making crappy memes about my comic instead of working on it

One of my favorite parts of phase 2 (and indeed one of the few moments I resonated with IDW Prowl) was when the neutrals were coming back to Cybertron and Prowl said that he refused to let Autobots be pushed aside and overruled after they were the ones who fought for freedom for 4 million years (the exact wording escapes me atm).

And I mean, that resentment still holds true even once the colonists come on bc like. As much as it's true that Cybertron's culture is fucked up, and as funny as it can be to paint Cybertronians as a bunch of weirdos who consider trying to kill someone as a common greeting not important enough to hold a grudge over.... The colonists POV kind of pissed me off a lot of times, as did the narrative tone/implications that Cybertronians are forever warlike and doomed to die by their own hands bc it just strikes me as an extremely judgemental and unsympathetic way to deal with a huge group of people with massive war PTSD and political/social tensions that were rampant even before the war?

Like, imagine living in a society rife with bigotry and discrimination where you get locked into certain occupations and social strata based on how you were born. The political tension is so bad there's a string of assassinations of politicians and leaders. The whole planet erupts into an outright war that leads (even unintentionally) to famine and chemical/biological warfare that destroys your planet. Both sides of the war are so entrenched in their pre-war sides and resentment for each other that this war lasts 4 million years and you don't even have a home planet any more. Then your home planet gets restored and a bunch of sheltered fucks come home and go "ewww why are you so violent?? You're a bunch of freaks just go live in the wilderness so that our home can belong to The Pure People Who Weren't Stupid And Evil Enough To Be Trapped In War" and then a bunch of colonists from places that know nothing about your history go "lol you people are so weird?? 🤣🤣 I don't get why y'all are fighting can't you just like, stop??? Oh okay you people are just fucked up and evil and stupid then" ((their planets are based on colonialism where their Primes wiped out the native populations btw whereas the Autobots and OP in particular fought to save organics. But that never gets brought up as a point in their favor)) as if the damage of a lifetime of war and a society that was broken even before the war can just magically go away now that the war is over.

Prowl fucking sucks but he was basically the only person that pointed out the injustice of that.

And then from then on out most of the characters from other colonies like Caminus and wherever else are going "i fucking hate you and your conflicts" w/ people like literal-nobody Slide and various Camiens getting to just sit there lecturing Optimus about how Cybertronians are too violent for their own good and how their conflicts are stupid, with only brief sympathetic moments where the Cybertronians get to be recognized as their own ppl who deserve sympathy before going right back to being lambasted.

Like I literally struggled to enjoy the story at multiple points because there was only so much I could take of the characters I knew and loved being raked over coals constantly while barely getting to defend themselves or be defended by the narrative so like. It was just fucking depressing and a little infuriating to read exRID/OP

Had a dream last night about Good Omens season 2, like I was dreaming about watching the show, and part of the plot involved Aziraphale leaving behind powerful feelings of love during significant moments in his relationship with Crowley, like the Blitz book miracle moment.  

Like - the same way Aziraphale could sense Adam’s love for Tadfield?  Like that, but it’s Aziraphale’s love for Crowley that is so strong in some particular moment that it permeates the time and place, an ineffable and indelible mark.  The minisodes show each moment, the exact moment when some interaction happened between them that caused Aziraphale to feel overwhelming love for Crowley.

And somehow a demon (that new one maybe? Furfur?) can sense this love and he’s been secretly watching/spying on Aziraphale and Crowley because he’s upset (jealous? angry? disgusted?) that another demon could inspire such feelings from an angel and this demon wants to destroy Aziraphale to punish Crowley because he hates the idea of one demon being special/different enough to have earned an angel’s love.

the second arc of hellsing

hypothetically if i had written a 5000+ word ppkm fic in which absolutely nothing happened except for them being a little queer and a little dysfunctional would u guys read it

i will never not find it hilarious that they completely forgot to animate patty at the very end of the final cutscene in the last three frames of the whole group

and the dub didn't even give her voiced lines when everyone was shouting they so the localization forgot about her too

i binged 13's seasons in prep for the release tomorrow. and um. um. why did no one say how freaking insufferable she is...

