i finished writing chapter 14 so no one needs to spray me with water to get me to focus (we just have to wait for my beta to wake up and double check that it's good)
Pac: Why is she sad? My god, she's devastated! Guaxinim?
Guaxinim: I think she wanted...
Gris: I want 100 reais.
Pac: She wants 100– [Laughs] She's sad because she wants 100 reais?
Guaxinim: [Innocently] You don't have 100 reais, do you?
Pac: [Laughs] I have negative 100 reais, Guaxinim. Gris, I'm just like you! I'm sad too.
Guaxinim: [Whispering to Gris] Cancel the plan, cancel the plan, go back to normal.
Pac: What do you mean? Wait, wait, wait– [Laughs] No no no–
First rule of passa tudo: make sure your target has money before trying to scam them! 😅 (Thank you to sebbs12 and disfrutalakia for double-checking my translations and transcript! The help is really appreciated!)

[ID: Two page comic in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. The first page has a black background and the upper half, behind the panels, is splattered with stylized red blood, scattered bullets, and lifeless hands. In the first panel, it focuses on Vash's boots, showing him stepping through the panel and into the bloody scene. The second panel shows his bloody footprints and the third panel shows his face, his down-turned eyes looking downwards. It's a neutral, vague expression with confliction. At the bottom of the page, the back of Wolfwood's head and shoulder is seen, blood dirtying the white color of his shirt and side of his face. Vash's hand reaches out to him from the right side of the page.
The second page shows the entire scene in full, half the page in light and the other in solid black. At the center, Vash leans down onto his knees as he wraps his arms around Wolfwood's shoulders into a hug. Wolfwood's back is turned away from the viewer, his left arm holds onto his bloodied punisher and his right hand sits on his lap. Light casts from the left side of the page, showing the bloodied surrounding, but the held up punisher casts a shadow on the both of them, shielding them from the light. END ID]
I still think about how Leo’s ideal day out for the fam’s venture into the Hidden City was basically just an effort to get some rest and relaxation because boy does he never get that ever.
Deacon def knows all the companions but as like another person.
That guy Hancock spent a day hanging around with that had the oddest pair of shades? Deacon. The humble merchant Danse asked for directions and sent him on his way? Deacon making sure the BoS wasn’t close to RR HQ. That rando heckler that would weirdly know how to personally throw Cait’s opponents off their game? Deacon.
It’s like he’s not intentionally following them, not all of them at least but he’s stumbled into some and decided to be a little mischievous. This goes doubly when if they already encountered the Soul Survivor and just hadn’t traveled with them yet.
Nononono you don't understand, I've been staring at this gif for like a solid minute just watching Ambrosius's little tiny expressions and the slightest upturn of his eyebrows and the miniscule narrowing of his eyes on top of already pursed lips just- GIRL THAT'S THE EXPRESSION I MAKE WHEN I'M ABOUT TO CRY. HE LOOKS PAINED. AMBROSIUS LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE HE COULD CRY AND THEN HE PUSHES IT AWAY WHEN HE SAYS TO ARREST THEM, I AM UNWELL-
No Yiga can resist the call of "Glory to Master Kohga," its just instinct
[ID: A four panel comic of Impa and Dorian from Tears of the Kingdom. Impa wears her updated Tears of the Kingdom outfit with a large, straw hat strips of fabric hanging down on the sides. In the first panel, she's lifting her hat and holding her walking staff, saying "Welp, I'm off." She then walks by Dorian, standing guard at the foot of the stairs of her house. "Farewell, Lady Impa," he says to her as she passes. "Bye-bye. Take care of Paya for me," Impa replies, not looking up as she passes. "Glory to Master Kohga," she adds. "Glory to Master Ko--" Dorian begins but stops himself. In the next panel they've both stopped, Dorian's eyes wide as Impa silently looks at him. In the fourth panel there's a close-up of Impa's face, smiling devilishly and ominously lit from the side. Dorian, in the background, is drawn more cartoony, looking caught. \end ID.]
You know, I'm not convinced that Charles actually likes Crystal as more than friends.
They're obviously good friends - Charles likes Crystal's snark the first day they meet, and is sympathetic to her issues; she in turn challenges him in ways Edwin doesn't, and he can talk to her about things he doesn't talk to Edwin about.
(I suspect he's afraid Edwin won't understand, like with his anger at being dead, or would feel hurt or even jealous, like with his parents - Edwin's being very dead and all. They're both very clearly afraid of losing the other, although it's played out more obviously from Edwin. Crystal breaks that stalemate - she needs them, and isn't going to leave over Charles's issues or Edwin's masks.)
But he starts flirting before they even really know each other, based just on "cute girl = flirt". And he never really escalates past that - he's not pushing for closeness, he's earnest in his attempts to help but there's no sense of desire behind it. He doesn't talk about her when she's not around, doesn't sigh or smile or make eyes at her or anything, except for the occasional "oh right, flirting!" moment. When he kisses her, it's in reaction for her demand for something real - and it seems to catch them both by surprise. Once they're "together", he's ready to kiss whenever they're alone, but easily accepts Crystal's request to just be friends.
Charles says that what he misses most about being alive is kissing (that and spaghetti :) ). Even when he kisses Crystal, he admits he can't feel it - it's only in his head.
I don't think Charles actually has a crush on Crystal. I think he misses being alive, and all the things that come with it - flirting and kissing and being a 16 year old boy daydreaming about the prettiest girl in class. I think he saw Crystal, a girl his age who was 1) alive and 2) could see him, and was so excited about the possibility of something that he jumped right in with both feet.
Crystal, meanwhile, feels like she's on the nicer kind of rebound - Charles is nice, and sweet, and backs off when she says no, unlike her abusive ex. He's a safe person to get back in the game with and feel good dating, and can help her learn to trust again.
Give them a few months and they'll figure it out. Once the novelty wears off, they'll both realize they're just fine as friends, and move on together :)
sometimes I see videos of young max (like toddler, little kid) and then think of how vile jos was to him like Max seemed like such a sweet little baby and jos was like hmm, how can i ruin him
When people say that Duke isn't one of Batman's kids and I have to pull out my collection of panels proving otherwise
(I literally have one that has him calling himself Batman's son, and saying Bruce was like a father to him)
okay nonny to be Perfectly frank I argue about this with myself (and fellow duke stans) all the time and im Sure this is not what you were thinking about when you sent this ask, i too have seen assholes saying that duke isn't part of the family for Reasons, i think he is part of the family full stop, HOWEVER
im a big "non nuclear family" found family batfam truther lmao, i have a chart that i made that is about half done about my relationship headcanons between bats
to make a long story short i Love Duke as Bruce's kid, do not get me wrong on that, i love to write it, i love to read it, but i think a better story would be what im calling "Uncle Bruce" in my head, Bruce is Duke's friend, and when his parents are better, their friends as well
Bruce is Duke's mentor, his friend, his foster father, etc. Duke's whole mission as a vigilante is driven by his relationship to his parents, he becomes a vigilante For Them, not to prevent this from happening again like Bruce, not to avenge them like Dick, not despite them like Cass and Tim and Steph, For Them to save Them
to me, its almost disrespectful for Duke to (within a year or so) of losing his parents turn around and call this (rich, white) man "dad"
Duke has a family, he doesn't need Bruce, he doesn't need the bats, but he Likes them so they become bonus family. As a kid, i had many "uncles" and "aunts" that were my parents friends and i love them like they are family, because they are
i think Duke and Bruce can be family without having to be his son, i think Duke and Cass and Damian etc can be siblings without them Being Siblings
