Machete and Vasco are so pomegranate-and-the-hand-that-slices coded. To me.

Pomegranates are seen as messy, bloody, inconvenient fruits. You slice or tear or bite and in return for your effort you come away underwhelmed, disgusted, and stained too deep to wash. The consumption of a pomegranate is a violent act of defilement, for both the fruit and the eater.

But that is because most do not understand how to open a pomegranate. They have little patience for the precise carving. They see no point in coreing the fruit gently, no reason to be reverent as they pull the quarters apart. When done correctly, opening a pomegranate leaves little mess. Your fingers will still stain, your knife will still slick, but there will be no pool of crimson drowning both you and the fruit.

The seeds are only sweet to those who understand the merit of a light hand and intricate slicing. Why put in so much effort for a food so bitter and clearly armored against consumption? Surely it must not yearn to be eaten.

(^insane about silly catholic dogs)

.

#absolutely losing my mind over this #how dare you come to my house and deliver a poignant character analysis cloaked in metaphors and symbolism #I went all day thinking about pomegranates #doing late christmas shopping? pomegranates #glazing ham? pomegranates #watching futurama with siblings? pomegranates #they're still kind of an exotic fruit where I'm from and I only got around to trying one a handful of years ago #some fruits offer themselves readily but pomegranates are hard and resistant and require a bit more specific handling #I looked up a guide and even then the kitchen counter ended up a murder scene #I've gotten better but I know some people can open them very neatly and I still haven't figured out the right technique #I love you anon I love the fact that you've clearly been rotating my silly catholic dogs in your head #and are able to put your thoughts into words with such marvelous grace and eloquence #surely it must not yearn to be eaten UNFATHOMABLE #answered #anonymous #gift art #Vasco #Machete #pomegranates are canonically one of Machete's motifs/symbols but I never thought of them from this angle #at least not this extensively

Being a batfam fan is funny because people will make a post like “here’s my headcanon-“ and it’s just something that’s directly canon to the story then post about major canon events and get everything wrong.

#this post was inspired by me remembering the experience of reading death in the family #after only knowing the fanbase version and realizing oh none of that shit happened okay #like girl you don’t understand it’s so bad #Jason wasn’t even fired as Robin #He’s not accused of murdering anyone by Bruce #He’s not trying to prove himself at all he’s just looking for his mom #The reason Bruce didn’t go after him right away is because he was tracking down a goddamn nuke the Joker stole #Then after he finds it and handles the problem he helps Jason track down moms 2 and 3 #Also Jason died in like 20 minutes?? even less??#He died in less time than it took his mother to smoke a cigarette #Bruce literally went ‘wait here I’ll be right back’ and was gone for less time than a trip to the grocery store #and then you go into the Jason Todd tag and they act like Bruce pulled the damn trigger on him #Like besties I don’t know how to tell you this he basically did everything right he possibly could have #Even him benching Jason from Robin temporarily happens so that he can get Jason into therapy about his trauma #Like the whole point is that neither of them did anything wrong bad shit just sometimes happens #That’s the tragedy. The drama.#Bruce couldn’t have made better choices in the position he was in and Jason was never going to make different ones #It was inevitable #Anyway rant over please read death in the family before I lose my mind #batfam #batman #jason todd #tim drake #dick grayson #damian wayne #bruce wayne

Do you all ever think about how Fitz must have felt immediately after the Fool's Fate breakup? Like, before he begins properly courting Molly and using that as an escape, back when he still lives in Buckkeep? He largely speeds through this era in his narration, but how was it actually like for him, living through it day by day?

Waking up in the bed of Chade's workroom, expecting to feel the Fool's back against his, but then realizing that no one's there. Listening to nobles and servants gossip about Lord Golden and when asked, having to come up with some sort of an explanation, all the while trying not to show just how much even the mention of him hurts.