GUYS FRANKIE IS NON-BINARY IN THE REBOOT HOLY SHIT

OUR DREAM OF CANON LGBTQ+ CHARACTERS IN MONSTER HIGH HAS FINALLY COME TRUE

(Also I have no idea why the closed captions read “say them” when Frankie clearly says “they, them”)

…I could put on airs like that, but with you it’s no good. You’re a typical, generic savior-type protagonist. Loved by the readers, loved by the characters, loved even by the plot. Boring. Short cuts aren’t my style. I can’t talk about you, and you don’t have enough value. 

this evaluation of hakuno's character (thanks hans christian andersen) and titles and roles............ really reminds me of the other side of the coin for hakuno's dilemma with being a nameless nobody– losing sight of yourself from taking on too many roles and names 🫠 it's pretty interesting though cuz i can see shades of it with hakuno too ! albeit in a very different way..

real quick tho YES I KNOW A LOT OF THIS IS JUST BECAUSE OF SELF INSERT PROTAG REASONS (DEROGATORY) 🥹 but hakuno deserves better than that!!! so i prefer 2 look at it in a different way 4 my hakuno 🫶

"hakuno" doesn't know herself, hakuno is useless, but she can do her best to fulfill whatever's expected from a role like the "leader" or "hero" that a situation might call for. hakuno can't find value in herself, so she tries to get it from others and fulfilling what they want and what they need. she's good at following guidelines for what's expected from others but lacks that for herself as an individual, if that makes sense.

it's a very integral part of hakuno's character! even when she doesn't understand how she feels, she's always thinking of others and acting with them in mind. but i gotta make it clear that she's no actor!! she's just stepping up to the job in her own way. i like 2 think of it as something like water filling the shape of the glass it's put into.

doing that and taking up whatever role she has to comes from necessity rather than hakuno wanting to be something bigger than herself. hakuno sees a problem that only she can fix, and is willing to do a lot in order to fix it. (<- what we see in canon too from fate/extra when she acts in the way of a "martyr" and in ccc when she takes on the role of being "president") whether she likes it or not isn't something she thinks about, but on a deep down, it's really just something she takes on to make up for her self-perceived flaws.

trying to fit into these roles could be an attempt to find herself too in a way..... hakuno's always been concerned about the meaning and purpose of her life, so she could try to find her own self worth in this way. she'll always think of it as titles that don't suit her though :,) cough impostor syndrome cough. i can imagine her trying become someone "worthy" of it, but she'll still feel undeserving in the end for one reason or another. it never feels enough, it never feels right, there's always going to be a sense of disconnect for her.

I can’t speak of something that isn’t there. Hakuno Kishinami. You still have nothing at all.

it's because she still doesn't know who she is </3 the lack of a personal identity that is so essential to being a person is something that just can't be fixed in this way. taking up roles and living up to others' expectations could maybe provide a temporary happiness or gratification for hakuno (via gaining affection and praise through being useful because that's something she's never had), but at the end of the day hakuno won't be satisfied with that. it's a shallow reasoning and even if she obtained the love she may have desired, it'd feel misplaced because it's a love that she got for being something that she feels like she isn't.

remember– all hakuno ever wanted was to live. she's a really simple gal! i'd say that at the moment, she's just grateful to have her basic survival needs met and still wants to find herself and become her own person, but she doesn't have any grand goals or ambitions. though she might not realize it herself, what she really wants is just a normal life tbh :,) live a normal life, die a normal death and afterwards, she'd want to be remembered as "hakuno kishinami" rather than a "hero" or "savior" or "protagonist" or any other grandiose title or role

