Here are some sketches I did of the kids (but mostly Ben and Darius) when I first started on the show! (I literally did these before reading any of the episodes so these are NOT plot-related!!!)

[oldblog-batsyheere]

I keep imagining this one scene- usually its Jason or Tim or Damian, or all the Batboys or the Batfam sitting there with cultists or the league trying to summon the ghost king- but put it as just Dick who is a little surprised that he passed the requirement of having died so he can be used to summon this eldritch being that rules the dead.

And when he's bound, placed in front of a Lazarus pit and everyone is still trying to reach him, the being is summoned- and Danny just lurches through the pit hacking and spitting and cursing because this ectoplasm is nasty, what have you people been doing to it?

And the cultists are expecting Pariah Dark. They demand he takes them to the real ghost king. And Dick just has to watch this being with snow white hair and glowing green eyes start to float up and take this sheen of other to him as he goes "yeah no".

And Dick is maybe a little drugged, and has a concussion, but he feels he has an excuse for what comes out of his mouth.

"Nightwing, come in. What's going on?"

"B, I think I found your next kid. I'm gonna marry him. Even if he climbed out of a Lazarus pit and looks a little spooky."

"-what?!"

the talos principle 2 experience in a nutshell

[doobnnoob-tf2]

The Mercs are given a tub of classic Lego. What do they build?

Scout: he builds a baseball stadium, no shock. it doesn't look great but it's easy to tell what he was going for. he even has it set up to look like there's a game going on and there's a crowd in the stands. and of course he's the one up to bat at that moment. he shows off where his Ma and brothers are all sitting, and even shows that the whole team is there too. and then he goes to show off one "person" and gets quiet and just moves on from there to show off everything else

Soldier: no one is entirely sure what he made. it's.. something, that's for sure! eventually he explains that it's a bunch of raccoons stacked on each other and using a rocket launcher. no one sees it but they all smile and nod along anyway

Pyro: they spend hours upon hours upon hours working. hoarding most of the pieces, not letting anyone see what they're doing. and when it's time to reveal, they show they've made a perfect replica of the base with one open wall to see inside and even included tiny representations of everyone on the team

Demoman: he doesn't just build one thing, he builds several things and they're all various mythical creatures. ones he says he's either seen with his own eye, or fought with his own hands. he tells each story as he presents them all and when he gets to Nessie, he drops her on the floor and smiles as the pieces shatter

Heavy: the pieces are a bit too small for his fingers, so he has a hard time getting anything together. eventually he gives up after trying way too long to build his family's cabin and instead sits back to watch everyone else

Engineer: no one knows how he does it. it shouldn't have been possible and he refuses to explain how he did it. but he made a functioning Lego Sentry that shoots out other pieces

Medic: he draws a blank at first. he spends most of his time trying to figure out what to make and before long realizes he hasn't done anything and then scrambles to just do anything. he ends up making an anatomically correct heart and started to make lungs as well but didn't finish. so he says they're just Spy's

Sniper: he starts off trying to make his campervan, but then he turns it into trying to make his dream campervan. and then that evolves into him using whatever he can to build a little desert scene around it with a campfire and cacti and so on. he gets so absorbed into it, he doesn't even realize it's time to show off what everyone made and just keeps working

Spy: at first he ignores it, saying he's above playing with toys. but while he sits and watches everyone else, he finds himself randomly snapping pieces together and eventually it turns into him making something out of it. he makes a house, and then gets up and leaves without explaining any further

Hot Take: Dia is the braincell of the Sinnoh Trio

[lexicollectschai]

Kishimoto POV showed in this tweet it's a kinda funny way to resume sonamy by one of the members of Sonic team

Literally, Kishimoto said: Yeah, Sonic is S I N G L E ...but Amy is THE LOVE INTEREST, his GIRLFRIEND

