Horribly sorry if this has already been asked or is asking for spoilers, but will Euclydia Rises have Dipper and Mabel figures? Or would it be a more straightforward timeline, as in less time that MM!Ford is unable to reach Euclydia?
I'm not used to AU's being very detached from the original order of events and time stretches, but I'd assume this is a more independent story, right?
I'm totally not asking because I want to know if there's a canon older / post-portal return equivalent of Bill design before making my own for a funny little take on your au. /pos
Again, sorry if these questions are redundant or asking for plans you'd rather unravel naturally, I've just recently found interest in this au and am hungry for more information about it. Thank you!
nope sorry there wont be a Mabel and Dipper or Mabel and Dipper figures. the only other family Bill has(besides Euclid and Scalene) is Steve aka Triangle Steve(cause pyramids r 3D shapes haha) but even hes just a distant cousin that Bill side eyes in family events. and the closest thing of other family members Ford has is his rock and dice collection

Watching Star Wars in chronological order is so funny.
Obi-Wan Kenobi really took one look at R2D2 in the middle of the desert and said “No, Luke, I’ve never seen this fucking droid in my life. Looks like a real bitch though. Not that I’d know. This is my first time meeting the asshole.”
No one in that whole franchise was Gatekeep-Gasslight-Girlbossing quite like “Ben” Kenobi, regular human-man.
#star wars#obi wan kenobi#r2d2#luke skywalker#More like Regular Human Cave Hermit I suppose#and R2 didn’t even rat him out???#I’m almost positive that there was a moment off-screen where R2 and Obi-Wan were alone in the cave hovel#just absolutely glaring at each other silently while Luke was using the rest room or something#R2 probably whirled around that cave bitchily#like Danm bitch#you live like this?#so uncivilized#and Obi-Wan was like#actually I think I WILL go save Leia#but only so I can drop this useless bucket of bolts on Anakin Skywalkers fucking doorstep and dissapear into the force forever#Honestly#the real plot of A New Hope was Obi-Wan desperately trying to get rid of the world’s bitchiest R2 unit#that somehow managed to find him again after decades#R2 found where he was hiding and Obi-Wan was like:#Guess I’ll die then.

Lmao, no there isn't a test like that
This one of those times where it’s clear Horikoshi doesn’t have a good understanding of the criminal justice system.
Law enforcement can’t just wave a wand and know whether someone was acting of their own free will. This idea that they have test for brainwashing is also contradicted by canon by (1) All for One’s everything and (2) the bee villain from the Vigilantes spinoff (who is also technically part of All for One’s everything). And if they think they have such a device, it clearly doesn’t actually work considering that it didn’t even catch Kurogiri.
#bnha reread#bnha 183#bnha#gentle criminal#tobita danjuro#all for one#afo#kurogiri#or maybe he does understand bc he knows law enforcement is allowed to lie (probably not)#it’s either a plot hole or the in universe equivalent of a lie detector test#Functionally useless but kept around bc people like to hang onto pseudoscience

“I almost told your brother,” Hermione snapped, “Percy — he’s a prefect, he’d put a stop to this.”
could you imagine though
this line could easily be a set up for a canon divergent fic
like i think if Percy was more like popular there would actually be a lot more fics where the whole like gimmick is he plays a larger role in the main storyline because really all you need to do like set up wise is get him involved in the first book and that's not difficult to do with Ron being involved like this line ofc is talking about like the fake duel with Draco
but still i think she should have tattled sorry
Neville too tbh instead of just facing off against them by himself
because it could have made Percy decide early on that he needs to pay more attention to Ron or something even if Ron hates every minute of it which means Harry hates every minute of it
though ig technically you could just make Percy find Neville frozen in the common room and then chase after them
#percy weasley#snitches get stitches? no#snitches get Percy involved in the plot#yeah yeah it's a kids book so adults are meant to be useless and while Percy's still pretty young he's still put in that category too#idk what im on about either

