#hunter is also in here. in a way

[citronellals]

a memory bestowed in me is the best i have

[doctorsiren]

Also I must know, is Fiddleford in the Monster Hunter Pines AU at all? I ask because I love him. He seems like the kinda guy who would have loved to stay in the lab and make cool adventure gadgets. That man was destined to be The Guy In The Chair.

I am obsessed with the idea of the Stan Twins and Fiddleford being a weird little trio it delights me.

Okay okay okay okay so my main issue with having Fiddleford there is the whole Emma May situation. We all know how highly Stanley thinks of family, and I don’t think he’d be too keen on this science guy abandoning his wife to help them out, so he makes Stanford make Fiddleford make Emma May come along and she actually turns out to have skill in hunting and such, so she gets to join the twins and gets to use the crossbow :)

This is also because the original concept for this AU was made on the idea that Stanford and Stanley make up much sooner (because them fighting makes me sad ☹️☹️☹️) and I don’t like the idea of Fiddleford still abandoning his wife (and in canon, his son, who doesn’t exist in this AU because uhh its earlier in the timeline) and I thought she deserved to come along 😁

Stanford and Emma May bond over Fiddleford, Stanley and Emma May bond over being good with weapons and not getting what their respective nerds are saying, and Fiddleford and Stanley can bond over Stanford I suppose HAHA

My soul is doomed

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

This entire scene emotionally destroyed me but there's one part in particular that was like taking a knife to an already open wound.

So, Gon shuts down after the reveal that Kite was dead all along and his stunned and racing mind is disjointed and contradictory. Most of his statements fit into roughly three categories of desperate thoughts:

Vehement inability to process that Kite is dead. From the statement being repeated multiple times to the amount of "no"s everywhere on these pages.

Taking the blame for Kite's death, in a frankly horrifying show of self-hatred (especially given the context of what comes next).

Blaming Pitou and proclaiming that he "didn't do it" in an attempt to absolve the weight of his guilt.

Heartbreaking. But there's one thought here that's a bit different.

Throughout all of this, Gon has been adamant that Kite, and by extension the situation, can be "fixed" - after all, most every issue that's come up before on his adventures could be resolved nicely. But now, suddenly, it can't. Gon can't stand feeling powerless or helpless, and now he finds himself more helpless than he's ever been. And we get this.

"Somebody help me."

Gon is independent. Gon has a burning need to prove his worth through his own strength. Gon has a bad habit of equating "taking responsibility" with fixing things all by himself and rejecting help from others.

Gon has never pleaded for someone to save him before.

And it's just. Holy shit. Holy shit - he's a kid. He's just a kid. And in just a few pages, he's going to make a despair-fueled decision to throw away his life just to regain any semblance of power over a situation that was doomed to be unfixable from the start. He says, "Let it end. I don't care what happens to me now.", because this is the only way he can think of to make his pain and his guilt and Pitou all just stop, by losing himself to all of his power instead of his grief.

my question is why is everybody and their mom on the black whale except for gon and killua. EVERYBODY. the princes obviously. all those citizens. kurapika. leorio. virtually all the bodyguards. hanzo. bisky. the phantoum troupe. hisoka. ging and pariston. the zodiacs. girl i wouldn't be suprised if neteros ghost was haunting that boat

[rubia-peregrinart]

one more that wouldn't leave my mind, sorry

[musicalmoritz]

Actual take I just saw on TikTok: People shouldn’t blame Alluka for Killugon splitting up, they should blame Bisky!! She said before she met them that she wanted to ruin their friendship and then she did!!

First of all, why do you have to blame a woman for a conflict between two men? Nobody forced Gon and Killua to part ways, they did that because they had reached two different places in their lives. Killua needed to take care of Alluka, and Gon needed to go home to Mito. I don’t doubt part of it was also due to the turmoil between them after the CAA, it’s natural they would need some time apart after something major like that. But Bisky did not single-handedly cause that either. I literally don’t know what to tell you guys. Killua lived with a fucking needle in his head for years, his family tortured him every day of his early childhood to the point that he can tolerate lightning. Bisky being mean to him is not the singular reason he’s codependent. A lot of his actions throughout that arc can be attributed to him living without the needle for the first time, so if you’re going to blame anyone else for his behavior (he’s still his own person btw) why not blame, I don’t know, Illumi???