I have to ask about good dog bad dream <3

🥰🥰 oh i was HOPING for this one. ok so y’all may actually know a little bit already because it exists in the tags as tyler borzoituzzi but! good dog bad dream is the working document title/notes compilation for a fic that started with the premise of “well you see that’s actually not a dog that’s my blorbo from my hrpf shifter wolf au—”

and, because i have never formally addressed it or put it anywhere other than the tags, three important details about this fic:

this IS a semi-au fic about the detroit red wings, set vaguely in the 2018-19 season, because the wings sucked that year (but not as bad as 2019-20)

this is ALSO a fic that is mainly about tyler bertuzzi and dylan larkin, with some other wings thrown in because i've never met an ensemble i couldn't shove into a love story

this 100% exists because of mickey redmond calling tyler a junkyard dog every chance he gets and me every time going "okay but what if literally though" -> 🐺

fluffy wonu has reached 5k 🫠

ok but this last episode of doom patrol really said 'we're doing uncomfortable camp bc even we can't keep up real quirky when it comes to fucked up relationships with fathers'

I remember you is just such an episode man !! It makes me so sad, Marceline’s and Simons relationship is one of my favorite parts of the show and !! I remember you is just really really good,, (I just want to talk to you ab adventure time, I am giving you intense autism creature stare rn)

Ur so right bestie I Remember You really is The Most Episode Ever. Marcy and Simon make me feel shrimp emotions their relationship is so bittersweet.

Like. He doesn’t remember her at all, consciously he has no idea who she is, he has no idea who Anyone is. And yet time and time again he has sought out and followed Marcy form house to house through both of their immortal lives. And even tho Simon has never remembered her before, she still held out hope that this time would be different. She still hoped that maybe this time he would know who she was, she wants him to remember she needs him to remember. And they’re both just so distraught about it but they cant get themselves to stay away, and they find a way to figure Something out because even if Simon doesn’t know who Marceline is and even if hes not the person he once was to her, they care about eachother so damn much that they want to spend time together and be in eachothers lives regardless

I just i just. Theyre so ! And the song! Fuck that song has always been one of my favourites (to be fair also one of the only ones i knew but Still)

Also! Tell things to me about Adventure Time! Ask me things! Most of what i think to say i make a post about but ur like Most of the reason im watching adventure time so like. Feel free to send me asks or message me or smthn and ill answer or add on with whatever i have to say

Just realized they never actually said the clan was moved by Tobirama. Obito never said that, Orochimaru said building the station was *as if* they were moved. Metaphorically speaking in other words. Since there’s not one word to indicate that at that time the Headquarters and the clan were put together.

The Konoha Police Force Headquarter wasn’t in the same place as the clan until Danzo proceeded to do such. Itachi Shinden shows as much when it mentions the clan was scattered all over the place rather than in one location. Tobirama just built a building. And the only way the clan was driven away was by being unallowed to have a relevant political position.

Another fun fact I realized after reading the novel.... There is a certain contradiction I noticed in it and that was the fact that the ANBU was only told to watch over the clan at that time by Hiruzen due to the crisis. Outside what Obito said back when he pretended to be Madara about it there's no hint that ANBU ever watched them over prior to that. Tobirama nor Orochimaru ever hint at it. And Orochimaru should have known, being under Danzo and all, about everything ANBU related. When in the novel it's thought to be problematic for Itachi to join ANBU it's not at all because the clan isn't meant to know about the fact that the group watched them but because they thought 'it's close to the Hokage' and that 'Tobirama would have disagreed' for that reason. When, in a parantheses, Tobirama would have only disagreed if it was a political position which was not the case.

These things answered my question of why didn't the Uchiha, if had it so badly during Tobirama's reign, attempt a coup back then as well. Since all they got was being looked at with distrust until they had proven themselves and power over the police, there was no substantial reason for one.

Posted this a bit differently somewhere else. Because I feel dumb for not realizing earlier. I’m pretty slow ig..

going through my tag for fanart to save to my computer and I was reminded about one of the things I like least about the romance and about hc as a character and it's that he's always so...eager to please? this might sound like a weird complaint for a worshipper/god romance but it's honestly such a pet peeve when a character is trying to like be this flawless servant with all the information who can do anything at all times. I just think it's boring! And annoying. I liked him most when he was at his most genuine and self-conscious in the cave right before the confession scene, in all honesty

Ngl ever since I watched TADC, Pomni has been rotating in my brain like rotisserie chicken. Feeling silly, might make her an F/O.