Walking past the door to Lord Golden's chambers and resisting the urge to try to pull it open, just in case the Fool might still be there (even if he knows that it would be impossible). Reciting the poem the Fool left him over and over in his mind, searching for any clue that might hint to his return, yet finding nothing. Drinking apricot brandy alone.

For the first time since he was a boy, having to live without either his Wit-bond to Nighteyes, or his Skill-link to the Fool. All by himself, entirely disconnected from the two beings who made him whole.

#i got carried away imagining this and now im very very very sad #but for real. we know how badly fitz handles losing the people he loves #we saw how he reacted to nighteyes and molly's deaths and to chade briefly abandoning him in AA and to burrich and molly's 'betrayal' in AQ #yet this is the one 'mourning period' he refuses to describe at all. and it happens immediately after he regains his full emotions #so it really can't have been good #rote #realm of the elderlings #rote spoilers #fool's fate spoilers #fool's fate

the archon human and the people she couldn’t save

#genshin impact #genshin fanart #lumine #furina #furilumi #i did furinas story quest yesterday #i definitely have Thoughts about it and how things were handled #but i liked the resentment people held towards her in poisson #don’t get me wrong i LOVE furina #and i often see posts saying furina deserves better which she does but #imagine the person in charge of your country #the person you look to #the star of fontaine #the person the spotlights focus on #is a complete and utter fraud #imagine being a mother and losing your child because someone was parading around as an archon #obviously that’s not the whole story but the public don’t know that and that adds so many interesting perspectives and opinions #small details like that is why i like genshin and it’s world building #i didn’t mean to ramble whoops

It’s easy for people to criticize protectors for how we react to perceived threats —

Some of us get defensive, some of us get loud, or completely freeze up, or run for safety, or suddenly collapse and can’t move, or become mute, or have extreme fawn reactions … and to the outside, it seems over the top.

Or maybe you think it’s not fair that we saw you as a threat because you got angry and yelled. Maybe you think it’s childish that we sprinted out of the house or scary that we kicked into “fight” mode.

We had to identify threats fast. We had to do what it took to survive. To protect our system and our physical body and mind.

And we can and should learn to react more proportionally. But our instincts aren’t ridiculous or made to victimize you. They made sense in the traumatic environment that created us. They’re the only reason we’re still here now.

We still fall back on that because it worked and we survived.

what is going on??? why are disgusting ppl harassing you?

Basically, there was a falling out between friends that lead to one party (Winndy) sharing their side to clear up a situation that was taken out of privacy and made public in a discord after they had left said discord while using very damning language that shouldn’t have been stated in the first place. I responded with my thoughts and opinions, which oppose a big creator in the VN community space, and because of it not only I but the other people who have defended Winndy became the target of harassment. I’ve read in catching up since getting off of work that it was a group of friends within the community (specifically the one this game pertains to) who decided to bully us because they thought we were coming after a game they liked. Real people’s lives could have been jeopardized, but…sure. Hope they had “fun” while defending a png.

You’re free to go back and read on my blog or others involved with the situation for further context, but I’ll warn you that there’s an instance of the r-slur being used on top of some really gross racist remarks.

I’m okay by the way, I was prepared for some sort of Anongeddon, I’m just sad how fast it turned into throwing around slurs, being transphobic and threatening to send terfs into the situation (which btw could get people killed or worse), telling people to kys, and blatant racism in response to discourse and disagreements over a falling out.

#si speaks #sorry you all have to see it really #but I refuse to just fold over just because people think it’s okay to do this shit #I leave anon on for multiple reasons- but the main one is that it’s because I know how to handle them #especially if they get too bad #and I’m going to be honest #if I got or EVER get a message that is telling me to kys or sending me death threats #you’re LOSING the grace of being anonymous- I WILL post your blocked account to my page #you’re taking responsibility for that shit

Okay it’s 3am and I have to be at my first day of work at my new job in seven hours.. but I just had a THOUGHT.

So hear me out- Jay can control electricity. Obviously.

