Bleeding, broken arm, arrested, handcuffed and interrogated…and still Spider-Man manages to quip up wise cracking jokes to make me laugh and relax my overprotective nature.

The thing that really gets me about xiyao. that will never NOT get me about xiyao. Is that they met in circumstances where for just a moment their respective stations in society didn't matter. Not to each other. Their relationship started outside of social conventions. And they spend the next 17 years trying to preserve that time, that relationship outside of society. And society crept in anyway.

#mdzs #lan xichen #meng yao #jin guangyao #xiyao #rs: i wish it could've been you #it's the TRAGEDY of it all #oh god maybe this is why cql xiyao doesn't do it as much for me despite the fact the fact they are just. so gay.#because SO MUCH about xiyao and how they work can be traced back to how they met #like down to xichen's stubborn willingnes to always believe the best in jgy and his 'i believe you had your reasons' mentality #because that? 'sometimes the wrong thing to do is actually the right thing because the situation is desperate'#that's a lesson he had to learn ON THE RUN FROM THE WEN. he had to leave his own people to die. that's a lesson he learned WITH MENG YAO #and that line of thinking thereby becomes irrevocably tied to meng yao #and changing their first meeting and pushing back that little wartime romance changes so much #it's still tasty but it's not THIS

"Stop saying Crowley won't help Aziraphale in S3 he'd go back to him in a HEARTBEAT and nothing would stop him" I get it no one likes the idea of Crowley being bitter after what happened for a long period of time but like can we at least acknowledge that he's currently going through probably the most emotional pain in his life since falling? Can we agree that he's opened his heart entirely - something you couldn't pay him to do unless the world is literally ending and he's desperate - to Aziraphale, and got shot down? Can we understand that he did it AGAIN only to lose Aziraphale again? Not that what Aziraphale did isn't without Crowley's own shortcomings (hiding the truth of Heaven's cruelty from him) but like,,,,

The appeal here isn't Scorned Crowley Doesn't Love Aziraphale Anymore, or Never Wants To Help Him Again, the appeal here is Crowley learning enough self respect to not just walk back right to Aziraphale like nothing happened after Aziraphale has had a pattern of consistently refusing him. Going years ping-ponging between "We're not friends I don't even know him" to "That's what friends are for right?" and "We're friends, why would you even say anything?" and "Friends? We're not friends. We are an angel and a demon!"

Like I get it, Crowley is a heartbreakingly forgiving person. Of course he's gonna forgive Aziraphale, I'll be surprised if he didn't forgive him by the time he walked out the bookshop door, but gdi he could at least grant himself the luxury of being at least a little irritated for longer than however long it takes to make a globe and some books float and angrily cry out to God in his flat. But due to the change of pace and dynamic that is establishing part of the conflict for Season 3, I just really like the idea of him for ONCE prioritizing himself and being like "Okay, fine. We'll get back at it when you're ready, then," instead of just taking Aziraphale back like his words and actions meant nothing to him, when clearly they have an effect on him.

What is Aziraphale going to learn if Crowley just accepts what he did so quickly, like he always has the entire time they've been friends? Idk maybe I'm just projecting too much darkness on their dynamic but I mean, if the pattern of Aziraphale pushing Crowley away/disrespecting him one day and then being fine with his friendship the next + Crowley never stopping to be like "Hey, that's not cool, at least give me a little credit" or smth was fine all along and will continue to be fine in the future, then why, after 6,000 years of being friends and loving this demon, can Aziraphale still not accept that Crowley is just fine the way he is, and instead got excited to promote him to an angel in a heartbeat once the opportunity presented itself? You can't blame all of it on Heaven when Aziraphale has demonstrated his free will/defiance to Heaven so many times. Or, I don't know, I guess maybe we can? Maybe I'm just craving too much angst to the point where I'm letting it cloud my analysis of canon. Idk.

