#if it doesn’t make sense then oh well

I don’t care whether it’s seen as platonic or romantic, as either way Wrightworth makes me sick (in a good way).

Like- You’re telling me that Phoenix Wright decided to study law so Miles Edgeworth would be forced to see him again. Purely so he could try and figure out why he had changed so much during the past 15 years.

You’re telling me that Edgeworth flew in a private jet, from a completely different continent, when he was told that Phoenix’s life was in danger. No matter how their relationship is perceived, you can’t tell me that it’s not a strong/special bond. In the end, they always seem to make their way back to each other; and when they do, they almost instantly fall back into old routines. Sure, they do argue quite a bit, however they do always make up afterwards. In my opinion, them arguing just makes it better. It makes it seem more genuine/human.

Anyways, time to spend my time not sleeping and overthinking their dynamics and crap

What makes me really sad is thinking about how the trolls, while still living in the troll tree, had to of tried so hard to normalize things. Trollstice, to me, had to be a thing for roughly 100-150 years at best so many trolls were used to this lifestyle and always made due with what they could. They lived with fear and uncertainty their entire lives without questioning it often. But what confuses me is the timeline we’re presented with for the 1st and 3rd movies, which has lead me to create my own timeline of course ❤️

Brozone happened because it was a good distraction, not only for the young band members but everyone else, too. Their breakup probably happened three years prior to the trolls’ escape. Rosiepuff most likely died a year prior to escape. Poppy was probably about 3 years old during the escape, while Branch was around 4(currently putting Branch at 24 years old, Poppy being 23). SO;

7 years before escape

—Brozone forms consisting of JD, Clay, Floyd, and Bruce

6 years before escape

—Brozone’s first official concert

—Branch is born

5 years before escape

—Brozone starts to gain more popularity in mainstream media; not yet at the height of their fame

4 years before escape

—Brozone is the number 1 boy band in the troll tree

—Branch joins the band

—Poppy is born

—A meeting to plan their escape is organized

3 years before escape

—First ever Brozone tree wide tour

—Brozone breaks up, the brothers split up; the band fades away into obscurity

—The tunnel plan officially begins

2 years before escape

—Branch joins Kismet with other young trolls around his age to cope

—The escape tunnel is nearly complete

1 year before escape

—Rosiepuff dies

—Branch turns gray

—Kismet breaks up

—The tunnel is finished, phase 2 in the plan begins in time for next Trollstice

one thing that struck me about today’s BSD season 4 episode (aside from the world-turning-to colour moment, which was super dope!), was the use of levels and positioning. in particular, i’m referring to ranpo’s scene here, where he makes his address to the audience.

first of all, the imagery of him being on a throne directly calls to his self-proclaimed new status as the “world’s greatest detective”. but what’s also interesting is just how high up he is.

it’s not so clear in those first screenshots, but here, you get this very clear view of how high up he is. he’s on the tallest level of the stage, above murakami, the policemen, and the audience.

this whole sequence takes place after fukuzawa hands him those infamous glasses, and tells him that he’s gifted. ranpo believes he’s an ability user, and so, this separates him from the masses in his mind, who are visually represented here by the audience on the ground (including fukuzawa, who hasn’t discovered his ability yet at this stage). and this not only separates him from them — it elevates him. putting him on, not only the stage, but the highest part, emphasises the difference in his self-perception. he is different from the regular ‘monsters’ because he is an ability user: a rarity, an urban legend of sorts.

even here, when the police officer (who is definitely not suspicious at all) comes over to compliment ranpo and fukuzawa, the concept of levels is at play. this police officer is, to our current knowledge, a regular, non-gifted human. he even expresses shock and awe at the fact that he’s in the mere presence of an ability user. ranpo is at the top of the stairs, again, emphasising his position as a gifted ability-user, someone beyond the skills of a regular human.

