Turtle Takedown Teamwork.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #tulu xuanwu #Something about changing the action sequence to something gentle is hilarious to me.#The lesson here is “Be nice to turtles. They are gentle creatures. And many are very endangered.”#don't get me wrong here; I love this scene a lot. LWJ's string technique is one of my favoyrite things.#We do get a fair amount of LWJ fighting but I always loved how the theme of strings comes into play.#There is actually a lot to unpack with LWJ being associate with 'strings'.#The musicianship: Of dedication and rigor in one's practice.#The tension between following along a path or composing your own way forwards (playing what has been written vs composing)#A string is a tightly coiled/taunt entity; The same tension that makes it sing so beautifully can be it's downfall if pushed too hard.#And as a non-musical string - something that binds. Be it to his sect and family or how he binds his fate to WWX -#LWJ cannot exist without his binds. It is not something which ties him down though. It keeps him together.#And he himself *is* a bind. He 'ties wwx down' in ways that are initially negatively viewed ('come to gusu' - feels like: come be trapped)#But later it is shown how (despite being introduced as a free spirit) WWX truly wants to be bound to something and someone.#Marriage is a bind he wants. He wants to be tied and grounded by LWJ.#It's starting to sound like innuendo. Let's call his fondness for being literally tied up smart thematic writing.#Finally. Sex scenes that are important to the plot and characters

ok everybody saying dan fucks is conrad’s dad you do you but for ME personally the fix will always be conrad’s dad because dan gives cool uncle vibes 1000000% percent more than the fix ever will. but we will both live our truth and we will both be happy 🤝

#because let’s be honest the fix is NOT gonna let conrad live in an alley guys #in my heart the fix adopted conrad and conrad is one of those kids going ‘did you know’ because he learned it from the fix!!!!!#and once again dan fucks is conrad’s dad truthers good for you #but i really don’t think dan would make a great dad LMAO he berates conrad a little too much even if it’s affectionate #i simply cannot hear the fix going ‘i think it’s time to unlearn that lesson’ and saying he’s just conrad’s UNCLE #i do wish alex got to say what conrad got to do though :(#but yeah for me the fix adopted conrad and he went from being a tiny miserable kid living on the streets #to being in a loving family with siblings and a support system <3 #and justin of course!!!!!!!!#dimension 20 #mentopolis #mentopolis spoilers #conrad schintz #the fix #dan fucks #d20 mentopolis #man i love all of these characters #this season was PEAK

Does anyone know those memes where it goes like:

Evil [character name] be like: *The complete opposite of their whole personality*

This is the most satire thing I have ever made.

#It’s not like I have anger issues I swear I just didn’t expect a game I’ve been playing for so long to go THIS downhill #Im still salty about what they done to Lucifer in NB lesson 38 though #tryna let go still #obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me nightbringer #obey me swd #obey me nb #obmswd #obmnb #obey me lesson 38 #obey me lucifer

tag the oc that's most likely to get stuck in a time loop and what kind of time loop it would be

#I feel like Kyana has time loop potential but idk what the exact loop would be #maybe the loop is the entirety of DAO and she keeps getting companions killed/locked into their Bad Endings #and the loop only stops when she manages to get them all to survive the Blight #something something she needs to learn to be a good leader and care about others #unsuccessful loops reset via the archdemon killing her (even if the dark ritual was performed)#Selene gets the classic 'your love interest keeps dying and you try to stop it' time loop #to escape the loop she must Let It Happen (and then it turns out it's fine and everyone survives)#Secret gives me the vibe of someone who knows they're in a time loop but has given up on trying to solve it #she's just going through it. trying everything. keeping herself entertained. trying to stay sane #sometimes she clues Varric in on the looping. sometimes she doesn't #actually maybe her time loop rule is that someone else has to save her from it. nothing she does by herself will work #idk what the exact reset point would be #I'm thinking the Arishok fight maybe. or Meredith #I don't think it would go as far as the Fade #also. after writing Homecoming I did have the thought of a time loop story #with Dorian as the one being trapped and trying to prevent Neil from dying/becoming possessed #maybe in his case he's not really trapped. he can stop anytime he wants but he keeps choosing to go back #the reset point is something Solas-related maybe #herearedragons meta #oc: kyana amell #oc: watcher selene #oc: secret hawke #oc: neilar lavellan #oh. actually. Aqun would be pretty fun to put in a time loop #that runs over some part of DAI and/or Trespasser #Adina is his time loop buddy (the person he usually tells about the loop because she immediately believes him)#idk what his reset/escape condition would be though #maybe in his case it's something purely mechanical #like there's no lesson to be learned it's just a magical anomaly he's trapped on #and on a meta level the 'lesson' is accepting that not everything has a Purpose or a Reason

i think what undertale fangames should really strive for is to push undertale's themes of mercy to the edge - push the PLAYER to see what their limits are on who deserves mercy.

