My Dark Urge has been vehemently denying any thoughts of bloodlust to their companions and has hiddentheir evil deeds whenever possible (threw a certain body in the river and played dumb about where they went, for example) so imagine my shock when everyone knew about his deep dark secret after the most harrowing night of his life.
hi I don't think this duo gets enough love, so here are my fave screenshots of Raph and Leo mirroring each other! :D
+bonus:
look at this frame! don't their poses look similar, even though they're in totally different places?? well, there's a simple reason for it! we can see raph in the driver seat, his left hand on the wheel, while the other one's searching for someting, it's symbolising his active role as leader, while leo stands alongside him, his left hand on a handhold while he gestures with the other, showing him being less active and more of a passive presence, but he's ready on his feet, it's symbolising his potential as raph's co-leader but also him not yet being ready, still gripping the safety rails instead of the driving wheel-
(nah i'm kidding- like, was it just artists drawing similar poses in one scene? oh yeah most definitively! will that stop me from over-analysing? nope! :D this basically wrote itself!)
Hi chat, breaking the sonic chain to post a singular homestuck post because ive been thinking about moirail dynamics a lot.
Don't follow me for homestuck though probably because this is the only one thats likely to break containment aside from maybe one other WIP in the future. Or do! I'm not your dad :]
What's your opinion on the headcanon that Sir Crocodile is colorblind?
i love it!!!! i hc that his alabasta outfit's was Like That because he asked robin if it looked good together and she just lied for fun, now he asks daz who actually respect him!
here a quick comparison made with this!
if he's redblind then he seems to like the yellow&blue combo!
now though that does lead to the unique and insane but hilarious question: was he born colorblind or did the dormant gene get activated after being cisswapped by iva? op world is fascinating. other question: luffy? colorblind or not? further studies needed

[ID: Digital Art in color of Trigun Maximum, characters included are Wolfwood, Elendira, and Legato in a casual meeting situation. The piece consists of orangey yellow lighting and purple shadows. Wolfwood sits on the left side, facing Elendira who’s on the right. He’s seated on a plain wooden chair with one knee up and he’s holding the strap to his Punisher in his left hand while his right sits against his thigh, He has an irritated expression as he speaks to Elendira. Elendira is sitting in a fancier seat, her right arm rests against Wolfwood’s propped up knee, her left hand holds her suitcase. She’s sitting cross legged with an amused expression. Legato can be seen in the back at the center of the image in his mobile body case, one of his eyes shown to be glaring at Wolfwood. End ID]
[ID: Sketch, uncolored comic. Elendira says to Wolfwood, “I’m not telling you to dedicate yourself to him, but just accept the situation at hand. We could get along better if we were on the same page.” Wolfwood responds, “Don’t peg me me for an optimist. I’m not dumb. But, I’m also not going to just live in resignation. Plus, I don’t have any interest in getting along with ya.” Elendira coos, “Aw, you sure? I have a wonderful shoulder to cry on when the weak people you’re trying to protect eventually dies in the coming months. Though, I guess it’s fine. Someone like you might just die before then anyway...” She snickers in her hand while Wolfwood is speechless and just glares. Legato is faintly drawn in the back, glaring at Wolfwood, muttering “worthless” repetitively. End ID]
Ladybug falls asleep on chat's shoulder as they watch the sunset, or while they rest during patrol. This becomes more than just a one time occurrence and Chat loves being able to be someone she can let her guard down and rest besides.
Overtime he learns that she sleeps like the dead, like she's a rock and cannot be woken. That's when he has fun with it (still careful to not disturb her), it starts with marker mustaches to shaving cream to braiding her hair.
Once Ladybug wakes up to see her hair in a horribly messy braid and a very proud chat.
That's when it starts. Every time Ladybug falls asleep or rests her head on his shoulder or lap, Chat braids her hair. He gets better over time and then he starts perfecting other styles, french braids, dutch braids, double buns, crown braids etc.
It gets to the point that Chat stays up watching hairstyling YouTube videos for Ladybug. He gets great at all of them and each time learns something new and soon starts making up his own hairstyles he thinks will suit Ladybug. At times he's like a salon lady that ladybug just rants to while he does her hair and he just hums saying "hmm yes absolutely I get you, you shouldn't have to deal with that, now chin up I need to get this"
Ladybug gets him to do her hair whenever she has to go to a party or event after she discovers that the hair stays the same after transforming back ( also that Chat gently styling her hair with full focus is the most relaxing and delightful experience ever).
Eventually, from time to time ladybug will show up to an akuma attack ready to fight with a majestic hairstyle, that changes each time.
This turns into kinda a conspiracy about how and why this happens and Ladyblog has polls on what fans suspect her next hairstyle to be and what they want her hairstyles to be. ( Chat looks through these for inspiration but mostly scoffs at how simple some hairstyles are and how he can do better.)
A frustrating development with the growing lack of reading comprehension I've personally noticed is an emerging fervor of insisting things aren't canon unless they are explicitly stated beyond all reasonable doubt.
I can not emphasize enough how harmful a mindset this is to have. Yes, it's wonderful to have characters outright say "I'm trans," but to deny a character's identity for not saying that is dangerous.
Plenty of real people prefer not to use specific labels. Historically, people didn't have our modern terms or modes of expression. Many modern cultures don't use these terms, either, and plenty of people within those that do can't safely openly identify.
If the only representation you accept as canon is within modern (and let's be honest, wealthy white able-bodied American) standards, then you are denying yourself and others a huge amount of representation and seriously limiting the media around you.
