nice argument but

[bonefall]

Feel free to ignore you've probably got a lot going on right now, but considering you know a lot about DOTC and Clear sky, I had a question...

We know that he's a terrible, misogynistic, woman beating and war mongering lunatic who was excused of all his actions because his equally misogynistic brother said " But-But he's nice! Deep down! This isn't the real him! "

But! In a world where the Hunters could write such a character, what do you think Clear Sky would look like as an actual sympathetic villain?

Idk if that makes sense, but what I've thought of doing is taking purely cannon Clear Sky and attempting to change him enough that he's still an antagonist, but not too far where only Reddit defends him.

I don't think he works as a sympathetic villain, on any level, ever. I think you're making a huge mistake to even try, and I have never seen an AU where it was done well nor am I interested in entertaining the thought.

Characters. Are. Tools. They exist to tell a story. The story that people tell me, by obsessing over some alternate universe where he was "ACTUALLY sympathetic and had a REAL redemption arc," is that they're not fucking interested in his dozens of victims. Nor do they actually care about the abusive impact he had on the minds and feelings of his family. They're JUST interested in Clear Sky himself.

Just like the Erins. Everything that happens in DOTC revolves around him. Everything. All his wives die so he can be sad about it. His brother defends all of his actions and BEGS you to sympathize with his pain so he can be 'redeemable.' One Eye comes out of nowhere so that there can be an example of "real" evil to contrast Clear Sky so he's less bad in hindsight.

The first three books of DOTC are bad, but the last three are fucking insufferable because SUDDENLY all that Gray Wing apologia pays off, and they take their main villain and throw him out a window. You CAN'T have "redeemable" Clear Sky and the plot of DOTC without dragging in someone else to drive the conflict, to BE the bigger threat to "unite" against. Slash and One Eye have to be conjured up out of thin air so Clear Sky can WHINE about how people only suck his toes instead of deepthroat them after he killed all their friends.

And yet, in spite of this absolute failure of an attempt, we continue to see this bullshit "redemption" be a mistake because Clear Sky is a fantastic villain, with major antagonist roles in nearly EVERY bit of follow-up material for DOTC that came after.

He's the most consistent monster in all of Warriors.

He's a fragile, egotistical, self-absorbed megalomaniac who ALWAYS sees himself as the victim, REFUSING to self-reflect and blaming everything else for all of his terrible choices. He will USE your love of him against you like it's a chain through your nose, step out of line and he will yank you into place with guilt trips, manipulation, public shaming, and violence.

He's a child abuser. He's a tyrant. He abandons the sick and disabled as soon as they're of no use to him, with grand speeches about "illness" and "weakness." He's a murderer who stands above the shredded corpse of his victim and bellows, "I'M NOT GREEDY! I'M JUST STRONG!"

And you'd write a "good" redemption arc for this, why?

Why are people so chronically unable to accept that there are LOTS of people like him, and you can't save your abuser? Why don't you ask yourselves why you're not interested in exploring Thunder, or Petal, or Gray Wing, and how his toxic influence impacts them? Why does the sympathy fall on Clear Sky? What about the DOZENS of victims who are dead by Book 3, and how THEY could have been saved?

Why ruin a perfectly good villain?

What's behind this trend where a billion people say to me, "Yes Clear Sky is a walking cavalcade of fucked up abuse apologia, and an incredibly realistic depiction of an abuser, but how would you change this while keeping it all the same?"

I wouldn't. You can't. It wouldn't be the same story, or it wouldn't be the same character. Never seen it done well, and I have seen it a lot. So I don't entertain this deeply frustrating "Well What If Clear Sky But Nice" impulse.

hfw: burning shores | aloy 43/?

dreamt up an insane toontown AU on the way home from college then proceeded to spend 3 hours making an animatic for it

here's a basic rundown under the cut!! :)

missy, formerly a lab assistant of iconic inventor gyro gearloose, got caught up in one of his experiments and wound up thrown outside the entire fabric of reality. she spent an unknown amount of time stuck in a mysterious island in the far reaches of the void, with only a tree in it she could nap under.

at some point. as one of the leaves of the tree falls on her head, she gets suddenly sent back into the town she used to know, but at a time period she didn't quite remember. she witnesses an event she had never heard of before, an election for the president of the toon council? that didn't quite ring a bell. but as the events of doomsday unfold she quickly comes to realize she has been granted a gift of sorts that allows her to travel through several iterations of her reality.

from there, she begins to explore all the different worlds that branched off from hers, getting to know toons and cogs she could never have dreamt of