#like for example.#someone who's having some sort of psychotic break and trying to hurt you. can you really justify killing them just because they were trying #to kill you? even though they would have snapped out of it eventually? even though they didn't actually WANT to kill you?#some would say you're justified to kill that person in self defense because you might have died if you didn't.#remember that there's always a power imbalance between humans and monsters. the human always has more power to end the conflict peacefully.#how about someone who's killed before? not someone like asgore or flowey where the situation's intricacies run deep.#this person simply murdered another monster because they wanted to. because they had something to gain from it #physically or emotionally. let's say he poisoned his lovely father to get his inheritence.#he is not fighting YOU to kill you for some petty gain - he's doing it for some other reason.#perhaps he's fighting you with no intent to kill - just to deter you from doing something that could ruin his life. or perhaps he intends t #kill you for a good reason.#can you justify taking his life because of what he did before?#the answers to these may seem obvious to you. but there are many who do believe it is within your right to kill these people.#this game should push them to reconsider their stance on this topic.#when you spare everyone because 'it's an undertale game and that's what you're supposed to do' sometimes you can miss out. and miss the poin #many people would be like 'i'm supposed to spare this guy? seriously? that's stupid.' and do it snyway because it's what you're 'supposed'#to do because it's an undertale game and the lesson is 'killing is bad.' they don't stop to reconsider WHY they think it's ridiculous to be #asked to spare these people.#i want to make an undertale fangame where at the beginning it says something like #'Don't just spare characters because this is an Undertale game and that's what you're 'supposed' to do. I want you to actually think about #the decision. Decide for YOURSELF what you think you should do in these situations. And really consider why you feel that way. Ultimately #the choice is up to you - that's the point of the game.'

#ofmd spoilers #edizzy #ofmd #izzy hands #yeah I am not trusting another show ever again #a character is getting better/happier?#is he not part of the popular ship?#let's kill him #even though there is so much to do #sigh #should have learned my lesson already #it's either queerbaiting or bury your gays #and yeah lots of queer people on the show but that doesn't mean it's okay to kill #the one character that just accepted himself #anyway can you tell I am pissed #and the crew is just fine?#even Ed looks fine #also killing a character just to advance another character is such a trope so no thanks #myofmd

i will never justify why i like deh bc i don’t have to actually. i can just like it no qualifier needed

#this is inspired by a post but by no means a direct response #im just sick of anyone who ever says they like deh following it up with an ‘even though it sucks’#u can just say u like it #also it doesn’t suck okay it’s not problematic bc that doesn’t #doesn’t mean anything #the story isn’t trying to tell people to lie about knowing dead kids it’s not a moral lesson #the music slaps #have ur issues with it whatever but stawp with the shame #no media is without flaws #deh is not objectively bad as much as people want to believe that #honestly no one gets to clown on deh when dark romance is insanely popular on tiktok #by which I mean clearly we can understand that media doesn’t have to reflect real life morals #it doesn’t have to be pure and clean #im literally so cold rn #that’s unrelated #let people enjoy deh guilt free #let the tiktok girlies enjoy mafia stalker fiction #live and let live!#do i main tag this #dear evan hansen #deh #dear evan hansen (2021)

isaac lahey ("your father locked you in a freezer in the basement to punish you." "he didn't used to.")

