the question is virtually the same for each of them with different wordings. here lord and owner have a goal for their future. between a distinguished admirable grown up and a welcoming hotel runner. meanwhile hero and parrain's answer are like. so vague. [(i?) can be anything] and [(be?) me] makes me laugh. what are these kids even saying? such blatant different personality dynamics. i actually don't have any coherent words i just point at a difference and go wowwww coool(keys jingling in front of me). but really. how sweet!!! the different similar answers

Draw Sprig meeting Goofy (the Disney character)

And

Max (Goofy's son) meeting Hop Pop!

At first I read this as 'Hop Hop' and I was really confused because I thought it was that one rabbit from the movie 'Hop' (I don't think his name was hop hop but it was the first thing that came to my mind, sue me)

As a longtime follower and veterinary student, I just wanted to say I love your style and anatomy, especially when it comes to faces. It feels more… naturalistic (idk if that’s the right word?) than most anthro art I see, and it’s honestly incredible how expressive your art and characters are within that style. I’ve always adored Machete as a character and can’t wait to see him get even worse. ☺️

Thank you! I adore expressive characters, but I also want to keep their faces relatively animalistic and dog-proportioned, and sometimes it's difficult to find the balance between the two.

Super important question. Do you think Yakumo is ticklish?

wait hold on i have to look this up

Getting REAL sick and tired of how omori TikTok views sunny.

Like, they view any scene of him being emotionally vulnerable, affectionate, or even just making an expression outside of just being completely neutral as “mischaracterised”. He’s not some cool, stoic, unwavering badass, he is a traumatised teenager. Don’t cry whenever he dares to give his friend a hug or (god forbid) be SAD about something??? Isn’t like. Part of the point of his development about him allowing himself to break down the repressive walls he built when he shut himself in? And being able to rely on his real friends instead of imaginary versions? And isn’t the game like. Meant to SHOW that he still cares about them despite isolating himself?

It’s really stupid to get mad at a character like that showing emotion or affection personally, especially since he’s not used to expressing it properly after so long. But that’s just me

Moral Orel doesn't seem 100% like a show I'd feel seen in if you don't know me but then I remember the episode with the special ed kids and underneath the usual satire on extremist bible belt religion it reminds me WAY too much of how actual special ed departments treated me and other kids growing up.

Like the writers must HAVE BEEN THERE IN LIFE, man. I'd kill to sit down with Dino Stamatopoulos and find out what the fuck inspired him and the other writing staff that day.
