someone has to say it. etho is a horrifically unreliable narrator. probably as much as scar is. he’s just sneakier about it so people are less likely to expect it and more likely to fall for his facades
What’s a better way to celebrate the last day of black history month than with another Lucas and Erica drawing. I really wanted to make sure I got this done by today!!
One of the things I love so much about Vash and Wolfwood is how much they are both sides of the same coin. I know everyone and talks a lot about their moral differences but the one aspect I appreciate is how each one represents the different sides of how old trauma, especially childhood trauma, makes you feel.
On Vash’s side there’s the metaphor about how trauma can make you feel so so so much older than you really are. About how being an abused kid means having to grow up far too quickly and feeling like you’ve lived far too long and been through far too much even when you’re young.
On Wolfwood’s side is the metaphor of how trauma can make you feel so so so much younger than you really are. About how being an abused kid often also means you never learn how to “properly” be an adult so you end up still feeing like a kid inside well into adulthood.
Truly many many essays could be written about how trauma and grief and anger and everything else is addressed and represented in Trigun.
sooo.. what's the plan, Gustavo? Try and get Peppino back to the pizzeria?
-spoon
Gustavo: "Precisely! And the moment I find Peppino, I'll be able to get his help in finding the others! We'll get out for good this time, no bones about it!"
Gustavo: "Theeeeere we go, there's my stop!"
Gustavo: "... Oh. This... it's that weird restaurant again. Awful dark this time around, though... Peppino wouldn't be hiding in here, would he?"
Gustavo: "... Should've never come to this damn tower in the first place..."
Do you think Tubbo would recognize the path Bad is going down, because it's one he's already walked down on?
This self-destructive behavior coming from a broken heart?
He hasn't seen Bad at his best, before the eggs got kidnapped. He's seen him a victim to grief more than a father. It's why the blue staining Bad's being isn't out of the ordinary.
But suddenly he starts carrying flowers to remind him of the love he lost, suddenly the void calls out his name even louder and suddenly Tubbo sees himself in the older demon.
And it's scary, because suddenly he sees what he has become, how it affects others.
And for the first time of many, he sees Bad walk down a road he's paved. For the first time of many, Bad is the one repeating Tubbo's mistakes.
You know the main character’s being a manipulative little shit when the story stops speaking from their perspective and only speaks from the others around them’s perspective
i still can't believe dean slept with anna "cas mirror" milton titanic style the minute they met and she touched the handprint while they were going at it. what in the hays code
man i love that character. you know, the deeply paranoid author who made a pact with a dark entity that ultimately ended with him stranded in another dimension separated from his loved ones for years at a time? takes place in the pacific northwest? has twin imagery associated with him and a reoccurring specific piece of symbology related to the unfortunate situation they're in? doesn't ever explain the reasoning behind his actions and instead just kinda goes "bro trust me"? yeah he also wears an outer layer of clothing with elbow pads on it, that one.