I just finished Tales of the Underworld.
chat what was that. what. what happened.
#theres so much to unpack#did i love it? no. did i hate it? also no.#cad bane KNOCKED UP A LADY????????????#and we just never. hear about this again? where is he? did he seek out bane for revenge?? did he just live the rest of his life traumatised?#i feel like that storyline didnt. NEED. a pregnancy. esp when it felt useless to the plot?#it would have made more sense if bane had turned around and went “oh shit thats my kid hey kid you want to rob a bank w me?” and THEN#that final confrontation took place. but maybe thats just me because w/out that it feels so. dull? and. meaningless.#like never once could I have ever imagined bane being someone to go knock a girl up even in his teens. it feels so ooc#also while i liked ventress and her three eps id have loved to know if this came before or after tbb#im assuming after because of the lack of that lil kid (who i didnt retain the name of because he was. not that interesting to me.)#but anyways the visuals and cinematography was STUNNER#made the show worth watching#also TECH CRUMBS !!!!!! I SAW HIM !!!!!!!!! IM NOT CRAZY CHAT#anyways#star wars#tales of the underworld

I keep thinking about how Kant maybe more than any character right now relies very heavily on First's ability to not only do his job, but do it well.
And he's killing (heh) it.
#he just keeps getting better and better#i still worry that kant will turn into a useless lump once the plot really gets going but for now i'm jazzed to see first do his thing#i have trust issues#first kanaphan#the heart killers

This show ended like two months ago, but I still cry laughing at Win's boss saying he doesn't understand how Ton Kla learned all the details of his brother's case while he stands there looking dumb as hell like����🧍🧍. It's right up there to me with him giving the order to raid Ton Kla's house while standing outside like he ain't have a key since he was whole ass LIVING in that house and all up in that man.
Truly Win was the most "things just keep happening around me, I don't know why" character of all time.
#4 minutes#4 minutes the series#and that's not even getting into the absolutely sad (derogatory) behavior of him looking at a picture he took of Ton Kla#months after he accidentally killed him after he was also not picked#because it was never gonna be him anyway#he really was just the most useless character in this show and I love him with my whole heart#he has no real bearing on the plot at all#he existed to be hot be long fuck Ton Kla and flash his dick and balls#that's my motherfucking boy#regular Clyde

“Jason should get over being upset about his death” - he has, he wasn’t angry at Bruce or the world because they failed him and he ended up dying, which he made clear plain as day and that’s about the most reasonable a person who went through what he went through could be
anyway I don’t think these people realize how gory being bludgeoned to near death is, and maybe it's because of the limitations of the medium that scene was presented in
#not to mention he had to process the added heartbreak of his birth mother’s rejection/betrayal at the same time#like yeah he was cocky and smiling in the uth movie go Jason go but that’s also the same movie that drastically changed the context#and tone of that scene by erasing Sheila#kelseethe#I remember the first time reading aditf I got flashbacks to a Korean horror movie that still puts me in a weird place#anyway it was about a serial killer who went around killing people by beating their skulls in with a hammer#one of the plots was centered around a victim who didn’t die after the first attack and even managed to escape at first#long story short she was running around trying to get help and the cops were useless + he ended up finding her again and finished the job#sfx brains skull blood and viscera everywhere#and that’s exactly what happened to Jason you just didn’t see any gore because it’s an American comic#nor did you hear his screams and the sounds from metal making contact with bone and guts#and like I said the uth movie was pretty sanitized too same for the titans show which also downplayed his death lol#anyway I think it’s really forgiving of Jason not to blame Bruce or anyone else for the fact that they let the circumstances lead to that#and to instead only criticize how nothing was done in the aftermath#Idk I always found it a bit fascinating how it doesn’t seem to have dawned on most people including his fans#exactly how violent that experience was

OCs today because I really missed them. Since I wanted details still but with less effort (aka no shading) I opted for their DND AU versions.
Not pictured: Paul (a Pauladin if you will) messing up and probably nearly dying for the fifth time.
#my characters#oops i fell in love#silly lil plot tag for my silly lil traumatized people (minus Rick he's not traumatized)#right is the cleric here and he's the main character and is best friends with brent the black haired guy#brent has ABSOLUTELY no room to talk about weird best friends#right literally calls brent fuckwad (affectionate) and has him saved in his phone as that and brent thinks its endearing#you have NO ROOM to call karen weird because she craves eldritch blasting paul#rick is just a v nice and polite guy who matches with karen on dating apps all the time#they went on one date and then promptly ghosted each other and then matched again and were like hmmmm awkward#and eventually the two become friends and she hangs out with him and there is zero romance#right and brent do eventually do the talking and the communication and eventually date im proud#since rick doesnt actually really hang out with the whole group just karen im p sure she convinces chris the gm#to make her an npc to replace best friend status because killing paul is really tempting with no consequences#right however is v much NO WAIT THERE ARE MANY CONSEQUENCES EVEN IF HES USELESS#paul off to the side hey wait thats mean :c im trying#anyway sorry i love my ocs and talk about them a lot once i start bye