Like, we can all complain all we want about Amy, misunderstood both Sonic and Amy so they can fit our fanon/headcanons but at the end of the day, she is one of the few people who truly understands him and accepts who he is and doesn't want him to slow him down but being part of his adventures (she already is part of and an important member)

Sonic always comes back for Amy (Sonic x, Sonic Frontiers for saying few examples)

I don't understand why it's so hard for many people to understand this with all the inmense evidence we have about sonamy

That boy will do anything for her and protect her at all cost

if i see one more post about how bolas are actually evil and creating a narrative where they are “innocent victims that can do no wrong and that soulfire are all evil baddies who must be destroyed” i think ill lose it

like girl i promise they are NOT the ones spinning a narrative here 💀

[marcsnuffy]

as the tumblr's resident snuffy expert I have to ask you what you think snuffy and lorenzo's actual legal relationship is (like did he take on the role of his guardian or is he technically more of a sponsor) and furthermore what you think their dynamic is like behind the scenes. like even if you accept the idea that snuffy is more of a father figure to lorenzo than an employer there's no way that this guy who was a homeless orphan until he was a teenager and the man who took him in *on the basis that he be athletically successful* have like. a normal unremarkable parent-child dynamic

Thanks for the question, sorry about the yapping

I'm torn on how to answer the legal relationship question. To me, it depends on how old you think Lorenzo is during the flashback. I always thought he was around 15-16, so I rarely consider an option where Snuffy isn't his legal guardian. However I could see some PIFA fuckery involved to avoid any legal trouble in the case he didn't have a legal guardian involved before becoming an adult legally.

Even then the process for getting gold teeth takes more than one day (all the visits you need to get your teeth properly checked for the procedure, the healing process takes months and more visits, etc) and he was near death so I'd like to think he was taken care/supervised of by Snuffy during that time (which is why Lorenzo's so attached to him). (the amount of care is up to interpretation bc it's hc territory anyway)

After that, when Lorenzo started playing football, *then* it's more of a sponsor/employer/advisor?/mentor? situation that occasionally bleeds into guardian-adopteé territory but never completely. I think they had something similar to how Ray Dark ended up dropping Kaiser at the BM dorms, except I think Snuffy directly had a hand in training/teaching Lorenzo before and still kept somewhat in contact during. I also like to think he got him a tutor or something, but this is more so I can sleep well at night. Snuffy IS the "what will you do when football's no longer an option" guy anyway so it's not unrealistic.

I need to add somewhere in this post that I believe/know in my heart that Snuffy picking up Lorenzo happened a bit after Mick died (months, maybe a year max) and specifically because of it. Comparing dead Mick & almost dying Lorenzo was super common when ch. 229 came out so I won't elaborate much on it, I just wanted to mention it.

Dynamics wise... There's too much going on for them to be in a normal boss and employee situation, Snuffy isn't fazed by Lorenzo's antics at all, Lorenzo goes up to Barou* to convince him to succeed Snuffy while also bringing up Snuffy's promise to Mick and also just everything about Lorenzo's reaction to Snuffy going back on his retirement, he literally told Barou he loved him & offered him a gold tooth. I don't think he says that to anyone yknow

*and by the way this interaction always stands out to me, since the timeline of events is not clear at all. all bc the fucking blue lock building is built like a prison and idk what time it is. I think Snuffy&Barou´s conversation happened at least some hours or a day after the Ubers introduction bit. During Lorenzo's backstory dump they're wearing pajamas but then Snuffy tells them it's time to train, so I assume it's the morning after that. Anyway I wonder if Snuffy just told him about it or if he directly asked him to talk to Barou. I feel like it's the former (given their reactions to Barou accepting Snuffy's deal) but the setup kinda makes it feel like the latter. whatever it was I think it's evidence for me to say that Snuffy trusts Lorenzo.