But has anyone else considered the idea of him being able to basically mind control other people?? Or hack their bodies?? Since humans literally run on electrical impulses??

Now I know Nya can’t draw the water out of his lungs, but that doesn’t mean that using your element inside someone else’s body is impossible. Maybe that’s just confined to other elemental masters. And of course I haven’t seen DR yet (two episodes away from finishing Crystallized!! I’ll have caught up with DR by this time next week for certain), but I’ve heard a lot of discussion about Jay coming back as a villain in S2… can you imagine how absolutely batshit of a villain Jay concept would be if he came back and just mind controlled people?? And it would totally tie into his cult leader antics as well (I’m still so sad that the League of Jays was pretty much abandoned after the first couple episodes… it was such a funny concept and could’ve actually been used for some fantastic plot/character development … but… alas :( )

Anyway. Basically all that to say I just got smacked in the face with a new Villain Jay idea and I’m soooo going to start using him for fic stuff. Maybe I’ll even tie it in to the AU concept I’ve been working on for a while.. maybe..

#Ninjago #lego ninjago #Jay Ninjago #jay walker #villain Jay walker #I haven’t talked about my AU concept yet but I’m really in love with it HAH #we get lots of angst.. and it primarily focuses on Zane and Pixal since they’re the only two left for like a thousand years #basically all the rest of the cast merge with their elements for plot reasons #but Zane either can’t cause he’s a robot #or refuses because the people of Ninjago still need a protector #so he and Pixal stay #and the other former ninjas become old deities/gods #no one believes they actually ever existed #but they worship them as divine beings #they’ve passed into myth and legend and Zane and Pix are pretty haunted by losing them and being the only ones to remember their lives #eventually they will come back but they wil probably be wrong and my Nindroids won’t know how to feel or handle it #I can’t wait to write that actually #but Jay getting reanimated as a villain would be sooooo rad

you are watching mythic quest season 3. i am watching the mythic quest season in my mind where cws death has an actual effect on most of the characters that prompts their development. we are not the same

#someone ask me to elaborate (PLEASE)#jk i’ll do it anyways #i just think that. for me death is something that is very emotional and to see it unutilised here is disappointing to say the least #like the fear of death coping with loss is something i KNOW these fuckers aren’t equipped to handle #and it doesn’t effect all of them and it’s not cw all centric #ian has a midlife crisis rachel loses her creative mentor david starts thinking about death and how people will #remember him (s2ep8 callback) we even saw brad moved at that bit to stay close to your friends!#poppy is too shunned to care dana is too emotionally healthy and doesn’t know cw that well jo. jo #david being in this state can also help brad show jo he’s weak (seeds of doubt in david’s leadership)#and ALSO dana not having an emotional reaction to cws death can also create #more of a rift between her and ian because it’s something she just can’t relate to #ian also mourning in silence also would’ve been so much fucking sadder after sarian knowing the two parental figures that admired and #inspired his creativity are gone #god #this show is evil anyways #also i have a long sad letter cw would write rachel from the grave would y’all like to see that #mythic quest #kaitlinshottakes #poppy li #brad bakshi #ian grimm #cw longbottom #jo mythic quest #rachel mythic quest #dana mythic quest

justifying a "failed timeline" aka: let's give Batman Beyond a distinct event that sets it apart from the DC multiverse

So. As we all know. Comics are nuts. They are constantly shifting timelines and labels. They created Elseworlds and alternate timelines to deal with that, to sort and return to it if they wanted to.

Technically the DCAU world is Earth-12, a world set decades in the future from the world we follow. The current Batman Beyond run of comics is set there. It's also inside the "cartoon rim" a group of worlds that are/are close enough to the animated series and animated movies.

The designation "12" has been used multiple times so just be aware when you are researching.

But Batman Beyond has this different tone that the original shows have, even Justice League Unlimited never really dove into. Batman is isolated, Bruce Wayne is in a dusty manor, the Justice League is short about 20 members at least...the list goes on.

tl;dr: Batman Beyond world is so cyberpunk, desolate, and isolated because in the Near-Apocalypse of '09, Wonder Woman dies.