oboro doesnt show up a single time after knhj cut his arm off and he enters his flop era. [takes my glasses off and experiences a level of relief previously unknown to man] whoa. anyways also utsuro isnt doing anything after he tussles with gintoki. the naraku are still attacking everyone the rest of the getaway but hes really just standing back and letting everyone go for no reason. well cuz hes gotta linger around in the school pickup line until he can go get his boy. from the ground.
#sopping wet gintoki posting#now. tumblr's premier oboro fan. doesnt have an exhaustive list of his three appearances. and i no longer remember the chronological#plot well enough to piece them together. what the fuck does he do in between here and#his fight w sugi. i know we see him w utsuro in space a few times. but is he presumed dead by the earthlings until then.#he really is How Many Times Do We Have To Teach You This Lesson Old Man. useless ass fucking character i love him.

History often tends to repeat itself.
ft. Carewyn @carewyncromwell because we need the responsible friend also mom plz stop her
If I considered Jacob going blind actually canon, (I don't cuz it's a stupid plotline) then I think about how genuinely desperate Sarahi would be to heal him. And like Sebastian, she's willing to do just about anything. Dark magic would be fair game.
Funnily enough, the only thing stopping Sarahi from going down the rabbit hole of Dark Magic is that... she's an idiot.
Sebastian is a scholar and taught himself the Unforgivables. You know how much effort and genius that takes??? And then there's Sarahi... Fully dependent on Rowan, and later, on everyone else, to even understand what's written in basic textbooks because she doesn't have the braincells to process information. Someone will need to teach her unforgivables on purpose. And who would do that?
.
.
.
Rakepick. Yeah. Sarahi knows Crucio because Rakepick taught her. She's never used Crucio, but she does know it. Dammit Rakepick.
#i'm back from the dead#no actually im not#i frickin finished this drawing in nov 2023 and forgot to post#and then my brain decided ok imma not let u be productive anymore >:(#and so here i am... i haven't drawn a thing in 7 months#HELP#how does one get over this thicc of an artblock???#who's playing Beyond Hogwarts btw? it's really stupid tbh#the Jacob got cursed and went blind plot is so goddamn stupid and i hate it#the brother who's the entire plot of the game... is already enough of a wet blanket as is#they literally just made him blind to give him an excuse to be more useless than he already is#welp attempting to replicate the convo with Sebastian to Hphm was fun at least#hey maybe this is the timeline in which Merula actually agreed to teach Sarahi Avada#Sarahi would kill her mom in this timeline and honestly that's awesome#hey maybe I'll redraw the avada incident too#hogwarts legacy#hogwarts mystery#hphm#harry potter hogwarts mystery#hphm mc#sarahi silvers#hphl#carewyn cromwell#sebastian sallow#only tagging seb because it's technically his line#hogwarts mystery mc