+ specific events in it:

toontown rewritten (presidental elections) toontown rewritten (under new management, club president) toontown corporate clash (hires & heroes, duck shuffler) toontown offline (duck hunt, the chairman) toontown offline (five nights at the factory) madtoontownreturns (the end trilogy + the COG) toontown corporate clash (making fun of robert looking like a lil nerd + rocky agreeing) toontown corporate clash (fighting the vp to rescue rain) toontown rewritten (field offices, fighting the boiler) toontown event horizon (the infinisuite) toontown corporate clash (redd heir wing) toontown online (kong vs the cog bosses) toontown infinite (their unfinished ttc event) toontown rewritten (meeting fissionton) toontown rewritten (under new management, the foreman) toontown online (laosinaa's dark pixie dust 2) toontown the animated series (deedee + cog boss poster) toontown corporate clash (high roller)

this is the song btw

When people write about Philza achievements and all the impressive shot he’s done, no nearly enough do they mention him surfing the void

[crim50n-r8er]

Blockbuster!Sage

With Sage, she was known before the phantom ruby experiments as Letha (meaning forgetfulness, to reference the similar name change Infinite went through). She started out as an adopted daughter to a family of quokka Mobians but soon was abducted by Tails at some point (how is still up to interpretation). With this, Tails goes through with the experiments on the young girl, turning her into what you see now.

Design wise, I’m really happy with how this turned out, especially that pink and purple highlight where glitched cyber energy would be in canon is replaced with the abundant power of this reality-warping gemstone.

Hope you enjoy as the next design I’ll make is actually Tikal…Stay tuuuned~ ^v^

Fav anime?

A very difficult question my friend, and one that I don't have a definitive answer for. I haven't made my list of things I want to talk about yet because it's gonna be long, but anything I've drawn is from something I love.

I can give you a few of my favourites, and I'm definitely going to both leave out and forget a lot of them. And I don't want to give spoilers either, so the descriptions will be short. For the record, most of these I recommend reading if you can, though if you can only watch them then I understand. Apologies for the sloppy grammar.

In no particular order:

Akudama Drive - a cyberpunk heist plot (anime original)

The Ones Within - a thriller/mystery type thing

The Eminence in Shadow - good goofy fun

Akame Ga Kill - a classic revolution with a twist (I haven't read this but I plan to, the manga is apparently better than the show)

No Game No Life - no war, only war games

Log Horizon - The best isekai ever. really well written and worldbuilt but the author is mildly sexist and was arrested for tax fraud.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Season 1) - Isekai, I've only seen the first season, but i read the lightnovels

Hellsing - a vampire that hunts other abominations

Hellsing Ultimate - the later adaptation of Hellsing that actually follows the manga because they actually had the manga to follow

Horimiya - cute romcom

Infinite Dendrogram - a very interesting premise, executed slightly above average

Charlotte - by Jun Maeda, if you know that name that's enough to know if you'll like it, very sad

Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion. Do not give the movie and newer stuff the time of day. the story was complete at the end of season two where it was intended to end.

Trigun - a western

Cowboy Bebop - wikipedia calls it a neo-noir space western. and yeah, that's accurate

Yu-yu Hakusho - one of the first shounen

Mirai Nikki/The Future Diary - what if your diary started making entries for tomorrow

Overlord - evil d&d isekai

Yu-Gi-Oh - a card game replaced all other everything

Yu-Gi-Oh GX - card game highschool

Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's - CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES

Psycho-Pass - a crime/thriller

Tokyo Ghoul - basically vampires, very edgy

Assassination Classroom - the title kinda says it all

Terror in Resonance/Zankyu no Terror - thriller, difficult material that probably requires a trigger warning. it was removed from my streaming site before i could finish it. Beautiful music, look up the motorcycle scene

B: The Beginning - supernatural crime drama/police procedural, i need to watch season 2

Death Note - you know what that is

Hunter x Hunter - a very fun shounen with a cool power system

Violet Evergarden - very sad

Re:Zero - Return by death isekai

Jujutsu Kaisen - season one is amazing, i read the manga instead of season two so i can't attest to that

Haikyuu - volleyball

Kuroko no Basket/Kuroko's Basketball - What if basketball had naruto eye powers

Tower of God - based on the webtoon, the anime is really good

Mushoku Tensei - isekai with really good worldbuilding, but a main character and plot that are not for the faint of heart

In the Land of Leadale - cozy isekai

Remake Our Life - guy gets the chance to redo his life... but time travel has consequences

This very long list is just for anime which I have seen. if I were to open the field to books that have gotten an anime you'd have things like

The Executioner and Her Way of Life

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

Chillin' in another world with level 2 super cheat powers

Berserk of Gluttony

I'm In Love With the Villainess

The Detective is Already Dead (read this one the anime is apparently terrible)

Solo Leveling

There are probably a whole bunch more too that I can't remember. It's been almost 5 years since I pretty much stopped watching anime altogether in favour of reading the original novels or manga. This list is by no means comprehensive and there are a number of things I left off because I like them but they aren't really... good. Like Seirei Gensouki.