"shape shifted" (teen wolf) // "cut" (catherine lacey) // "abomination" (teen wolf) // "unleashed" (teen wolf) // "motel california" (teen wolf) // "anchors" (teen wolf)

#teen wolf #isaac lahey #web weaving #child abuse tw #blood tw #like isaac's dad saying he's not angry. isaac asking scott if he's angry. when scott says no isaac asks if hes sure. cuz his dad said no to #him asking derek if he did something wrong because he feels like he's being punished #him begging scott to punish him because he feels like he did something wrong #because his dad use to assure him when isaac got hurt it Was his fault. but now things are out of order.#'feel better?' he's asking scott. he's asking himself.#also isaacs dad reassuring him that hes not angry. offering false comfort. and then lashing out at isaac.#derek saying 'come here. let me look.' he gets isaac to offer him his arm. his trust. to reach out to him. and then he breaks it. 101.#derek's trying to teach him.#but jokes on him isaac's had this lesson before.#(though it seems he never learns.)#i just got a lot of feelings about him okay

ominis · 1 year

Note

I too prefer ominis to Sebastian esp after figuring out how that sidequest ends. What choice did you make there and why? Personally I see both pros and cons to choosing both and thats making it difficult.

I pretty much always sided with Ominis, as I think he's right in most situations and he very much seems like the voice of reason in their dynamic, but yeah, the end of the questline and the decision whether or not to turn Sebastian in is very complex and that's what makes it so much fun to play! I can completely understand both decisions and I also struggled to pick one for a while.

On one hand, it's not wrong to turn him in. He's guilty. He killed someone. There's no doubt about that. And we've been watching him lose himself to the Dark Arts. Sure, we could give him another chance to get better, but what if he doesn't? What if he hurts someone else or what if he kills someone else? How many people are we willing to put at risk for Sebastian's sake? What if the only way for him to learn what he's done is for him to face those real consequences?

But on the other hand, I don't believe at all that Sebastian is a bad person deep down. He's desperate and scared and he's slowly losing the person he loves most in the world and would do ANYTHING to stop that from happening. He's not evil. He's not doing bad things for the sake of being bad. And if we turn him in, he's never going to get the chance to be better. Azkaban will destroy him.

Ultimately, I chose to disagree with Ominis at the end and let Sebastian go because I think how things ended really sets him up to actually learn from what he did. He did all of these bad things to save Anne and not only will she still die, but she will never forgive him, he lost his uncle, and destroyed his relationship with his best friend too. The Dark Arts gained him nothing. The Dark Arts made him lose everything. I think that's enough for him to learn that he needs to leave all of that alone. If he had been successful in saving Anne, I probably would have chosen differently because he would have been rewarded for the harm he caused. But I think the outcome of his story is punishment enough already.

#and when you do choose to let him go there's dialogue later that hints he did learn his lesson so i think that was the right choice imo #i will be replaying the questline multiple times though to explore all dialogue options and outcomes because it's FUN #ominis and sebastian are truly the best characters in hogwarts legacy #both so morally complex and have a lot of depth #love them sm #ominis gaunt #sebastian sallow #hogwarts legacy #hogwarts legacy spoilers #answered

The first and last time Ushijima lets either one of them ride a horse with him.

BONUS:

#click for better quality #in case tumblr doesn't like my rez and all that #haikyuu!!#ushijima wakatoshi #hinata shōyō #kageyama tobio #shiratorizawa #all three of them share a braincell #i LOVE them for that though #art #crnl's journal #VERY long tags #alright here's the pitch:#ushijima recalls their first visit and how obsessed they were with the horses and thinks #hm since they held their promise i should invite them over for a horseback lesson as a treat #ushijima loans them “borrowed” jackets and helmets and boots from the locker room for them to use #kageyama claims to have rode one before and ushijima doesn't think to ask about when #hinata has never rode one so ushijima sticks with him to explain the process #not even five minutes after letting kageyama out of his sight he gets thrown off his horse #hinata falls off his from laughing so hard at kageyama #and ushijima sits there looking at both of them for a minute #he's not sure if he's more disappointed in them or himself #both horses run away but he has to get them back to the maingrounds #obviously that means throwing them over his horse like sacks of potatoes draping a dazed hinata over an embarrassed kageyama #he won't admit it but out of the entire afternoon the first ten minutes were his favorite #to make it easier on him he asks for help from tendou and gets it from about five of the boys #simply put it did not go very well

Spoilers for Lesson 16

(There will be spelling mistakes until Tumblr let's me edit my tags without deleting the whole thing)

How come none of y'all aren't equally or atleast some what mad/hurt by Barbatos and Diavolo about what happened in Lesson 16?