And onto their main source of evidence “she said she wanted to ruin their friendship and she did.” Bitch. She said that before she knew them. It’s true that she only started following them because she wanted to mess with them but she very notably grew attached to them. She is not as superficial as she makes herself seem, she cares about those boys. Ya’ll will go on and on about Leorio and Kurapika being Gon and Killua’s “parents,” and even talk about how Hisoka and Illumi care for them deep down (and they do, in their own ways), and then proceed to ignore every woman who played an important role in their development. Bisky herself said that if she stayed with Gon and Killua too long, she’d get “too attached to them, like a parent.” Those don’t sound like the words of someone who wants to ruin their friendship

It’s just interesting to me that people are able to see the good points of outright abusive male characters like Illumi, but when an overall very caring and helpful female character like Bisky happens to have some flaws and imperfections, they decide to blame her for everything that goes wrong in the series. And again, I don’t mean this as hate towards Illumi, I do sympathize with him in many ways, but many fans appear to be incapable of sympathizing with any female characters and it’s annoying. Why do we have to blame Alluka, who literally cannot survive on her own due to years of severe isolation, for Killua and Gon parting ways?? Even if she was the only reason, why would that be her fault?? Why do we have to blame Bisky, who did more for those boys than any of your faves and damn near viewed them as her sons?? Again, why do we have to find a woman to blame for a decision made by two men???

And look, you are not a misogynist for simply disliking a female character. What’s misogynistic is disliking a female character and then doing mental gymnastics to blame her for breaking up your male faves. That’s a little misogynistic. And even if it’s not, it’s still a dumb thing to say. No, Bisky did not mastermind Gon and Killua’s fallout. She cares about them very deeply and if you can’t see that then I’m going to assume you’ve been biased against her from the start, and that’s why you’re making this shallow analysis

Anyways, get behind me Bisky

Hi I live

Have a Lysandre redraw from an au literally only two people know about (basically torturing ocs by putting them in the pokemon world)

[gammija]

i know Gertrude and Gerry have done the 'kindly granny and her grandson' routine in tma before, so there is reason to not take them at face value here. but honestly, I don't think they're going to come back into play in tmagp a lot;

for the simple reason that we've already had Gerry and Gertrude act as the cool monster hunter duo. Casting them in that role again, instead of letting us meet some entirely new characters who are fucked up in different ways, honestly just sounds a bit boring imo

still thinking about choicale from time to time... the au that sometimes grabs hold of my head is one where cale dies while fighting the hunters and, instead of actually being dead, he regresses all the way to the first day he woke up as cale henituse. turns out the god of death has put this condition on him when he switched the souls, because he didn't expected krs!cale to be this... effective. he knew the guy could do this, but to not die at least once...? it made he even forget about it.

then, since he died, the others... don't react all that well. berserk mode on. choi han decides to make a deal with the god of death again, since he can use all his life span, which in turn would make the other dragons (still not so sure with it will be only raon and eruhaben or if mila, dodori and rasheel will do it too) make a deal with the god too. then everyone would go back to the past while offering the rest of their life span, probably tying it with cale's life span or something.

cale would be unaware of all of this until he meets choi han and is greeted with a hug instead of a suspicious stare. and if raon gets to them earlier than he should and with company, who is cale to complain?

[shuuen-no-cimory]

Also of course, it ain't me if I don't crossover my current hyperfixation with my ultimate current hyperfixation. So... Degrees of Lewdity x ProjectMoon! (This post is full of me yapping as I explain each drawing, so I guess, be ready?)

First, I'll go hard with Whitney as R Corp. 4th Rabbit Team. The initial idea was that he reminds me so much of RHeath LMAO But eventually I love the idea because I think he'd go along with Myo well. Plus... Somehow imagining Whitney in Rabbit Team Hatchery shenanigans seems... Interesting.

Next is Eden. If anyone notice, I originally designed him based of 2 Abnos: Der Freischutz and Big Bird. Der Frei was, of course, a nod to his title as a Hunter, and a marksman as well. For Big Bird... Yeah definitely there's the Big Bird in DoL, yet I think temperance-wise, Eden does felt similar to Big Bird. A creature living in a forest, thinking they protect others by doing the action that definitely doesn't seems to be out of protection. As for RRH, oh think about this: Being hunted down while getting marked. One by a hunter, and another by a wolf. Oh isn't it just reminds me of something...? Right

Funny enough, before I designed the school LIs properly, I reimagined them as The City's feathers. "If they're living in the City and has to work with one Wing, which one they'll work on?" I've talked about R. Corp Whitney earlier so I'll talk about the others! Robin, L Corp. - I can imagine him with the pressing needs to survive under the weight of Bailey's rent ends up either being sent or signed himself up as an agent for L Corp. The Wing doesn't ask that much requirement as per Hokmah's story while the agent supposed to have a great pay (being a wing and all). Hence, I think he might work for L Corp. Sydney, K Corp. - The idea was that after graduating, Sydney might follow Sirris path in science. Being the obedient child she is (as we sees on the game before they get corrupted), she probably choose to do what Sirris might do hence her as K Corp. researcher. Oh anyway, truly this is just a fyi that doesn't seems to be related to anything, I reimagined Harper as Dongrang in this scenario, with the whole Teary-Thing problem exist. Oh, lucky enough for Sydney to help producing K Ampule that definitely just as seen in the canon Limbus story. Just saying. Kylar, W Corp. - This one actually a rather fun idea. This is set with the idea that Kylar work as the Clean Up Member, with parents that's definitely unaware with how their child work but nevertheless proud with him. They'd even use WARP Train solely to be sent off by Kylar each time, much to Kylar silent dismay. If only they know what Kylar has to clean up among the 6 seconds they went into the train... Read one of the reblog tag and yeah. It has to do with Love Town. And pretty much how Kylar had to regularly assemble his parents again and again each trip they made.

