Seriously tho what a fucking stupid mindset.

"We must prevent children from experiencing difficulty through fictional work!"

WHAT A GREAT IDEA THAT IS, SUSAN.

And how exactly do you expect this child once they grow up to handle difficult and complex situations involving experiences, ESPECIALLY with other human beings with different perspectives and experiences, when you have literally prevented them their whole lives from even being AWARE that life and people are a lot more complicated and messy and sometimes bad things happen to good people and sometimes bad people pretend to be good and sometimes good people can do bad things????

HOW DO YOU THINK THESE ADULTS WILL RESPOND TO ENCOUNTERING COMPLEX ISSUES???? WHEN THEY HAVE LIVED THEIR WHOLE LIVES KNOWING ONLY COMPLACENCY AND NOTHING EVER CHALLENGING THEM??? WHEN THEY HAVE 0 EMOTIONAL TRAINING BUT NOW HAVE THE POWER TO ACTUALLY AFFECT THESE THINGS?????

HOW DO YOU THINK THAT'S GOING TO GO, SUSAN?????

#Maybe when you're calling for practices employed by nazis log off the internet and take a REAL long look in the mirror #Maybe decide to NOT emotionally and mentally stunt your child #Maybe give children more credit #Maybe go to a therapist to address your own trauma #Maybe you should have read more challenging books growing up and you wouldn't be this much of a book burner #Calling for the exact same practices thought to be 'morally good' and 'for the health and safety of children'#as every single hate group to have ever existed #Maybe challenge yourself more #Maybe analyse yourself more #Maybe stop and think

FOR YOUR OWN SANITY, do not look in the tags, dont do it. its not worth it. a demon possessed me or something, i dont know.

#alastor #alastor hazbin hotel #alastor the radio demon #WHY IS IT LIKE HTAT #every time i see his fuckass bob i break down cry-laughing #EVERY TIME #i legit cant stop myself from just falling to the floor because his haircut is just that bad #hes supposed to be like a super powerful demon #but he chose THAT haircut???#he put all his points in Vertical and tries to fake horizontalness with his coat and also by folding himself so he's as flat as a table #he knows he is horizontally challenged #he also put all his points in 2014 uber duber scary oc #but he skipped past the haircut one #like #do you not see yourself in a mirror? do you walk past reflective surfaces eyes closed?#maybe he doesnt allow photos or videos because he saw his haircut once and he legit had no idea it was that bad #he doesnt allow photos or videos because he doesnt wanna get embarrassed more than he already has with that stupid bob #its so bad like actually #he can apparently shapeshift (unsure tho) which means that haircut was a conscious desicion #he CHOSE the “kick me!” sticky note life and he better regret it soon #anyways rant aside #yeah alastor's pretty cool #he's very fun to draw (from the front and the front only)#its honestly so fortunate that most times hes facing the camera #which is funny considering his hate for modern technology #yet he very often is facing towards the camera with his bigass smile #ok i think im going off topic oops #hazbin hotel #hazbinhotel #hazbin alastor

Didn’t know you had it in you, did you (Patreon)

#Doodles #Adventure Time #Fionna and Cake #Simon Petrikov #Winter King #Winterkov #What? Me? Enjoying a self/ ship ft. two dorks wearing glasses? Haha couldn't be me that doesn't sound like me at all #Trading one Tom Kenny brainworms for another sheesh - Tom Kenny stop voicing queer scientists challenge (impossible)#I hadn't drawn Simon before but I have known he's a massive cute for a heck while now lol #And yeah confirmed - he's Really fun to draw especially this iteration #His crows feet and hair streak ugh <3 #Plus I've just missed this style of eye more than I realized haha #And Winter just flows off my pencil like water like woah #I blame Spamton at least partially for that lol although he's easier to draw than Spamton :0 #Spamton is very fun! Winter's just easier for some reason :0 #Maybe 'cause he's so soft-faced haha ♥ And I don't use my colours on him lol #Honestly I only count this as self-slash on a technicality - yes they're both Simon bodily but that's not really Simon in Winter anymore huh #Maybe to some extent - he's still a scientist and all but honestly there's a comment I can't stop thinking about since I saw it #About how really that's The Crown using Simon as a host just without the madness - and his skills aid in keeping him lucid #So it's like a ghost puppeting your clone's still-living corpse more so than kissing yourself :) In my opinion lol #And I don't say that to get away from self-shipping! I love that stuff!! That's just genuinely how I read Winter now haha #Not that he wouldn't play into it lol #I've seen a ''I am like this so you are also like this :) Right Simon? :) You're like this'' and I enjoy that very much #Manipulative so and so <3

