Today I realized that in S2 when Jet was dying, Katara didn't pull out the spirit water but when Zuko gave a monologue about how he'd started to overcome the trauma from his scar my girl was like "oop what if I could heal that?"

interesting how many CC know what the event is instead of being mostly blinded like with Purgatory. Makes me think it may be more roleplay oriented...

Can we talk about how Jason is the most armored out of the entire bat family? Full face coverage already puts him above nearly everyone else, but add on the fact that his helmet and chest are likely covered in hard body armor to protect him from nearly all kinds of bullets and he is nearly impervious to the most common kind of danger.

He wears combat boots, gloves, and a jacket to give him ample coverage and somewhat decent fire protection. He also uses the spaces granted by his outer clothing to store extra ammo and gadgets.

His mask likely has a filter, making Scarecrow and his fear toxin useless. This gives him a huge advantage against what is likely a very daunting villain for Jason, given that the fear toxin would make his traumatic memories surface up. Even in his second-most common suit, he still wears a face mask to protect him from this same problem.

It's weird to me. I feel love but not romance really. Love is something I can understand. Love is something that I can give and have and do a lot of. Romance feels alien and strange to me. It feels like a word that doesn't fit. Common perceptions I see view romance as like... One of the highest forms of love but the love I feel for those around me for those in my life for those I love both is greater than and something that is almost completely not romance. My love overpowers me and overwhelms me but it never feels like the suffocating pressure of romance, the way I feel it constrict me. I have so much love and so much love to give to those I care about and I'd rather just try to express that as best I can that trying to fit it in a box that doesn't fit

i keep seeing all these discussions about kpop group dynamics and which groups are more like friends and which groups are more coworkers and its so interesting that this sort of dissection and analysis only happens with girl groups? like ive never seen a boy group's group dynamics picked apart the way nearly every girl group has

ik this is all rhetorical obv lol its the underlying misogyny and the assumption that girls are more drama/"women are women's greatest enemy" bullshit but idk its grown even more with 2nd gen groups also making reunions and their dynamics getting picked apart as well

like im genuinely curious are there any boy groups that have iffy group dynamics that were picked apart? are we just assuming all the guys are besties and have amazing relationships or are we more accepting of whatever dynamics they may have be it friends or coworkers? and that same courtesy isnt extended to the girls (bc it rly is ok if a group aren't best friends for life lol they were put together by a company they're not obliged to always get along on a personal level)

anyway its just fascinating how this group dynamics gossip or controversies always happens with girl groups and there's barely any mention of it with dudes

Edit since a lot of people seem confused - your "real" name is the name that you want to be referred to in real life. It doesn't have to be your legal name. So if you're trans and you have a different name to whats on your birth certificate, even if not many people call you by the name, it still counts as your real name.

Edit 2 : Holy shit guys please stop reblogging this post my poor inbox im getting like 20 notifs an hour asjfhkajshdkh /lh /srs

So I've been thinking lately about how Mithrun is Kabru's dark mirror (more on that another time- it needs its own post), and I thought it interesting that one of their parallels is that they were both cared for by Milsiril, but in opposite directions. She took Kabru in as her foster after he was orphaned and tried to convince him not to become an adventurer. On the flip side, she helped rehabilitate Mithrun specifically so that he could rejoin the Canaries.

And I kept wondering: why?

For Kabru, obviously she loves him a whole lot- despite any other shortcomings in their relationship, I do believe that.

So I get why she tries to convince him not to go dungeoning, and, failing that, at least prepares him as thoroughly as she can.

But why help Mithrun? She used to hate Mithrun, but after realizing what a secretly twisted person he was, she actually thought of him more positively (oh, Milsiril). So it wasn't as if she held the kind of grudge that might motivate her to make his already-depleted life even more miserable by sending him back to the dungeons. And it wasn't that she felt bad for him either, since she didn't visit Mithrun for the first ~20 years of his recovery.

The Adventurer's Bible says that Utaya was the impetus for Mithrun returning to the Canaries, but Milsiril is the one who made the trip to see him and tell him about it.

Why would Milsiril work so hard to get her old coworker back into fighting fit? Why encourage him to return to such a dangerous lifestyle, when she was the one who chose not to mercy-kill him?

That last panel is such a crazy thing to hint at and then never elaborate on. Without it we could have just thought that Milsiril wanted the Canaries' work to continue without her, even if it seemed out of character. I think some people even assume she's just a natural caretaker as a foster mom and handwave it to include nursing Mithrun too. What could Milsiril's suspicious motives be? What does she gain from Mithrun joining the Canaries that isn't an altruistic desire to see dungeons safely sealed? Feeling a sense of responsibility for the work she left behind isn't an ulterior motive.

My theory is: Milsiril, knowing that Mithrun was empty save for the burning desire to face the demon again, wound him up like a clockwork doll and pointed him back at the dungeons.

Hoping that he'd eliminate the biggest threat to Kabru's life, before it was too late for him.

Milsiril the puppetmaster.

Sometimes I think about how Adrien, throughout the series, constantly grapples with his fear of abandonment. Gabriel conditioned him to believe that any love he receives is purely transactional, and that to earn affection he has to prove his utility. Adrien is constantly trying to prove his worth to his father for scraps of affection, and Chat Noir infamously crumbles on-screen any time he feels as though he is replaceable to Ladybug. It's a constant insecurity of his, like everyone will just dump him like a sack of potatoes the moment they find out how useless he is.

Meanwhile, all Marinette wants to is ensure that Adrien is happy. Because she loves him. She doesn't give two shits about how """useful""" he is. She holds him and tells him that she will never abandon him (both as Ladynoir and as Adrienette), and her fantasies are about saving him, not about him being "useful" to her. Throughout their relationship, Adrien is forced to disappoint Marinette constantly for reasons outside of his control (amok commands), and yet Marinette is still there for him.

At Adrien's lowest point, when he is forcibly torn away from everyone who had ever showed him genuine care, locked away in an all-white room and at his most "useless", right after disappointing Marinette and unable to even join the final battle or contribute in any way, she still saves him. She still loves him. Because he doesn't have to prove anything to her. Because he is loved and cherished for who he is, not for what he does, and that love is not conditional. Adrien's "happy ending" at the end of the first arc wasn't about him finally proving how useful he can be, because he never actually cared about being useful — he just saw it as the only means to feel loved and needed. Instead, in the end, he found out that he was loved and needed no matter what.

[ID in ALT] Steph and Damian doodle! This taps a bit into their pre-52 dynamic so that's what I was thinking design wise at first but I wanted to draw it w their more recent designs as well to stay hashtag current and topical, so you get both/a fusion, lol

Idk who needs to hear this but time and time again isn't over!!!

Webtoon removed the "time and time again will return!!!" Banner and I don't know why, but it's not over!!! There's still another 1/3 of the comic to go! There's a lot more stuff that I'm working on and it'll be coming back soon!

Please be patient with me, I know it's been a long time... But the stuff I'm making is really good and there's a lot of reasons it's taken this long. I promise I want it back more than anyone.

I'm trying to come back around the end of October. I'm doing my best to get everything ready in time, so no promises, but I'm on track to do so! I'm just one person writing and drawing everything, and my editor was fired so I'm not even getting any notes anymore. It's literally just me. I'm doing my best I promise!

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that su’s treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.

two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voices—it’s been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise they’re over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!

not enough discussion about the gavins' complicated relationship with feminine-coded/beauty products, i don't think.

He doesn’t understand. We aren’t convinced of anything. And we aren’t stuck together. We’re one. Decided to make some fanart of my interpretation of the wild together. Idk if you could tell, but the wild is my favorite princess, ha ha.