Sure Belphie was the one that killed (a) Mc, but Barbatos and Diavolo knew that was going to happen in that universe and happily sent Mc. We know this because Barbatos address Mc in the lesson with a quick, "don't worry I picked the timeline where you live, Mc". Also canonically Barbatos can't use his powers without Diavolo's permission. You can't convince me that Diavolo wouldn't have known he was sending Mc to their death.

They are both complacent! They literally set Mc's death in motion!

#also on top of all that they didn't even have to do that scine they were possibly buying time to look into Mc's lineage about Lilth #actually no scratch that Diavolo probs wanted to let the brothers mostly Lucifer see Mc die #Diavolo's done weird/harsh (be it now less fucked up) punishments to his friends before #just look at the calling event or in the manga where he tell Barb to beat up the brothers for bickering during a council meeting #Dia likes watching people get punished and likes giving them maybe he though lesson 16 was a fitting punishment for us 🤷🏾‍♀️#long story short my mc would be terrified of all three of thise demons for a while #def dia and bard longer tho just b/c of how a I interpret the ending of everyone being happy Mc is Lilith's descendant #obey me #obey me brothers #obey me mc #obey me diavolo #obey me barbatos #obey me rant

boss on my nerves as hell rn, i call this man like "hey i got covid can't teach this week" and he's like "oh damn what symptoms" and i list off the classics yknow, cough, fever, running nose, can't taste or smell, lost my voice, etc and he says to me "ok get well. however you lost your voice because it's simply not used to speaking so much, you'll get used to it :)". and i just had to stare at a wall a bit after. this isn't even the first time he told me this when i was sick!!

my brother in paedagogia i may not be real good at it but i'm still screaming vocals in band practice every week. don't get me wrong, 6 hours of answering my own questions while 20 4-y/o's gaze upon me with their wondrous sunlit eyes can get silly, but i'm still pretty sure it's the covid.

#ok answering my own questions is a stretch. those kids love to chat!#however i am also on a schedule and have material to impart upon them. ill let them do storytime for as long as i'm able but i'll still #have to cut a few off! just the nature of the thing #last lesson on monday was terrible to be fair #kids were very loud and i had to talk very loudly to keep their attention #their homeroom teacher was a sweetheart though #cilly.txt #anyway. sick and withering away and such

Me sitting here like a mom watching the kids open presents on Christmas morning as I watch the MANY videos, jokes, commentary, memes and tweets about this beautiful racially satisfying moment.

#Riverfront WWF Takeover #Racially satisfying moments #That get back hits you hard #Shout out to Nathaniel Alexander for inventing the folding chair 🙌🏾#I hope those people learned a lesson #A family who provokes and bullies and assults together gets their shit rocked together #Granny can get it too #I just know all the poor slaves that lost their lives at this location were helping #How else did that chair magically appear?#They really thought they would get away with it too #You can see by how they still stayed there not expecting any consequences #I wish a long and prosperous life for everyone that is black there #The internet is FAST cause these memes have me DYING!#Lets label this event Augfifth ✊🏽#And it should be a statewide Alabama holiday and taught in schools #Okay I'm done though I can go on and on #Montgomery riverfront

just relistened to the tarot reading I got from jared in march 2021... dude. 😭 two of swords and the hanged man stuck with me the most but the other ones too which I had kind of forgotten... it was the perfect reading tbh it was exactly what I needed to hear and it really helped

description of the situation: two of swords reversed

what I could do about it: five of swords reversed

what I COULDN'T do about it: the chariot

the lesson behind it: 3 of pentacles

how it's gonna turn out: the hanged man

I'm getting so emotional now on behalf of my past self. I know I was listening to this at the time and crying.

#'lack of information needed to make a decision' man. yeah.#'you want this period of fighting to be over so you can forgive and forget' MAN. YEAH.#3 of pentacles........ that..... kind of really was the lesson behind it huh? BTW. I was gonna say. I still haven't let go and never will 🤪#but I did let go of how things were in the past. it's different now. it's good. I don't know if better but it's good. it's more than I coul #ever ask for or deserve #oh my god and the chariot being like. 'you can't do much in this situation it's up to the other person.' screams. that really was the case.#being told 'you need to let go' was really fucking heartbreaking to me at the time. sigh. it's very dear to me now though. needed to hear i #two of swords too I love her. she is my sister in suffering