and ranpo’s (literal) elevation, especially in the stage scene, is also linked to the themes of the play itself, i’d argue. and like, full disclosure that i’m long overdue for a reread of untold origins since my memory is very blurry at best, so i’m just going to be basing this off what the anime does with the play (since, after all, this is a post analysing the relevance of positioning and layers/height/elevation in the anime).

at the start, it’s stated that angels are ‘gifted’ beings — and the word used here is, to my knowledge, the same as the word for ability user (please correct me if i’m wrong!). so the association is immediately established: gifteds — ability users — are strong, beyond human comprehension, and powerful enough to strike a fallen angel down. so that is to say, stronger than the normal, status quo.

there’s religious (largely christian) imagery written all over the stage. at the start, one of the fallen angels in the play is ‘murdered’, and the imagery behind is undoubtedly a nod towards the crucifixion of jesus. and this position and framing here very much reminds me of an altar. especially with murakami’s ‘corpse’ under the (white!) cloth.

ranpo’s position, above everyone, being deliberately above the cross, the centre of the spotlight — it’s almost as if he is some higher being. something there to cast judgement above all. something like… an angel. who are gifted beings, according the play, as he himself believes he is, since he’s been dubbed an ability user by fukuzawa.

indeed, the murder and the play are deeply connected — but so’s the symbolism of ranpo rising above everyone else and the concept of ‘gifteds’/‘ability users’ and the concepts laid out in the play. at least, in my view.

positioning has always been used in the BSD anime to display power dynamics and relations, and it’s a similar concept here. the subtle details make all the difference to the way we view the anime, i think. and that’s the power of visual storytelling!

This is the deepest I can delve into how I view them n their implications through imagery before it bcomes incomprehensibl 😙😙😙😙maybe I’ll do a tiny bit of elaborating in tags idk(this was mostly an excuse to practice drawing dranzas head)

I don’t so much know a lot about the Danny Phantom fandom or the show because I was like 8 when I watched it but here’s a really cool idea for those CM and DP crossover fics is the idea that Shazam and Danny have shared custody over Captain Marvel.

Captain Marvel is not necessarily a living being but a spirit that imbues their hosts with the powers of his patrons and accentuates their heroic qualities, and as such theres a big issue in the back of their creator’s mind about what happens to them when they or their host dies because there would be a good chance his creation would be lost forever without an afterlife tied to them.

So Shazam uses the historama and his ability to access whatever point in the timeline he pleases and makes a deal with the most neutral domain of the afterlife and historically its most agreeable King who would strike a favorable deal: the king of the Ghost Zone, Danny Phantom.

In a sort of persephone like manner, when Captain Marvel dies they remain in the domain of the ghost king and when a host is found for them, they return to the living world to fulfill their duties and rejoin Shazam.

Shazam didn’t anticipate how attached Danny would grow to his creation or it’s hosts… or how much of an issue his choices in Marvel’s hosts would be when he picks little Billy Batson.

pallas in book one is definitely at it-cannot-possibly-get-worse-than-this ABSOLUTE rock bottom but god. there is such a specific flavour to their despair in book two that only happens because of the realization they have at the end of lay me down. like. how do you move on after admitting that everything you believed in was a lie. how do you live with what you’ve done (with what has been done to you). is it possible to pull yourself up out of the pit you’ve dug. what do you do if it isn’t. what do you do if it IS. and once you look at the damage how do you stop looking. past the first layer of hurt there’s just more and more hurt and you were used by the one person who was supposed to keep you safe to cause even MORE pain and no matter how deep you go none of it means anything! it never meant anything at all!! motherfucker your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Random au because I can't stop thinking about this:

On the doc Mike and Pac found in the prison said that if Walter Bob completed that specific task he would be free from the jail/no longer a prisoner, right? (MY memory isn't the best so maybe this is a bit wrong but that is what we have for today folks augstwfwywfrqcw)

So

What if one day he finishes the task and Cucorucho with a smile brings him to another federation building and asks him to get into a room

So

Days later Fit is asked to clean a room, no big deal, another day of honest work where he starts lurking around looking for anything that could be useful for him and his mission

And then, in another place that he isn't suppose to be, but that he got into anyway is a... something. In the corner. It's small, it's scared, maybe even trembling a little bit and tired, very tired.

