[oatmeal2321]

i dont actually know how fabric works either, i hope it looks ok

also, this is the first time ive done a proper bg in ages, so apologies about how shit it looks lol

what gets me about the shadow/maria dynamic is that it takes the trope of "weak helpless girl dies for a tragic plot device" and subverts it

Maria wasn't helpless in her fate. She did have a choice. Shadow would have been strong enough to protect them both (Where else could they even go? Would he need to hurt someone?) but instead she made a choice to protect Shadow.

Shadow's story isn't tragic because he failed to protect Maria and now spends the rest of his life tormented over it. Shadow's story is tragic because he is the strongest creature alive, but raw power isn't always enough, and his loving friend made a sacrifice to let him go hoping she was giving him a chance to learn compassion because she was strong!

Maria's purpose isn't that she's a weak little girl who dies. Maria's legacy is that she protects the strongest creature alive, and teaches it the strength of love.

Her character gives the moment purpose, not the other way around. Her willingness to die so he can go free, asking him to use his strength to protect the people of Earth, despite everything. It's her proof of love that gives Shadow's burden that kind of extreme weight. Shadow will live forever and with so much limitless power, would life be easy to discard without a second thought? Not Maria's. Not when she asked him to protect it. That weight will remind him, always.

i know there are only like five of us but i feel like garth stans really don't talk enough about how left out he feels with the titans. dick and wally are Best Friends. donna and roy are on and off again. dick and donna are too much to explain. on average, roy is close with at least one of dick's siblings. dick donna and wally all go on to be in the new teen titans. garth isn't Close with any other titans but the originals

and it's this thing where,,, it's not his Fault yknow? he's not mean or spiteful or creepy or anything that would warrant them not liking him as much. he joins in on their jokes, he risks his life, he shares his feelings, he does everything that he knows friends do. but just the virtue of him being atlantean and them being land dwellers ruins everything. he Can't spend more time with them, he doesn't understand their culture, he will always choose atlantis.

they'll always be his friends but he can never truly be with them or form deeper bonds. he'll always be the last one to know what's going on, the last one they call, a complete shadow and afterthought.

and sure there's a part of him that knows this, that feels bitter and lonely. but he can't even be that mad at them because he does the same thing. the titans are never his first thought, he never calls them first, he doesn't reach out and ask if they're okay, they're always the last ones to know what happened to him. the titans are such a huge part of his life but they're barely in it.

there's just something so inherently lonely about garth that i feel most dc writers don't understand. they just don't get it. they don't get what it's like for this boy who was all alone, never had parents or a family, suddenly being taken in and having to act like he knows how to be a son, a friend, a partner. meeting kids his own age and wanting to bond with them so bad, having to watch as they all get closer to each other and leave him behind, not being able to do anything about it. never being taken seriously, always the last choice... garth man.....

can’t wait to see it in dragon engine :3

mine has been the winner for Funniest Character Imaginable for 15 consecutive years and i have yet to see anyone come close i fear

[sonknuxadow]

joking about it is one thing but some of the ways i see people talk about marias death and potential upcoming adaptations of it make me wonder if anyone even remembers what the already existing portrayals of marias death looked like ... ? because its not as scary as some people seem to think it is. i mean yes its a tragic moment and kinda dark for a kids franchise about cute talking animals but theres no blood. we dont directly see maria get shot. we dont see the exact moment where she dies. some versions (including sa2) dont even show soldiers or guns or anything and just have the player piece together what happened through context clues. so no i dont think little kids are gonna be traumatized from playing sxs gens no i dont think sonic 3 has to be rated pg 13 in order to do the story justice . showing her death in extreme detail literally wouldnt even be accurate to the source material

[chronicowboy]

actually the worst writer feeling is not writer's block or no inspiration or just an exhaustion that you can't write through, it's when you have that itch to write but inspiration is juuuust out of reach like i can keep brushing my fingers against the corner of my next idea but i can't quite grab it

ok anyways yea fang went chasing after his crush’s dad, who he found stabbed through with his own sword, STABBED BY HIS OWN PRINCE, & now we r wandering down to the basement where the prince is with a vaguely menacing “whatever happens down there, dont tell my daughter” & an otherwise refusal to talk about his plans 

im at 15 hp, level 5 sorcerer, if you SNEEZED on me i’d probably die. i got 5 health potions (which is one less than i had before for Dad Saving Purposes), & i am one HUNDRED percent backing this man up on whatever he’s about to do. he’s gonna kill the prince of his own country?? (keeping in mind this is the fucking Knight Captain???) then uhh fuck yea im in. im just gonna stand like 50 feet back, dont mind me,

Hate how zdarksy is doing the same thing to damian as he does with jason I think I have said this before but damian following his father like a puppy when he becomes evil (gotham war and now with failsafe) makes no sense considering damian should be more cirtical with any of his parents than anyone else. It's like he takes damian getting rid of his league of assassins ways (and his "evil" mother) as his father conquering him and making him completely loyal no matter what. That just makes him look dumb but we all know as long as it makes Tim look good it doesn't matter how many sons you throw under the bus (also makes bruce a petty divorced man but we all knew that after shadow war lmao)
