#he is literally a serial killer

[waywardsunlight]

The Owl House is the journey of a neurodivergent girl dealing with grief and the guilt that society has placed on her, finding people who accept and understand her for who she is through exploring a fantasy world like the one in the book her dad left her before he died, and conversely, it’s a story about a child abuser getting wrecked because he wants the approval of a messed up, extinct society so much that he’d rather live in a fantasy where he won than try to understand somebody he loved.

Just wanted to draw Macaque. I feel like there is so much potential for some psychological horror with this guy being able to trap people within the shadows.

But seriously, imagine his lantern being similar to the Calabash or Li Jing's Pagoda, or perhaps a mix of both, and tormenting those trapped within with illusions of not their greatest fears but of how they fear dying.

It's like the Hundred-Eyed Demon's ability but far more painful in a sense. I think that'd be neat :D

Plus it might be cool to possibly be able to incorporate the eighteen levels of Hell into this as well since Macaque would have quite the connection to Diyu (through him probably being in there for a long time and I bet he had quite a bit of torture inflicted on him in the various hells as well, so that would have a huge impact on him).

Bruce was being watched. Again.

He didn’t know where it was coming from, and that was a problem at the moment. He was hosting another gala, intent on putting on the “Bruice Wayne” mask for the public. None of his children were attending, unfortunately, but everything was going okay so far.

Then he kept feeling a cool breeze on the back of his neck. His hairs stood on end, and he shivered randomly. Someone mentioned that he looked cold. But Bruce wasn’t cold. He was Batman! Batman is never bothered by something stupid like the temperature. It just felt like there were multiple pairs of eyes staring at him from all directions.

Bruce tried to catch whoever it was, but when he looked, there was no one there. He even made extra laps around the room, easily slipping between socialites and chatting his way through the crowd. He scanned the tables, checked the stairs, peeked outside, and even snuck at glance at the chandeliers for fuck’s sake! There was nothing. No cameras, no lingering eyes, nothing.

Bruce could feel his heartbeat quicken. There was something in the room. Something dangerous.

Eventually, the source of his anxiety came to him. The gala was small, being in the middle of the off-season for social events. It was a relatively quiet gathering. Still, Bruce flinched when someone tapped his shoulder from behind when he was making another waltz around the room. He turned, and was faced with a boy no older than 16, but no younger than 14. It was hard to tell his age. He wore an ill-fitted navy suit and scuffed dress shoes. His tie was no where to be seen, and the boy had a platter of finger foods balanced in one hand. He hadn’t heard anyone approach at all.

What made Bruce freeze, however, was the fact that the boy looked exactly like the portraits of the young Thomas Wayne that were hanging innocently in the Wayne family home. His crystal blue eyes seemed to glow in the overhead lights as they bore into Bruce. It felt like the boy could see his soul. The air was more chilled than it had been all night, and everything in Bruce’s mind was screaming DANGER!

“Y’know…” Bruce’s breath caught in his throat as the boy spoke. His midwestern accent was heavy, and the boy took a slow moment to polish off a baked feta bite before continuing. “You look like the kinda guy to have a secret basement. The bloody kind. Nice party, though!” With that, the boy disappeared back into the crowd, taking the cold air with him.

Bruce never got out a word.

Danny sees all the wandering souls and shades attached to Bruce Wayne, and comes to the obvious conclusion that the billionaire is a serial killer.

Well Yes! — although Reaper SK is much more aesthetically appealing imo.

Dabi has literally never done anything wrong in his whole life. Idk what u guys r talking about.

(Serial murder, Attempted familicide, Torture, Arson, Psychological abuse, Destruction of property, Kidnapping, Terrorism, Vandalism, Incrimination, Public endangerment, Conspiracy, Blackmail, Stalking)

He's so nice and sweet and would never ever do anything wrong.

Seeing someone worry that shipping lawlight would be PrObLeMaTiQuE™ because of the Age Gap™ will never not be hysterical because not only is Light already 18 by the time he and L meet in person but their Age Gap™ is, objectively, like the least toxic aspect of their relationship, canonically😂

dexter was made in the wrong decade. if it had been made the 2020s he would be everyone's favourite pathetic blood covered dilf. and in-universe true crime tiktok would have caught him before the show went off the rails bad

People gotta start understanding that a fictional character's actions do not have to be justified, because they're a fictional character.

A character does not have to be morally good to be compelling. A character does not have to be morally good for people to enjoy them. Sometimes characters are enjoyable and compelling because they aren't morally good. It is often reductive to gloss over a character's flaws and pitfalls, because that isn't the point. They aren't supposed to be perfect, and you pretending that they are shows a lack of comprehension.

"Character A should be allowed to do this because..." No they shouldn't. And that's okay.

"Character A is justified in this because..." No they aren't. And that's fine.

Understand nuance in the stories you enjoy. A character doesn't have to be in the right just because you like them. Sometimes people do fucked up shit, and you're taking away from that by pretending it's not fucked up. Let characters be morally grey; a lot of them are better that way.

[dennisboobs]

the funniest thing when considering the whole serial killer dennis angle is that he is the only member of the gang who has been legally cleared of murder.

[lowkeiloki]