LCB! SYDNEY LET'S GOOOO!!!! This idea came as I made my LCB-esque ID Card for Sydney. The idea of LCB Sydney's background was that it's pretty much what happened in the game, but make it The City-esque and seen from Sydney's eyes. It's fun imagining her as a Dieci Fixer who was caught in a complicated issue which she rather dip out from as she hasn't fully grow the backbone to face it yet. Oh right, in this AU I reimagined Ivory as Abnormality and both Sydney and Kylar got their EGO. Sydney got their Longing Phase EGO (HE, Gloom) while Kylar got the Haunting Phase EGO (WAW, Wrath). I actually had a draft of how the EGO works and its gimmick but let's talk it later on lol

When Yield My Flesh event is up on Limbus, my head doing the funny by thinking, "Damn... Jun Wren sounds cool..." then I remember Tingtang exist like jfgdjfgbjd HE FITS BETTER AS TINGTANG WHY DIDN'T I THINK ABOUT IT ON A SIDE NOTE, I also had the thought on how Bailey MIGHT kills it as either a Kurokumo or a Middle. After all, Middle never forget... Just like how Bailey never forget your rent LOL

And last but not least: Sydney and Robin as L Corp. Agent! Robin will be a high Temperance agent which work for Safety Team, while Sydney is the high Fortitude, high Prudence Disciplinary Team Captain. Oh, if you do notice: I made Sydney's cross looks like Penitence EGO Weapon. It's actually based of this idea of how One Sin and WhiteNight's dynamic thematically fits Sydney the Faithful and Sydney the Fallen. The name of both Abnos' EGO Set-- "Penitence" and "Paradise Lost" respectively, both fits the image of each Sydneys. Hence, I draw them in both EGO Sets!

can you tell the time without a watch? and do you have your own internal compass? and do you wake up n' sleep with the sun? and does daylight savings mess you up? and are you weak during eclipses? and are you stronger during summer solstice? are you a portable furnace? do you burst into flames when you're burnt out? do you hate the winter? are you bothered by these questions? should i stop? do you like mitski?

[Will blinks as the questions are thrown at him one after another before holding up his hands] im not bothered, just hold on or im going to forget them.

[Will starts counting on his fingers as he answers the questions] for the time thing, it depends? Like if im outside and the suns out kind of but only like to the hour or half hour its not that accurate.

[He shakes his head as he counts up again] and no i just use common sense. Sun rises in the east and sets in the west but its more north during summer and more south in winter. [Will seems genuinely unaware that this perhaps is not common sense]

Oh, this one is actually used to [will says, glad he can give a positive answer for once] my circadium rhythm is crazy strong so I have all these lamps in the infirmary for late nights. I can still sleep during the day if I have to technically but it feels like literally anyone breathing will wake me up so its not really worth it.

[That joy of a positive answer quickly fades though] yeah, no i hate daylight savings. They're not saving anything, just confusing people and making me late for things when I do sleep.

[Will pauses then, trying to remember before shaking his head] yeah, no, sorry I really dont pay attention to that, I have no clue

And im stronger in the summer [will lowers his hand as he loses count, going a bit more rapid fire] but the summer solstice doesnt specifically make me like super powerful or anything.

I am actually super warm, its pretty nice. Ive been told apparently I give good hugs because of it.

Flames seems a bit dramatic. Burnt out mentally wont do anything weird. Magically though I just tend to get really feverish and hot. Which im a lot more resilient to so it can get... pretty high. Furnace high. But I dont think ive ever reach flame high before passing out first.

I mean i dont hate it. I like the snow, which we dont really get in camp but whatever. Its just the seasonal depression and all. I dont think that has anything to do with... actually it might be an apollo kid thing now that I think about it.

I dont hate them. Im just confused if youre about to send an assassin after me or something. So you can keep going or stop either way.

I mean yeah she has nice music, its not really my favorite though

[dead-generations]

at a certain point marxists are going to have to confront one extremely overwhelming flaw with Marx and Engels works - everything they wrote about anthropology and prehistory was based on the extremely early and as we know now, extremely wrongheaded archeology/anthropology of the 18hundreds.

Most* of what they said on the subject was based on fundamental "knowledge" that now appears to be completely counterfactual