evil beckers thought….. just how many autopsies Did they send chen ?

#gideon shut the hell up challenge #was he subjected to the knowledge - the Sight - of all three of them? if only one or two does he worry abt the others?#does he find himself surprised that their injuries aren't the same? that for once they've been forcibly split up? it makes sense of course #(operating on all three at the same time is just unrealistic. there's no reason to have more than one per operating table)#but there's also just something so distinctly Wrong abt seeing them split up - esp knowing it was against their will like this ???#which catches him more off-guard when they show back up: that they're alive or that only one is? does he file it away that maybe the other #two managed to survive as well? or does he write them off as being lost? decide that the survivor wouldn't be alone otherwise?#honestly on solo/double survivor routes I bet he fucking knows which parts got harvested off the fallen sibling #which has to be . awful to keep to yourself. yes he has replacement parts but his are metal !!! not taken from his dead siblings !!!#...... on a lighter note do u think once they do the reveal the ortegas want to compare the tats. bc I would. I'm just saying #I JUST THINK. if ur get a regene reveal of a set of siblings. u could immediately be like 'haha yeah but like... how similar are ur tats'#keeping up with the beckers

You know how you hc that the twins battle each other all the time, and thus are basically their hardest opponents? That post you made about Ingo's brutal Path of Solitude made me desperately want Ingo and Emmet challenging each other to various versions, sometimes with Ingo having the upperhand like in the game, sometimes with Emmet making Ingo use a wurmple against a staraptor. And sometimes, for fun, they even make it a double battle. They make the most buff pokemon in existence and everyone is sufficiently terrified

they so would frfrfr. wait this reminds me i had two sort of mutually exclusive path of solitude points i wanted to make in the same post i'm just gonna do it here hang on

1) ingo was really like, here's a new style of battle challenge i'm introducing that's literally not done anywhere else even in the future, i invented it myself. the challenge is you have one single pokemon and you have to face a very difficult opponent and you're not allowed any other help than what you go in with and you're all alone forever. this is based on absolutely nothing at all and was inspired by nothing. i am fine.

2) path of solitude is really like turbo single battles honestly like of course the guy who is The Single Battles One came up with this. what do you think emmet would have done if he was here instead. would he be like ok pick a pokemon and i'm giving you an entirely random partner. no planning beforehand gotta figure it out when you open the pokeball and we start the battle. dwi.

#the nemesis speaks #the nemesis answers #anonymous #pla analysis #i do have Feelings about path of solitude though if i think abt it too much #like i said it in that first point but i said it goofy but i do really mean it.#even the name is kind of insane. Path of Solitude. cmon.#he got the chance to make up a battle challenge and he said let's make it about being alone by yourself with nobody around to help #but also. i think it is also partially about him dialing up the unique single battle challenge up to 11 #since he does see singles as a unique challenge. like the default battle style is multis. obvi. his preference for singles is like a choice #he likes the difficulty of negotiating a potentially very adverse battle situation with only the limited toolset of a single partner #and path of solitude is that But More #like i said kind of mutually exclusive but i mean them both simultaneously ok.#anyway. yeah.#ACTUALLY can you imagine ingo introducing emmet to the concept and he describes it and emmet's like yeah this seems fun #like it's a big investment in misc pokemon opponents but it's a cool challenge #so like what strength level were you thinking-#and ingo's like oh idk maybe like 80 #and emmet's like okay. hm. maybe we dial it back just a tiiiiny bit

superboy: the man of tomorrow 1 spoilers

(it's just one panel but below the cut just in case)

memory identification: go!