At the time of Batman Beyond in the DCAU, they didn't have the rights to portray Wonder Woman. Instead they used Big Barda in their Justice League episode (which, happily, was proof of concept for the Justice League series) . They only got her in the Justice League series proper. And if the DCAU is a connected universe...what happened to Diana?

(yes I know she shows up in the follow up comics. But again - alternate timelines.)

so. speaking of alternate universes. Earth 50, the Justice Lord universe as seen in JL s2 eps11 and 12 "A Better World".

Wasn't it implied in Justice League that the Flash's death caused the Justice Lords to take over the world? That Flash's personality and interactions with the League prevents them from going too far? Stopping them from becoming too serious?

I submit to the Fandom that the main divergence point of the DCAU (or at least, post JLU into Batman Beyond) timeline is Wonder Woman's death. Presumably in this "near apocalypse of '09", which was mentioned in s3 ep 4 "Out of the Past" but not followed up on.

This explains why Diana never shows up to talk with Bruce. That the Future Justice League is so small compared to the ranks in their self titled show. Once their heaviest hitter was gone, it broke the trust in keeping them together. The lack of magic in the world. The loss of heroes that actually don't have trauma, that just want to help. The lack of Truth, the reliance on lies and masks to make a difference.

anyway: Fandom Homework/Class discussion:

What would the DC universe look like if we kill off one of the Seven Founding Justice League Members? That is Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, and The Flash (we did that one, but you can redo it if you want.)

What does each of the Core 7 bring to the team? What do they guard against? How does the team fall apart without their input?

And if you have a super team you like, i.e. Teen Titans, Young Justice, Avengers, ThunderCats, the Gaang, etc. Use your creative muscles to push them around and see what makes them tick. It is fun. It will hurt.

(bonus points if you reference Community s3 ep 4: Remedial Chaos Theory. All those relationships collide so beautifully in that ep.)

Thank you.

#dcau #fic prompt #batman beyond #justice league unlimited #wonder woman #diana prince #diana of themyscira #dc comics #terry mcginnis #earth twelve #bruce wayne #...martian manhunter stans where are you??? i dunno anything about that man #but boy oh boy do i want to see you gush about how important he is #lazlo's lulls #and also - diana dead means that no one else has the steel for killing others and staying steady - of course Bruce would pick up some slack #but Bruce can't handle killing without losing his mental state you know

I've always wanted to ask how you can draw an oc that you know has a bad end/dies in their story. You are stronger than me and I'd love to know what motivates you

I know I'm in a minority on this and most OC creators don't think about their characters' deaths, but it's never bothered me much honestly. The way I see it, if I know how their life starts and how it ends, it's much easier to figure out what happens in the middle.

#does that make sense?#cw musings about death and stuff #I feel like I need to be able to see the whole picture in order to truly know this character and how their life pans out #at one point I had deaths planned for nearly all of my more developed ocs and it was just a natural part of their storyline #but that's just me and my personal way of handling these things #then again I suspect my relationship with death as a topic might be a bit skewed I dunno maybe I'm just melancholic and needlessly morbid #I don't want to sound pretentious but I appreciate the concept of mortality and I like fiction that values and explores it #answered #anonymous #I admit I've gotten a little more remorseful about Machete's fate after Vasco's return he has so much more to lose now

maybe it's because I'm in the "I'm so obsessed and hyperfocused on my little guys I will make any song seem like it's about them even if it couldn't be any father from actually relating to them at all" stage of my Theon and Asha hyperfixation but like...