#derpy speaks #good omens #good omens 2 #no i dont think crowley is gonna ever hate aziraphale for what happened but he's allowed to be angry #he's allowed to be done with it all. he's allowed to be exhausted. just look at his face when he drives away.#meh. idk. but i dont know how i'll feel if crowley just INSTANTLY accepts aziraphale back in a situation involving #idk - ''hey help me stop the new apocalypse''#at least. without like. SOME pushback? it can even be something small like ''are you SURE you want ME to help you? do you really need me?''#doesnt have to be a straight refusal but i'd like SOME kind of action to show that crowley is putting his foot down for once #he deserves that self respect #do NOT reply saying that im insinuating that aziraphale is actively malicious or doing it on purpose.#everything he has done up until now is his own complicated response to all the trauma and guilt he's been through #but despite that crowley is STILL allowed to be upset... it's messy. i can write a whole paper about how this whole thing #is just unfortunate on both ends. again. we didnt get queerbaited we got communication baited 😭#but help me out here. am i just too fandom-brained to have these expectations from the story?#is there something obvious im missing that is making me sound like a complete asshole here? do i need to get my head out of the gutter?#someone please explain it to me if so because whatever it is‚ i can't find it #not queued

↳ Dennis + looking out for the gang

#iasip #it's always sunny in philadelphia #dennis reynolds #charlie kelly #mac mcdonald #frank reynolds #dee reynolds #deandra reynolds #the gang #charden #macdennis #im fucking eating him. he takes on the role of leader and tries his best to keep everyone calm and working together #in moments like these his ability to push down his own fear to become outwardly rational is actually useful #take care of the others. make sure everyone's okay.#make sure mac doesn't fall over. get charlie to calm down using the method he's found to work. keep frank from getting shot.#and it actually....... kind of works.#or it would have if they DID have a way out of here without help lol #dennis steps up when he's needed (and i think he takes pride in that despite his occasionally voiced complaints)#he's just. preoccupied most of the time. he prioritizes himself above everyone else until it's a life or death situation.#and then it's apparent that he cares very deeply for the gang #this is why when he says he tore up mac's letters from his dad to protect mac (and himself) i genuinely believe he had good intentions #selfish ones. sure. but it was for mac's sake too. even if he did something that (in mac's eyes) was shitty (and illegal) in the process #that little internal compass he's got is smashed to shit but it's still there. it works sometimes #iasip gifs #iasip edits #ada speaks #ada's gifs

#thank goodness and I repeat thank goodness I have the habit to carry anxiety meds with me #because I swear to god my ex's mom came in the shop just to be annoying #like 'we welcomed you in our family you would have been such a nice wife for him'#and like madam I left him 4 years ago HELLOOOOOO #and not to mention she also said that she can't believe I talked so much shir about him #'we were ready to welcome you in our family despite your situation'#and like is2g that made me laugh because bestie I literally almost got murdered by your soft boy #I had to go to the police AND the hospital to get myself checked bc I couldn't breathe well for a week straight #she walked away like she owned the place and I swear I am still so anxious and I think I'll have to face my whole day with my hands shaking #'you'd be such a nice wife for him' lol my mom was right when she said that not just him considered me the trophy girlfriend but his mom too #I wanna go home besties but the day is still so long....

i only want love triangles if it's whatever fucked up polygon junmo kicheol and euijeong have going on

