scary father with an even scarier daughter duo.

#& gaslight gatekeep ghostface ( ooc )#please y’all don’t know how important they are to me #sam looks so much like him #whether it is scream 1 era billy or scream requel era billy #they would eat as a ghostface duo #but billy is trying to be better and do better and he’s not going to let her repeat the cycle #he is trying to break the cycle #he wants her to be better than him he wants better for her

"The Exocannis Ressurection"

#been experiencing (seasonal) difficulties to feel satisfied with my art. especially if it's digital #i can't make fanart of other things i enjoy besides fnaf or listen to new music without feeling 'unknown' to it #everything is too much. new stuff becomes overwhelming and discouraging. people might not like it. (IT KEEPS HAPPENING RAGHHH))#so im breaking the cycle by trying something that i came up with months ago (AGAIN)#as some people might know. the character i drew here is Hunter. and he's my OC #he's from a story i created during the pandemic. it was originally called 'The Other Side'#i got obsessed and started making art. it truly felt like i was part of a huge community. when it was just me in my room #i feel like i said this before. but after Behind The Codes. this story is probably going to be the next thing i'll be working with #starbsart #original character

one of the things that fascinate me about thawne: yes, he CAN be normal with kids! surprisingly normal!

((not at all times, though. his mental illness still spills through and as usual he, in trying to manipulate or hurt others, spits out at them the exact stuff that would hurt him (or have in his childhood/barry's rejection interpretation) the most in the first place lmao))

but at the same time. his like second instinct when doing his bullshit is FUCK THEM (as) KIDS

(and, well. whatever this classifies as)

#whats wrong with him. seriously. he loves picking fights with literal children So Much #AND NONE OF THEM WITH WALLY ON THE MATTER OF BEING THE BIGGEST FLASH FAN. HOW DID THAT NEVER HAPPEN #about the middle page. honestly i DIDNT remember he is a Jerk in that way too until i checked his interactions with bart for this post #this man officially should not be allowed near children as a mentor.#just straight up drops ALL his insecurities on a poor kid in trying to make him feel ashamed. NO breaking the abuse cycle for this bad boy #the only thing he doesnt say is the direct 'you are a disappointment' altho the message is still the same 💀💀💀💀💀💀#AND I BET HES HELLA PROUD OF THAT. I MEAN CONSIDERING THIS FACT IG HE DOES TRY TO BE BETTER THAN HIS PARENTS. SOMEWHAT.#and omg he formulates his point like in problem based learning (leading the child to making the correct conclusion themselves)#im dying. professor to the fucking core.#and the way he feels the need to bring up flash facts in his appeal?? EO YOURE SO HOPELESS. THIS IS 100% HOW BART SAW HIM THROUGH #and god knows what he told thad promising to get him out of the speed force if he fought barry there and whether he was going to fulfill it #and do you even IMAGINE how FUCKED barry's mental condition would be growing up if thawne fulfilled his button threat #and i really REALLY wonder about the tornado twins and their relationship with 'uncle eobard' but that will be a separate post #he doesnt know any other way tho. and he might be actually mad at bart for not supporting his every action as The Flash #like. he tries to play family but the second they question he just goes WHATEVER. I DONT NEED IT. FLASH OF MY VISION RUNS ALONE #his problem is that he just wants attention. he doesnt see family/heroing for what 'its really about' or downsides that may come with them #everything is so idealized in his head. and the moment he faces reality with its complications the concept immediately gets antagonized.#and then he reconsiders and changes the conditions but fails each time never realizing the problem is his mindset and not everything else #black white at its finest yall #and man. RELATABLE.#also WHY is he standing LIKE A STATUE when appearing in front of bart????😭😭😭😭#poor museum rat has no idea what heroes in real life stand like #eobard thawne #professor zoom #reverse flash #the reverse flash #bart allen #the flash #dc

the thing about roman is that he literally tried it out. he tried out being a serious person who gets taken seriously and contributes something to the world, and it didn't work! he went in, he took a swing at it, but in the end he's nothing. he's bullshit. just like he always thought. and now he finally gets to go forward with the certainty that his best really isn't enough, and never will be, so he can stop worrying about whether he'll amount to anything, and just embrace the failure he's always been. the end.

