when shadow says to nine that "it was all about power", he says it like he's familiar with that motivation, like it was once shadow's goal as well, that he too had been reprimanded with the same accusation. and we know in the games that shadow has sought power! whether it be a "jewel containing the ultimate power", or destroying the earth, or black doom weaponizing his grief, confusion, and rage for conquest.
shadow's insistence on nine's villainy and his eagerness to be the one responsible for nine's defeat - all directed at a character he barely knows - switches from somewhat disproportionate to entirely justified when you realize shadow does in fact know nine, nearly as well as he knows himself. because nine IS shadow - a shadow without support, a shadow alone and discarded by everyone, a shadow whose maria came back only to dash his own hopes and dreams apart.

lose my mind every time the doctor takes rose's last name in fics. brilliant, amazing, splendid, absolutely perfect.
like, what do you MEAN she'd be the one to change her last name? he doesn't even HAVE a bloody name like us! plus, she's rose tyler. you think he's going to want that to be different? it's the doctor and rose tyler in the tardis (or I suppose whatever they do in pete's world, but that's still the doctor and rose tyler having their new adventure)!!
she's rose tyler and he is whatever-he-wants tyler. end of discussion. the whole pond diabolical should've been clue enough imo

My fav thing about TAZ is that any aspect out of context sounds fucking bonkers.
Like, in the balance finale there's a scene in which Garfield (who is very specifically never described visually bc most people imagine him as like. The Lasagna Cat. Who in this universe is the most powerful warlock in the realm and also has a hobby of cloning people, which is great for the one character that got forced into haunting a mannequin) is summoned by an alien spaceship that runs on the power of friendship so he could beat up some flashing balls. In D&D.
And that was just. Such a normal scene in the narrative. No one blinked an eye. I would like to bow down to Griffins clear unmatched talent for making me feel such big emotions over ridiculous shit like a goddamned umbrella or a regular ass pair of jeans or the idea of a taco recipe.

Chuuya can understand Dazai so well because his mind is actually similar to Dazai's.
These two understand each other the most. They "hate" the other because they can see hints of themselves in each other. It is why they are convinced in the other's humanity when they question it on themselves. It's why they don't do much talking and yet arrive to the same conclusions. It's why they work so well. They're different in so many aspects on the surface, but deep inside, they know it's like looking in the mirror.
They don't have to agree, but they do understand the thought process BECAUSE they've thought of it before.
They probably rarely had to talk beyond short arguments because they don't need to talk to know what the other is thinking. They always agree at times when it mattered the most.
"Soulmates" is the only possible definition for these two because there's no better way to describe them.

Remembering I can draw fanart for my own fics, SO BEHOLD! The most mentally sound halves of a fusion imaginable! Technically a redraw of art I did way earlier for the same fic! Flexing my art muscles and thinking about these two is good for the soul. Love them. Bastards to write though. I can't wait to write them fused back together, but we're not here yet and it's AGONY.

i do wish there were more posts celebrating fem/mes who aren't lesbians. for me being femme is very much tied to maleness and gayness but there's a lot less discussion of that (& honestly a lot less discussion of like. gay identity & history in general of the same quality that there is for lesbian identity & history?)

WAIT kotya can turn into a human??
silly answer: actually, kotya is a human. catgirl robot kotya is just her transition ideal. her robotsona, if you will
serious answer: though technically human kotya and robot kotya (smartly named k0tya) are the same character, they are from different universes. there's several of those featured on this blog, and as a rule i tag what's what under every post (formatted as "setting: [x]"). if a setting tag is missing it means it's either an unrelated drawing (not a part of any story) or related to the main "default" universe (which is the only one i often forget to tag... lol)

actually my roman empire is how elinor and marianne are essentially metaphors for the two sides of the same coin in jane austen’s extremely repressive society,, how elinor is the “facade” you had to put on and marianne is everything that hides behind that mask, all the things you wanted to feel and show but you had to hide, bc it would make you a social outcast,, and how it is the intensity and the rawness of marianne’s emotions that almost kill her and how she became less emotional after her illness, as if it were not only a great example of (a VERY MUCH needed) character development but also jane austen’s way of telling us that once again social rules win in the end and there’s no way to fight them.