And I feel like there's nothing direct I can point to to say they're close enough to have a regular parent and child relationship. Still I feel like just by having Lorenzo be a NG11 and the fact that he enjoys football and doesn't scream cry and throw up when he loses or when he is inconvenienced (THE BAR IS ON HELL) makes me think Snuffy is mostly a positive influence on him. I like to think Snuffy does care a lot about him but he's the type of guy that shows it by meddling (kinda like Reo or younger Sae (who wasn't much of a meddler iirc. this makes sense in my mind)) and just isn't that visibly affectionate with anyone anymore.

More about the father and son thing. This is also headcanon territory I'm sorry. I don't think they, like, go out fishing as a bonding thing or anything like that. but I do think they don't go a week w/out talking bc I think Snuffy's a bit neurotic about how the people he cares about are doing because of reasons and Lorenzo loves talking people's ears off about everything and nothing. I think Lorenzo tried giving him an expensive gift with one of his first paychecks and mentioned "paying back his debt bit by bit" as a joke that wasn't really a joke and Snuffy's face twisted & he said something along the lines of Lorenzo not owing him anything and it was awkward between them for a while after that. I think its fucking WEIRD but they care abt each other and that's what matters

TL;DR: I think there had to be a point where Snuffy was his legal guardian or at least acted like it to some degree. In regards to their dynamic behind the scenes, that is not a father that is a grieving tutor-guardian-mentor-advisor-employer-professional football player and his renowned domesticated possum employee/adopteé who is soooooooo normal about worth.

This half might be the best Mexico has ever played. Aside from all the yeeting of the ball, this is tactically the best I've ever seen them play. If they can keep playing like this, the sky is the limit.

The second one was supposed to be me testing expressions but I messed up the face and just went from there and it led to that. (There is actually context for it too)

Let’s say the mercenaries had a mission that required them to stay awake for the entire night. How would each of them handle it? (AKA: How do the mercs do when sleep-deprived?) ☕️

this is in order of best handled, to worst handled

Sniper: as long as he has coffee and time to take a nap beforehand, he's good to go. it won't even bother him in the slightest, his sleep schedule is fucked anyway. but he can quickly get it back to normal enough

Spy: he's used to taking jobs that require him to get up and go whenever, and sometimes with little warning. he'd be tied with Sniper, however he can't stop himself from complaining about it under his breath regardless of how well he can handle it

Heavy: it won't bother him at all, he handles it with stride. though it becomes clear that the longer and longer the night drags on, the more and more stoic he seems. and it becomes clear that he's tired and probably getting grouchy but he's just not letting it show. he won't speak or listen to anyone, and the moment the mission is over he's pushing past everyone to get right to bed

Engineer: he's had plenty of nights where he's just stayed up the whole time to work on a project, and not realize how late it was until he realizes the sun is rising. the only problem for him is it definitely takes a toll on him after, and he's very sluggish and tired the whole next day

Soldier: he can handle the job very well, without complaint and without even seeming drowsy the whole time he's doing it. the issue is the moment it's over, he'll probably fall asleep on his feet while he's being briefed on how the mission went

Demoman: he thinks he can handle it fine, and he says he can every time with full confidence. but every time, he starts falling asleep on the job midway through it. constantly jolting back upright, forgetting conversations while they're happening, and eventually just forgetting the whole mission entirely

Medic: he's been working on a formula to prevent the need for sleep, temporarily of course. only for nights he really wants to stay up and work (which is most nights). so he handles it quite well, the only reason he's not at the top is because he only handles it well until he doesn't. and when he doesn't, he doesn't. he's cranky, and that's about to be everyone else's problem

Pyro: they simply can't stay up overnight. at some point, they're gonna fall asleep on the job and there's nothing that can be done to stop it from happening

Scout: not a chance does this end well. the best outcome is he just falls asleep on the job, and someone else just takes over for him. the worst outcome is he can't. he does not handle being sleep deprived well, and becomes extremely cranky and easily agitated. they only tried giving him a nightshift twice, he fell asleep the first time and so they tried giving it to him again and that's when they were introduced to what Scout Without Sleep was like and decided never again