#the worst of evil #ranting #idk how to articulate how juicy it is #junmo's fierce protectiveness of his wife - he trusts her but can't help his jealousy fear or frustration while trapped in the situation #euijeong hurting but putting her own life on the line worried for her husband while unpacking the memories of her first love #she can't help but sympathize with kicheol and what he's endured; haven't seen much of how she feels rn but it must be c o n f l i c t e d #(not necessarily even in a romantic way but wanting to root for a person chasing their goals who was once so important to you)#(all while grieving her mother without the support of her literal goddamn spouse by her side)#and kicheol. also grieving and trying to establish a place for himself and his crew yet drawn to junmo despite the red flags #his panic and desperation when jungmo bled out on him which must have triggered his own memories of losing taeho #junmo who has every reason to despise kicheol barely concealing his general rage but protects him like it's second nature at every turn #all while conflicted as a bystander to atrocities (and now willfully leaving another cop to die to protect himself his wife and the mission #getting mentally and physically pummeled left and right just bc his superiors demand it from him #all to please euijeong's family by using the promotions to prove himself and get rid of the stigma weighing him down #like !!!#and haven't even touched on kicheol wooing euijeong against his buddy's wishes and in such a pure heart fluttering way #accepting the risk for a second chance to bathe in the bright light she used to shine on his life #OMG AND BIBI'S ENTRANCE!! junmo realizing her interest gives him leverage and agency but struggling to use it to his advantage #it's soooo messy and i'm obsessed #that funeral arc is gonna haunt me for years #as is the tension during the pat down which def was supposed to be like a gang pride/dignity/lack of power against the jp folks thing #also testing their relationship and responsibilites as leader subordinate #but felt charged around whether kicheol would protest or junmo would accept the manhandling in totally different 👀 ways #goddamn i wrote an essay and this doesn't even scratch the surface of the meat of the show #tldr; i have many many feelings and for once the 'love triangle' isn't making me gauge out my own eyeballs #it's about power it's about raising the stakes and revealing things about the characters w/o dominating the plot

the journey of gordon juniperus gresley (and still ongoing)

#thomas the tank engine #thomas and friends #ttte gordon #senjart #casa tidmouth #casa tidmouth act 2 #my everything. godddd I love him so so much #he's like. objectively the best character in the whole series #also I think he and scott were really close as kids #esp. with only one year age difference and how scott continuously supported him despite their family's situation #(imo their rivalry in tgr was one sided from gordon's part. scott's just balling while gordon still wants to overpass him)#like ok. I know this is a post about gordon but I think scott needs some appreciation with how he prioritizes his brother over himself #bro's probably emotionally devastated too with losing his siblings and father. but he still has his little brother #gordon probably felt like he owes scott a lot. but he's bad at words (ALL gresleys are) and he has his own set of problems SOOOOOO #and gordon. even though he lost so many people in his life he still keeps on going. he never gives up because-#-despite how much he complaints and boasts about himself he firmly believes that things will eventually turn out okay for him #aggresive optimist. something like that? you get what I'm trying to say #like a coworker would say ''this is hopeless'' and gordon would just say ''you're being ridiculous''#anyways enough of me talking. I wanna draw scott's and gordon's railway show designs BUT WHEN? LET'S SEE #(crying at little gordon. it shows from his eyes that he has no idea what's about to happen to him)

when the lip differs from the lip

#aizo’s really too good for this series (sometimes). very male lead of him i have to say #he forgives his mother for being like *that* to him and still loves her despite everything #he shows kindness to people who openly hate him (mona; granted it was only to make up for his bf’s earlier misdeeds)#a n d he tolerates yujiro’s nonsense (bc he loooooves him) despite their frequent arguments and disagreements all #meanwhile yujiro openly hates on people who go after his bf (kanami 2k20: never forget… and chizuutan to a degree too ig)#man i miss honeypre event stories (says this all the time). i miss seeing aizo pine on main (while being dense about his own feelings)#and yujiro being salty on main (while somehow being even denserrrrrrrr about his own feelings for aizo)#those event stories truly were some of the best shipping fuel for ss lxl #(also ngl but. i liked how hiyoko was still present in their stories as the supportive friend role to them…)#(unlike a certain [redacted] anime which turned her into a horrible self-insert who shoehorns herself into situations unrelated to her)#(*cough* aizo’s so-called ‘fake trauma’ *cough* ‘how could yujiro’s family hate him when his mom makes him such a nice lunch????’ *cough*)#(wished we could’ve seen more of the jk trio in the event stories though [sadge]. bring back honeypre p l s)#um anyway!!!!!! see y’all when the next lxl mv drops ig???? maybe later in the week???? sometime between wed-fri???? idk?????