I feel like 'I bet on losing dogs' by Mitski is about them.

it's about Asha and her relationship with Theon.

he's her baby brother. the baby brother who looked up at her smiled when she had gone in his room, intent on strangling him to stop his cries. he's her losing dog. the dog she keeps fighting for when no one else will. she never gives up on him, not truly, even when he is so clearly doomed, because she loves him, she won't give up on him.

and Theon is, in so many senses, a dog. he's been passed around from owner to owner, home to home, trained and beaten and domesticated, made to behave how his owner at the time sees fit. he's a good dog, a good beaten dog.

and now, in a way, he's Asha's dog. she doesn't want him to be her dog, she wants him to be her brother, and Theon's trying, he really is trying, she knows he's trying, but part of him will always be doomed to be a dog waiting to be hit, waiting for a command, waiting to be trained.

he's her losing dog, she knows it, knows he's doomed, deep down, there's little hope, he'll die a damned dog, but fuck it she doesn't care, he's her blood, her baby, he will be by her side no matter what. she'll always go back for him, she'll always fight for him, she'll always tell him to stay, she'll always give him a chance, she'll always try.

~~~~

#(this post is based on the show. I'm half way through season 6)#I don't even know if I'm saying anything coherently but I tried #they make me feel insane. feral. ill. all of the above.#I think- scratch that. I *know* asha is so much softer for theon than she lets on and I don't know how more people don't see that #like yes. she wasn't perfect when it came to handling theon #but like... she was doing the best she knew how to do with the way she was brought up #I mean. the ironborn have a very tough it out or die mentality. they don't do “mental health” (I mean... look at euron. does it look-#like they do mindfulness and processing trauma?)#she only knew how to tough love theon. that was it. she wanted him to get better but didn't know how to actually make it happen #but that doesn't change the fact that she loved him with her whole being. that she hated seeing him in the state he was. that she didn't-#want to make it all better like any big sister would.#because she did! she loved him! he was her baby and he was hurting and she didn't know how to fix it!#she's brash cause thats all she knows. she's tough on him cause what else could she do? she had to have been scared and worried about him.#I think part of her brashness was her trying to cover up just how worried and conflicted and confused she was when it came to his situation #so this post caters to what I think the soft innards of asha greyjoy would be like. she loves her baby brother very much.#I mean. the way she looks at him when she tells him the story of him smiling at her or when she kisses his forehead when he agrees to be-#*theon* again. for her. the love in her eyes is undeniable.#to asha and her losing dog- I mean brother #they're gonna be the death of me #asha greyjoy #theon greyjoy #yara greyjoy #got #game of thrones #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #the second row of images is from the scene where asha (she will never be yara to me. sorry got. asha is the superior name) is telling-#theon the story about him being a terrible baby and how he smiled at her.

I just realized that all of Buck's relationships not only were initiated by the other person but also started in a crisis.

#not just the whole meeting in a call but like #abby started with buck not knowing how to handle losing someone on the job #they met when her mother went missing #buck needed a emergency tracheotomy on their first date #he met Ali after an earthquake #started dating her after having an identity crisis over abby abandoning him #Taylor literally kissed him while he thought his best friend was dying #and Natalia showed up as he struggled to process his death #and they got together after he had to deliver and give away a child who was biologically his #crisis #i am officially no longer in the eddie needs to choose boat #buck needs to initiate it #911 #thoughts thoughts thoughts #buck

So I have like, 6 [possibly 7] art related things I need to finish

And two assignments I need done before a deadline

So if you want to do something art related to do with me or ask me to do, you’re gonna have to accept a very veryyyyy long late finish T_T

And I know it might not be too much, but once I KNOW I have something on my hands, it’s like I HAVE to finish it. [Idk how to stop that feeling unless I’m told I have time :/]

So uh yeah! I’m not mad at anyone who asked me something, drawing is such a good past time, but no one [if asking for a finished look] should be expecting a normal speed as is *Clarification, about a week is what “too long” is for me <- fast artist

Because I just have sm of my mind, I hope that’s easy to understand ^ ^’

#Knizuu explains something #Im keeping track so I dont lose anyone’s ask #So ye #Maybe ill doodle some things idk #Doodle my way out i wish pft #Yet again dw!! I know how to handle myself trust