Snk ending was beyond awful, but are you satisfied with how Levi's story was concluded?
Ooh boy
No way.
Levi saluting his comrades and being the one to care for their sacrifices was so important, especially to those who think he doesn't care about anyone. His story about being the strongest and thus being cursed to watch everyone die except him followed him to the very end. There's much to explore about his self loathing, his upbringing that imprinted in him to believe he was only useful in strength----something that was always reinforced throughout his life---and to lose that strength, and lose purpose for that strength, when that was the only way of life he knew, and anyone who he could have tried to live a normal life with was dead----Levi fulfilling his promise to eradicate titans, his role as a hero and humanity's strongest actually ringing true---
Except it only makes sense if we ignore all the themes and plot points and just focus on trying to aesthetically end each character's story while ignoring the amazing writing that was there.
Why did no one else care about all the other scouts? Many died saving them. These characters only made it this far because the scouts gave their lives. But they only care about Sasha? What about Marco? You find out how he died but you can't see his spirit reaching peace? Wonder why...
Focusing more on Levi (I've delayed this so much because I keep drifting off into ranting about everything wrong with the ending), how could that be a satisfying ending for all of those deaths?
The scouts wanted to rid the titans from the world to SAVE THEIR HOME. To have a chance for the future generations. They died for nothing with that ending. How hilarious that at the end of it all it's Paradis that's stuck with a horrible history they need to atone for and not Marley who could have just left them.
Moreover, majority of the world was wiped out as well. How could they be happy?
Now the anime has never been that happy and has always been darker so the ending could still have been dark. Sometimes people die for nothing. But the way the fandom perceives this ending as "perfect" as in everyone would be content is just no.
They tried to have such a happy ending too! What was the point? Why not have kept it sad if you wanted to wipe out 80% of the world? What we got was Paradis turning completely evil and being a threat to the world.
Oh yeah the scouts died for nothing a hundred times over. Why was it necessary to make Paradis end like that? Why do animes always have genocides and then sneakily give reasons or try to give reasons that justify it?
Paradisians really were monsters. Now they want to wipe out the world. You could have kept Eren wiping out 80% (still doesn't make sense) but made Paradis good.
Of course that would remove the "both sides have done bad so there's no real villain here to punish war is war I guess" that is always used to justify removing consequences from oppressors. Both sides have evil and both sides can do wrong, but this anime went out of its way to make both sides do bad things even when it wasn't necessary.
If Paradis regretted or wasn't on Eren's side, and obviously after the Rumbling the whole world would fear them, we would see the racism and abuse against Paradis. And for some reason Isayama thought it was a mature theme to not paint anyone as a victim.
Anyway no way would Levi be content with it. He does have some sort of inner dialogue about it. But it contradicts his words to Eren in the manga about the world outside being hell. It also seems very unrealistic that he would think an ideal world would exist, especially since he probably had a rude awakening once getting out of the Underground.
Also it was hinted at for the longest time that Reiner and Bertholdt were sent from outside. So they have an enemy outside who's capable of taking down their walls. Obviously the world outside would have challenges.
Also it was Levi's job to take down Eren if anything went wrong. So many people seem to forget this. He also delayed in killing Zeke multiple times! Yes, for good reasons (I'm looking at you---people who say he was so obsessed with revenge yet would never kill Zeke for the sake of giving his side a better chance at surviving!), but that took Levi out of the game for a while, whereas if Zeke had been killed the Rumbling wouldn't have started.
How can Levi be content when his body count is much higher than Kenny? (so many thoughts on him too and how the fandom casually calls him a serial killer)
The problems go way back for me, though. The ending is just a product of all the writing issues until this point.
Levi's ending is decent what with all these issues, but I can't stand the ending in general. None of the emotional beats touched me at all. I was left upset and in shock of just how bad it was watching it.
#anti snk#Levi Ackerman#I had to do this twice and restrict myself from going off#you could have had an amazingly realistic story about rising up from genocide#about fighting for your people#about the politics and alliances with other countries to survive#you know#if Erwin was alive and both Hanji and Armin weren't made useless#sorry that's too harsh#if all the characters weren't made static#Eren kept reacting like nothing was being done and he needed to save his people#but my guy your friends were stopped by the stupid lack of plot and all their character growth and development was stolen by Gabi#Gabi who is definitely an Ackerman#imagine how many problems would go away if Isayama just made her one#like 2 or 3 but still#anti snk ending

We need a Total Drama character who is exceptionally no-note and average Joe, but manages to coast to the merge because other campers are more annoying or bad teammates. Individually, every single camper decides to keep no-note around because they'll be easy to squash in a finale, but everyone gets too impatient and all gang up on no-note in the top 4 and destroy the poor thing making the top three all that more hostile to each other
Meanwhile, no-note thought they were making it that far because everyone thought they were great and was their best friends, making the rug-pull that much worse for them
#total drama#total drama island#can you imagine if Sierra plot twist was carrying Cody because she knew he was useless and planned to destroy him finale#it wouldn't make up for scenes but it's be shocking alright