It's an egg.

When he enters, it turns around to face him and Fit freezes for a second because now he can clearly read the name on top of the kid.

"Walter Bob"

Well, he isn't coming out of that building alone.

Also! For fluff purposes! Imagine he bringing him to show Pac and Mike, like, Walter Bob doesn't have the memories of Before but he can't help but feel at ease around those "strangers" and their vibrant, lively energy, especially because they seem to like be around him as well, always full of hugs and itens and new places to show around.

Ramon being a good older brother! Showing him how to explode things and being perfect to bring his more quiet and chaotic side.

The fact that before he couldn’t remember ever having a bed just the cold metal of the cell and the guards shouting and pain and experiments and cold cold cold

But now it's different! Now he has a family, people from everywhere smiling and talking to him and helping and saying strange, kind things like that their house is his as well and that if he ever ever need he could call

And then Forever reforms the NINHO to have another room and Bad calls him to chat while making his buildings and Baghera gives him a bunch of invisible potions so they can hang around listening to gossips and Philza is always chill in letting him visit and Foolish laugh and goof around like nothing could ever go wrong everytime he gets too anxious and Mike and Pac are there and...

And Richas gives him beautiful paintings to put in his room and Dapper show him all his cool animal collection and Leo take him to a train ride and Tallulah helps him to decorate his room and...

And and and

(And the hope is there, it hurts too much to bare sometimes, like it's a knife that already cut him before.

But little by little, with time, the wounds begins to heal)

Sorry for more AU posting but here’s more quick strega ken sketches I did at work. Featuring Chidori cuz I love her dearly and I think their relationship in the AU would be neat

[simcardiac-arrested]

once again sorry to everyone for bringing this to your dashboards. but some of you are like, genuinely delirious. not even in a funny way. & i hope you die. i hope we both die. hand in unlovable hand etc etc

[thirtyn1ne]

this is nothing fancy but I just want to get this out, so you see the boys ? Imagine int in actor au (just like aot actor au) where the characters are obviously acting. Can you imagine their shenanigans?espicially with William and John I headcanons that the cause the most mischief out of everyone with the cast and their and it’s not a thing that is hidden from the media ,like it’s a known fact. Now add Ben to mix and you are gonna get a party of chaos tho he surprisingly subtle than these two.

a tiny bit of spoilers for s3 of the boys ( just in case)

and the whole cast is like a family to each other , of course they would often involved rayan ( or more likely he just joins in and no one stop him). I know this probably doesn’t make sense with the lack of specific scenes but my Brian chose not to brain 😭😔 this whole thing began because I realised that all what homelander is someone who longs and aches for someone to love him , and Ben wanting to not be like his father but then he abandoned homelander, and suddenly a picture of these hugging each and just be happy even if it’s in some other universe , even when they aren’t a son and a father But they are the closest they could ever dream to be if they were family.

last night i tried to establish a bit of a timeline on the south downs cottage and accidentally convinced myself that foundational things i thought i knew may be a lie which is fine

I know that a lot of people think online friendships are silly and don’t hold as much weight as in person friendships, perhaps due to the whole stranger danger stuff which is important to keep in mind of course, but I don’t think that’s true

Maybe it depends on how you view it, like maybe you believe they’re just fun temporary things and don’t think they’re on equal footing as irl friends, just fleeting things to pass time with. But personally I think every type of friendship is meaningful even if it’s online with people you’ve never met in person before, everyone you meet and spend time with contributes a piece into creating newer and newer versions of yourself, like new tastes new interests new perspectives, they’ve touched you in a very notable way and it’s the same for them. It’s just lovely to think about how bonds can form from far distances without once meeting in person, it’s a special thing

omg this rin drawing/speedpaint from earlier this year that i never finished :’o
