"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOME PEOPLE THINK HAVING A CRUSH ON OLDER CHARACTERS IN FICTION IS WEIRD? I THOUGHT WE WERE ALL ON BOARD WHEN IT CAME TO STANFORD PINES, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE NOW??"

Sometimes I forget how my long distance friends look like since we mainly text and then I see them in person and I get flashbanged because they're not their profile picture

You know how Julian says the divine comedy is incomprehensible to someone who isn’t a christian; the secret history doesn’t make sense if you don’t read it as Richard Papen. To truly appreciate the book you must be Richard as long as you read it.

Always fascinated by this.

Love the effect of friendship and love on behaviour, especially that of villains or otherwise morally grey characters. This also suggests that the fundamental difference between Lord Vile and Skulduggery is love - love is what created Vile (Skulduggery losing his family and being consumed by rage) and love is what killed him too (Val’s companionship and love of Skul allowing him to move on and improve himself.)

I adore this duo so much - platonic soulmates for the win!

I’m a little obsessed with Skulduggery telling alt Vile that he’s the superior one in DotL because it’s such a fascinating trope subversion.

The typical trope is that a character who is a morally good person is faced with an alternate version of themselves who is stronger, but also evil. Then said character must battle with whether or not they value being strong or being good more.

And this is why I love Skulduggery here so much. He has spent nearly his whole life being the despicable one. He’s cruel. He’s strong and he bullies those weaker than him. Even if he is clever, he is ultimately a brute who’s spent so long being used as a weapon that he’s come to love it. He’s been strong his whole life, he doesn’t want to be strong anymore. He wants to be good in order to please Valkyrie.

And finally, he is faced with a version of himself who is even stronger than him, but also a worse person. He is finally the better person, even if that makes him weaker. He’s happy to be the good one. Even if it means getting literally dragged off and tortured, he gets to know that he’s not as awful as he could be. It is no moral battle for him, it is finally being able to claim moral victory.

And he’s never really worried, even when they take him away to be tortured. Because Vile is alone, there’s nobody in the world who loves him. Skulduggery, on the other hand, has someone who’d burn the world down for him. He doesn’t need to be stronger because he has someone he can rely on. And that’s how he gets away with claiming superiority to Vile. His growth as a character over the series has resulted in there being someone who will break him out.

Anyways, subversion of annoying tropes for the win. Skulduggery’s relationship with Vile fascinates me.

Hi so I have a friend and we call each other wife a lot and talk about people we think are pretty including each other and also also today I referred to her as "my friend who is a girl" and she replied "nuh uh I'm your girlfriend" how do I know if she likes me

i feel a bit alone here since i rarely get interactions like asks or comments... but at the same time, i love the peace. not being seen makes me less demanding of myself

Hear me out, bkdk in a west coast swing competition-

(Im not sure when i will do it but i will draw some other ships in there too🤭 if anyone wants to give any ship ideas give them to me hihihihi🤭🤭🤭)

My other favorite character died early in Death Note so WOOOO L love him

This show has accidentally made me traumatize a couple people, one of them being MY FRIENDS BOSS cause they looked over my friend’s shoulder to see who they were texting RIGHT WHEN I WAS TEXTING ABOUT HOW LIGHT WAS TWERKING ON L’S GRAVE AND I WANTED TO ANIMATE IT SHITILY AS A MEME

When you wanna make a coherent post, but your mind’s beta reader is grammarly

So what I've gathered is that Fyodor is a skinwalker.

Zuko thinks he is fooling everyone by saying it is about celebrating the only waterbender left in the southern water tribe, honouring her and the waterbending techniques that were almost lost.

But in reality everyone is aware that he just loves her so much and wants to make her happy 🥹.

Zuko makes Katara's birthday a national holiday in the Fire Nation.

As he should 😊

It’s so hard to try and describe Cicero’s “jester act” because while it is sort of an act, it’s also just the way he is too. Like it’s the way he copes with the PTSD and psychosis he went through during a period of horrible trauma for him & The Brotherhood.

It’s a way to disconnect himself from it all, like that person was someone else. Though muscle memory of being a trained assassin has him put it on hold, and when he kills a contract is the when you can see the “old Cicero” peek through a bit.

When upset he will slip back into first person, as if The Fool of Hearts can’t separate itself from Cicero anymore.

To me, Dick Grayson is straight in the way the male English teacher you thought was gay actually has a wife and kids.

TS4's ending, though rather disliked even by me, makes complete sense.

TS1 was about Woody teaching Buzz he is a toy. He is Andy's toy and Andy needs him, not Woody, but Buzz instead.

TS2 was about giving other toys the aame opportunities he has, to be there for a child. To be played with and have fun!

TS3 was Woody learning to let go. Because even if he can't see or be with Andy, he will always be Andy's toy. It's just Andy doesn't need him and Bonnie does.

TS4 at the beginning comes off as a combo. Teaching Forky to be a toy and helping Gabby Gabby have a chance. But Woody also needs to let go of not just Bonnie but also the gang, his family. Because Bonnie doesn't need him anymore and well what's a toy that isn't played with? So Woody stays, he says goodbye and stays because he's finally being selfish and it hurts but he's finally making a choice for himself. Dolly will watch over the gang, and Buzz will help. And maybe, even if just once a year, he'll get to see them again.

So yeah, it was horribly sad to see Woody stay but it was the right thing for him. Because he is Andy and Bonnie's toy, but he's a toy as well and maybe other kids need him.

“hazbin hotel has a predominantly white cast” what the fuck are you talking about

Sometimes I just like characters that go "woosh" when I draw them.

Please remember the difference between plot twist and story whiplash.

You can turn 1 of your headcanons into canon in any media. What do you choose?

Ahsoka can’t stand to look at Luke. She’ll never tell him this. It doesn’t make sense for her, a Jedi, to resent him. He saved the galaxy. He brought back Vader. He’s Skyboy, he’s her not-really-nephew. And yes, she loves him and wishes the best for him. How could she not? Yet, every time she looks at him she can only think about how he saved Anakin. About how this stranger that her master never knew meant more than his apprentice, than his sister, than her. What did she do wrong to make Anakin shove her away? Was it her fault? What’s wrong with her. How can she make it better? But in the end it’s all the past, and anguish and anger will only get her so far.

So she smiles at him because yes, she loves him. How could she not? He saved Anakin. He saved Anakin because she couldn’t.