#oh baby the cycle took you in and ATE you <3 <3 <3 #you are NEVER breaking free.#and now daddy isn't even here to kick him into a shape that might actually accomplish something #so he doesn't even have to try anymore #i AM bleeding at the mouth btw. it's terminal.#teehee #what a bleak little timeline we're in #succession

people who think clem surviving makes no sense are so funny. "they were literally foreshadowing her death the entire season" let me introduce you to the concept of a red herring. she tells lilly she isnt lee and shes right. the narrative was forcing her down that path, a path she saw as an inevitable fate waiting to take her too, but its a narrative broken by aj, who is also his own person and not S1 clem

"it happened to lee, and itll happen to you" lilly tells clem she'll die protecting aj from some mistake he makes, when in reality his defiance of her will is what saves her life after she had already accepted her fate. he breaks clem free from the lee cycle and they get their relatively happy ending. good for them

#anyway in the commentary they talk about how they Were going to have a death ending but didnt like the idea of the good/bad ending #and how people would moreso try to avoid the 'bad end' which i understand and appreciate bc thats usually what happens #so instead they gave us both :) idk why some people seem to have such a huge problem with that #they broke the cycle :) the ericson kids broke the cycle by being a loving community :) they all break the cycle by refusing the delta #lilly and minnie were both lost to the cycle. lilly with her dad and minnie with lilly #minnie couldnt let go. clem almost did the same and it would have killed her too. but aj makes a Choice and it saves her #god even tho clem is noticeably happier in s4 shes still so gd depressed and Tired. she accepted it so fast im so glad he saved her #like idk you saw her come back on screen after that massive fake out and you got Mad?? i was crying twice as hard #i know ive made this similar post before but like i still see this criticism in 2024 and i just have to laugh now #it speaks #twdg #i just love the narrative threads of S4 bro.... seasons 1 and 4 are two sides of the same coin and i love that. its satisfying

Daniel with Shyla pre- vs. post-sarcophagus addiction

#what shyla does to him is truly and thoroughly deeply fucked up if you think about it. anyway more meta in the tags below lol #stargate #sg-1 #daniel jackson #shyla #michael shanks #s2 #ep5 #2.5 #***edits #love love love how they showed his descent in this ep #the transition from gentle and patient and considerate danny into a smarmy swaggering piece of shit #also as deeply fucked up as what shyla does is you almost get it???#like she's so lonely and isolated at the beginning of the episode she tries to commit suicide #and there's daniel saving her! she's never had anyone except her mother who died and her abusive father so of course she gets attached #and she is prepared to do ANYTHING to keep him because she's isolated and naive and yeah it's really fucked up and she becomes the abuser #and in order to try to keep him she changes him so drastically from the man she actually liked. because she's young and isolated and stupid #and when after all she put him through he STILL comes back to help her and it's THAT that spurs her to change her entire civilization #to break the cycle her father started #all because daniel first saved her and then forgave her #my VERY GOOD BOY!!!!!

anyone ever think about how collectively the aces ultimate goal is to die because . boy do i

#it’s just an endless cycle of ‘be the hero get gravely injured pass on the flame’#thousands upon thousands of times over #and frankly i’m incredibly proud of our rimmer for breaking the chain #he took charge of his own destiny and potentially the destinies of thousands of other rimmers #wether that’s for better or worse is up for debate but i lean more towards better (let him have this one thing)#oh not to go on a tangent in the tags but another thing that keeps me up at night is if rimmer got back intentionally or not #was he trying to get back to his universe (and his lister) or was it pure dumb luck #i don’t know. i don’t know and it makes me violently ill #red dwarf #arnold rimmer #ace rimmer

i just think it'd be funny for Loki's magic to drained/blocked and 75% of the motor function in his arms/hands goes out with it. maybe he collapses because the magic is keeping him up and running. who knows.