afternoon ponderings

#my art #Ace Attorney #Gregory Edgeworth #Manfred von Karma #blueberrypancakes #for my brain to be able to see any sort of romance I have to just. Draw them in situations. Put those lawyers in a situation.#Plantonic and/or silly situations but situations nonetheless ! Anyways—#ok small ramblings time w/ headcanons #von karma paces to help him think- despite his leg- and tends to talk himself through things that happened (based on evidence and testimony #edgeworth switches between bouncing his leg and flipping through books unseeing trying to connect dots without 100% thinking about it--#letting it sit in his head as he turns it about subconsciously. most times it works- sometimes he just Has to talk through it with someone #and that someone is the one pacing due to his own case at the moment; and so! they talk. case talk small talk. talk!#they aren’t on the same case 4 this art— they’ve have been pinging ideas off each other and complaining about various things for hours now #bc if they were on the Same case they would NOT be this close in proximity except on the crime scene.#absolutely FIENDISHLY protective of their respective evidence. it's a game it's a dance it's a fight and gregory won't stop until he wins #and even then he would never stop; however they aren't on the same case so! they hang out and chat like civilized people. and argue (aff)#rea rambles in the tags #rea’s trash

“I think he likes you.”

- @frankpooleunofficial

—

Space ménage a trois fluff? But they’re all retired back on earth? And Spot lives to be 20 because he’s a strong little alley cat?

After the world-changing revelations made during the Discovery mission, the entire crew returns to Earth. They have sufficient savings and a life’s worth of Ted talks to go to, so Dave and Frank retire and move back to their little place.

A short while later, Hal is retired as well and protests being shut down. It’s a frustrating fight, but he has support. I’m imagining there’s a little science centre/observatory where he moves to and he teaches and learns and then Dave and Frank come and visit and bring the cat and he just loves Hal so much (because he’s warm and has a nice voice and cats love to walk all over computers).

It was instantaneous.

Spot lept from Dave’s arms onto the small platform and then onto Hal’s console, it had once doubled as workspace but now the cat figured was for him. It crept and rubbed and purred, moving in and out of view of the lens.

“It appears… mghmmmmmm…so,”

Briefly his speaker was covered by the very enthusiastic little beast, a slender and rough looking tabby. Logically, Hal knew what a cat was but he had never seen another living being besides humans.

“Am I to understand it is your ward?”

Daves eyes grow comically large at this comment, much to the others laughter as he tries to figure out that implication.

#//#soooo real #small but it’s set up #I’m imagining what’s visible would be like his console in the pod by - server room hidden elsewhere #Hal gets his own little area in the Kennedy space center #djdndmsmsms the visitors center so he has a little museum talk show situation #family lived in the area for half my life must use knowledge despite never visiting #totally not mad about it #aso rp #🪐 bowman #💥hal #in charecter #unmade thread tag

listen,, i am Not defending all of sky's actions or his personality but he's genuinely just not as bad as the fandom makes him out to be.

a lot of y'all forget that sky is a prince with extremely overbearing and downright abusive parents that refuse to listen to him or treat him with any ounce of respect. and that the whole diaspro vs bloom situation was started directly because his parents forced an arranged marriage between diaspro and sky, constantly telling her parents that it would work out and never listening to sky the hundreds of times he tried to stop it. like again, he's not great, he's my least favorite specialist. but that situation was never in his favor. he was a 16 year old that dealt with strict, emotionally abusive parents his entire life and got forced into an arranged marriage with someone he never loved and was constantly told that it Needed to happen for the kingdom. trying to play it out like he's a serial cheater with some nefarious master plan is like,, really weird. again! not a great person he does a lot of shitty things. but blaming that specific situation on him, a teen with absolutely no say in his life who just met someone he genuinely likes and could love, instead of his parents is incredibly weird to me.