#dc spoilers #memory identification CHALLENGE #okay so: obviously there's the 'waking up in cadmus'#the friends don't seem like a reference to anything - i mean ig it could be donna's death but i think they're just a generic memory #or possibly it's yj:dc and there's just nothing that actually happened to reference?#i think that's tara dying #and then the last one: match punching him?or is it superboy-prime punching him?#(to be conner is to be constantly getting punched by alternate superboys dsfdsfs)#anyway (despite this one angsty panel) this was fun and zippy #v. light-hearted and not a whole lot to it - looks like it'll be space adventure + punching-stuff #there isn't enough here to really hook me but the art is cute and conner's narration is bouncy #so if they keep putting it on the app i'll probably keep reading #i really wish. mm. okay WARNING RANT INCOMING this is kind of tangential and maybe it's just the comics that i pick up #but i feel like of the few modern comics i've picked up - a lot of them are very light on the characters having concrete problems #even problems as simple as 'getting bad grades in school' or 'have to lie to my dad' or 'need a job to pay the rent'#like. i feel like tim in robin '93 had concrete problems that couldn't be solved with a pep talk and 'you just gotta believe in yourself'#dick in nightwing '97 - same! concrete personal life problems that could not be resolved by a pep talk!#and i really miss. like. characters experiencing dilemmas or having to make trade-offs #and just generally i miss a bit more realism - like. conner feels unneeded. okay? so?#shouldn't he be going to school or something? why is costume-stuff top of mind? where are the authority figures/external forces?#i think these kinds of intensely-internal problems can work in non-visual fiction bc you're in the character's head BUT #comics are largely visual and everything with real emotional punch works way better if it's concrete things that i can see #anyway that's just my personal preferences though and it's not superboy's fault!#conner's never been a realistic character - he had goofy merchandising and was a kid celebrity and so forth #and although i didn't read his preboot solo i don't think he ever went to school there either? except in adventure comics?#so he seems very well-suited to plucky space-adventure #and i wish him the best. go forth and prosper conner!! punch those aliens!!

redraw of this post but i inverted it because it looked better this way lmao

#postlyn #postlyn art #emily rodda #roddaverse #deltora quest #barda of del #//#if you dont know i have a hc that barda got a sleeve tattoo in the broome style at some point post-DQ3 #currently my hc of broome tradition is women have tattoos on their heads #and as star-bribery first headcanoned they extend further and further down their back as they grow older #and then men have sleeve tattoos because they can <3 #sometimes on their chest too #in ''modern'' broome aka during lief's reign things are more flexible #being in broome is about embracing yourself and being happy #there are no tattoo gatekeepers #except maybe outsiders who are like ACTUALLY THATS OFFENSIVE or wahtever and then a broome person would be like actually shut the hell up #and then challenge them to a dance off / fight #anyway #transmen might choose to have tattoos on their chest <3 #i havnet really thought about tattoo removal actually but i do think that broome tattoos are a source of pride to them #it's culture and makes them happy and stuff #it's normal #so idk maybe someone who transitions further in adulthood might be uncomfortable with their head tatts #maybe they wont #who knows #i believe that generally though broome folk would be pretty chill with the way theyd interact with each other #adn if anything theyd just be like #yo youre trying something different?!?!? good on ya bruh love that for you #i also have a headcanon that theres a range of products used for the broome patterns #tattoos are the permanent patterns obviously

Got a save manager to work! (thank you pawnguild mwah) and god. Its so funny watching the cutscenes with Fe'gahl as the Arisen because he just looks like he doesn't want to be there so much compared to Odessa who looks like yeah this feels like everyday business