#I just think it would be a hilarious and vicious cycle for magic use to break down the body. making the body reliant on magic use #like yeah your body learnt to channel sooo much power and this is the cost #'mages get stronger with practice and age' statistic incorrect.#'mages get used to the chronic damage and raise the magic threshold they can handle' truth #something about magic storage in the body and getting it out #like maybe it's stored in the chest. maybe if the magic suddenly stopped being produced there would be spontaneous chest issues #did we think about that #puts a guy in a magic draining cell and he's trying to act like he hasn't lost control of his arms #like he's not struggling to breathe #yknow???

something i keep coming back to think about ... yes more (tiny) totk rant ... is that point that was made in one of the videos of totk criticism- the point being .... why noone apparently even tried to just kinda ... take ganondorfs enigma stone away after he got sealed

i know in the end scene of his fight when he rips it out himself it looks like it kinda fused to him but like ... are you telling me that not even all of the sages combined could get it off?? or they didnt even try? in the memories it just looks like they all go whoop the bestest most goodest god king sacrificed himself to trap the evil evil man in a not quite death limbo! time to leave immediately and stand around to wait for zelda to come to us and beg for us to swear an oath for some rando eons in the future and then watch her transform into a dragon! yippie!

arguing that it got somehow sealed in a stasis with rauru and ganondorf that made it immovable doesnt really work either bc gans body still rots and rauru disintegrates so its not like they became a weird time paradox of a statue

... it kinda makes me wonder then how rauru could literally grab gans heart and seal it but not just .. kill him .. (yeah yeah only mastersword blah blah- THO MY POINT STILL STANDS ABOUT TAKING THE ENIGMA STONE- ...... also shouldnt there have been another master sword that was very much fine around the world somewhere anyway? time travel weirdness and all? .. when gan was literally defenseless couldnt just .. anyone stab him a lil .. or the stone for that matter ...)

sorry i just keep coming back to think about totk bc im STILL trying to make anything make sense but the more i do the more it all falls apart OTL

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #ganondoodles rants #mini rant #gan just snatched the stone from sonia like it wasnt even conencted to her necklace .... the necklace didnt even break #but no one could get gans stone when he was wuite literally frozen #taking the stone would have solved pretty much everything since it .. somehow .. for some reason ..made him in particular that much stronge #and that in turn makes me think again about the weird unbalanced power of the damn stones #its a never ending cycle of trying to make sense of anything and it just leading to it all crumbling even more

it’s always the ones perpetuating the cycle of violence that tells you to break it. baba shakti telling the kid he should break the cycle, only when it spares him, like a coward afraid of death. fuck you, he can break the cycle tomorrow, you had his mum killed.

#‘you’ll be at his level! you’ll be as bad as him!’ he has scars from trying to wake his burning mother fuck you #don’t let the one perpetuating the cycle tell you that YOU have to break it #break it once he’s dead #monkey man #monkey man spoilers

I feel like the more I process the chapter the more horrible it feels

#yuta dying in gojo’s body #the man who told him to live?#like what the fuck #yuta’s eyes lost all their light from jjk 0 #and he very well may be stuck in gojo’s body unable to do anything #like I get it the jujutsu world is inhumane #but shouldn’t we be trying to break the cycle by now 😭😭#it’s so fucked on so many levels #even if gojo somehow comes back to life after the five minutes #what does that mean for yuta #I don’t even know #jjk leaks #jjk spoilers #jjk manga spoilers

feel so validated it was confirmed gojo killed the higher ups because I loved the page turner shock in chapter 223 of seeing the higher ups slaughtered after Gojo lightly talking to Gakuganji