#i just think that entire situation was extremely unfair for everyone involved #and its really weird when people try to make it out like sky was some serial cheater mastermind #like dude no he's a child with horrible parents and no control over his personal life #and yeah absolutely he shouldnt have lied or led bloom on. but also remember that Technically he was in disguise because #Apparently assassins are constantly after him (ignoring that winx does a piss poor job at showing that)#like idk this little boy who never had a say in his life suddenly meeting this little firecracker of a girl that has A Lot To Say #and isn't afraid of running her mouth or expressing herself. And even encouraging him to do the same?#like? yeah id fall in love with bloom too tf #and i feel like people forget that sky told both his parents And diaspro that he didnt love her like. multiple times.#anyway. i still hate sky.#but i hate him for like. actual reasons instead of He Fell In Love With Bloom Despite Being In A Forced Engagement Oh No #like we could criticize him for not trusting bloom or for projecting all of his own faults onto other characters #but trying to say he was at blame for just being like. a teen in love is Extremely weird to me #like i dont think it would be fair to say that he should just. never fall in love with anyone and should just be happy marrying someone he-#-never loved or had any romantic feelings toward #like you guys Can understand aisha hating her arranged marriage and falling in love with 'ophir' despite it #but you Can't understand sky hating his arranged marriage and falling in love with bloom despite it #its so much easier to say you dont like sky please just say that

God help us: the live action last airbender has actually got people thinking Azula was a complete victim and not a complicated villain character.

#seeing live action actually have ozai praise zuko a lil and be critical of azula and such already feels like they missed the point #of the fucked up family situation in animated verse #ozai literally in comics told zuko he was lucky to be born while azula was born lucky #and basically praised and encouraged azula in her fucked up path because he had the powerful young prodigy he wanted #as he could mould her then to be what he wanted and such #like people saying live action is just having him have the siblings compete against each other dont understand that uh #animated ozai already did that in his own way #from young ages he favored azula over zuko to the point zuko did what he could to have his father's praise and such #plus these people really forgetting that azula despite all her issues and shit still was a fucked up person in the end #and using the comics dont help #as in recent comics azula has still been rejecting redemption arcs when they offered to her

i need sigma and kunikida to meet actually. i think they'd really hit it off. they've both got that "are you fucking stupid?????? kindest regards" energy. also similar pain over dazai. also it'd be really interesting to see them clash like idk if kunikida's morals would let him see an ex-terrorist as a potential coworker or partner or friend which, if he does end up being the ada's president after this arc, could add a spicy conflict to sigma potentially joining the ada. but i hope they will eventually become besties it'll be great

#also despite what i said abt his morals i think he will eventually warm up to sigma the way he did to atsushi and kyouka #like even if sigma isn't a kid it's hard not to sympathize with his situation. esp when the terrorism thing wasn't 100% his own will #do you see my vision here. do you also see the potential.

the rest of my wilfree doodles this time more sad 'cause i'm uh

#dungeons and dragons #dnd #dnd character #dnd artificer #shadow thrall #shadow thrall wilfree my beloved #the theme of wilfree in the end being the downward spiral of someone with addiction #addition and obsession really but regardless same vibes #obsession over the mistakes of his past #and his whole relationship with v is very akin to a drug dealer and the buyer #v whole ass manipulated wilfree until he ended up giving himself up just for the chance of saving someone else #for a scrap of self worth #something v knew he had very little of since the day the two met #i thought hi was my most tragic character but then i watched wilfree's downward spiral in real time #for a little while he seemed to be doing better but the death of river was in a way his own death sentence #he was doomed from the start and despite his best efforts #or rather the efforts of the people around him #there was no saving him #an npc at the end tried so hard i could tell to try and cheer him up or at least make him feel better in a horrible situation #telling him that he really did do good during his time in that location and that he helped a lot of people #but v had already put the cards on the table and it only served to push him farther because of course he did good #that is exactly what v wanted him to do #okay enough rambling nobody gives a hoot lmao goodnight