#so many people thought it was inumaki/yuuta or kenjaku………#jjk spoilers #jjk 261 #I may not be in that massive server anymore but I can feel happy knowing my understanding of jjk was right #<- saying this as someone who barely talked to anyone ever #I remember thinking it was Wild that gojo killed all of them but still maintained the higher ups through Gakuganji #like it was very in character for him. he’s a whole complicated mess of identity and strength #treated as a tool. the pinnacle of jujutsu. being proud and happy that he’s at the top but detached from everyone #the symbol of the society he’s trying to reform. but the whole things rotten from the foundations #killing the higher ups but propping gakuganji up as the leader #wanting his students to experience youth and be seen as humans but disregarding his own humanity #everything with geto. he’s stuck in a sort of stalemate where nothing changes and the cycle of tragedy continues #hoping yuuji breaks out of it but we’ll see #I mean it’s just a classic case of tragedy #dumping all this in the tags of my silly validation post #gojo satoru

Like the entire fucking playthrough with Gale in your party is just:

"I think I'll kill myself."

"No."

"Now it's time to kill myself."

"Gale, NO."

"This is it. The Netherbrain. Don't follow me, for this is where I kill myself and save everyone."

"NO."

So isn't what he wants??? Shouldn't we let him have it? It's his decision, it's his CHOICE.

Except it isn't.

And Astarion's choice to ascend isn't HIS as well. It was put into him by Cazador and the things Astarion learnt from him, the person Astarion was molded into the same way Vellioth molded Cazador.

Except with our (the party's) support Astarion can learn to be something else, someone else. And he does.

#bg3 spoilers #bg3 #gale of waterdeep #gale dekarios #like if we're following the “this is what they want!!” line of thinking #we also have to aknowledge they all were actively coerced and conditioned to think certain way #and gale Astarion lae'zel and shadowheart are the abuse survivors #who were forced into thinking certain way #like the way Astarion thinks of ascension is a direct parallel of how cazador learned velioth's lessons #he walks the same path cazador did he becomes just like him because cazador was molding him into that slowly but surely #as velioth made cazador into his own image #and either you help Astarion break the cycle by pointing him there's the other way #or the cycle will repeat #and 200 300 years from now there will be a vampire spawn trying to break free from Astarion's hold #astarion #bg3 astarion

A teensie shading practice with Bart post workout/class

#bart the bard #Bartemus Bagiery #Fae #unseelie fae #tales of alor #it was a fun part of the story where he wears his slutty little tank top and gets objectified by a lot of other characters #i dont draw him shirtless enough #because his clothes PURPOSELY cover up his figure lines #because he feels it makes him seem “softer”#he strives constantly to seem approachable and friendly #because theres a lot of stigma against his whole family being mindless tyrants and murderous shadow monsters #which he teeeeechnically is but hes really trying to break those family cycles #literally

i KNOW blakes 7 does not mean what it Says about vila and kleptomania seriously, which is precisely why i must take it as such. makin your funny neurotic guy actually neurotic 👍

#GIVE THAT MAN COMPULSIVE-IMPULSIVE KINDA ISSUES.#i think his Crime Stealing- the type thats premeditated and technical- lockpicking heisting and such- is completely seperate from his like.#why do you steal the watch of the new prisoner when youre actively trying to get him to like you? because it was there. because u shouldnt #i think he was a compulsive 'kleptomaniac' first- being raised in a shitty enviroment and told things are not For him and pilfering them #to disprove it became such a dopamine machine -> stress-relief cycle - and then once he got really into that loop #and since you get equally criminalized for it either way. Might As Well Become An Expert Lockpick and steal extra shit To Live Easy Off Of #and now on the liberator with stuff Actually Just . Kind Of Available he has to invent weird limits to break to satisfy the compulsion #and its becoming A Bit Disordered.#cuz suddenly there are way less Circumstantial things to cause the pressure but he cant do without the pressure-relief loop so hes making #new pressure rules up.#but also just the regular impulsive-thing of making his friends upset and hating it #blakes 7 #vila restal
