i've recently started to appreciate tdbkdk as a trio more, whether platonic or romantic. and it was all because of ONE fic. that being said, tdbk is still not my top preference but you'd have to be blind to not see how well fed they were this season.

and then of course the one tdbkdk scene to end the season

Speaking of overreliance on support items: Exhibit A

All Might warned Izuku at one point not to depend too much on support items, and that there's often only so much they can handle. I have no idea why Bakugou never gets this criticism. He relies on his gauntlets for most of his ultimate moves until about halfway through the manga

#bnha reread #bnha 65 #bnha #all might #bakugou katsuki #midoriya izuku #also let's not even mention that monstrosity that bakugou wore during the second war arc that lasted 5 seconds

thinking abt this screenshot of madara looking down on tobirama after attempting to take out his hurt over izuna's death on him .. but tobirama cannot die, he cannot feel pain and izuna is dead anyway so its not enough

#posts #madara #sorry i feel like ive said this exact thing on some post already a while ago .. but i came across this picture again and it brought up #some thoughts #this scene's like the only instance during the entire war arc where we get to see him display any emotion #smth other than lust for battle or excitement etc #we can actually see that even for him as free of emotion as he comes off most of the time #there's quite an amount of hurt for him at the source of it too #mdr also kills sasuke after this. first tries to avenge izn's death but then goes and stabs a stand-in of his right thru the heart #and he looks so unhappy w this afterwards #cuz he feels like he Has to doesnt want to kill him but has to #we also see him remember hsrm's backstab and this time it is not a romantic memory #contrary to the first time when he talks abt him to the 5 kage #here u can see that it did hurt him and he remembers every single word hsrm said to him ..#repeats them to sasuke and then applies that same logic to him as well #hsrm had to kill him for the village so now mdr for his version of peace. has to do the same thing as well #kill his own kin as a sacrifice to achieve what he wants #but also sfdgesfdfsd #just this interaction here w tbrm alone .. its so dissatisfying for him cuz like he wants do SOMETHING abt his grief over losing his #brother. but he cant. he cant even fuck up and hurt his killer anymore over it #its too late #he shouldve done that earlier but couldnt and now its too late #just like everything else is too late for him too. no way back anymore no way to reverse anything thats happened

how exactly does tcw handle zygerria? i’ve been really adverse to watching it because of what i’ve seen surrounding anakin’s characterisation in that arc and i don’t know if i’d feel up to it even if the angst potential is soo high and fucked up and could be interesting to explore

It's... not great I'll be honest.

I'm not sure how much you're familiar with the arc, but they have Anakin go undercover as a slaver, which, okay sure. Going undercover in a way that is deeply uncomfortable and traumatic for him, but means saving innocent people, really great opportunity to explore Anakin's character and what an experience like that would do to him. Only, the show doesn't bother with any of that.

He acts pretty unbothered about the whole thing. Not in a way that makes it seem like he's deflecting, either. He really doesn't seem all that bothered about pretending to be a slave master, or that he has to whoo the queen of a slave empire.

And it's not like the creators forgot that he was a child slave and lived this reality for the first nine years of his life. He outright mentions the fact that his mother was sold in a slave market like the one they're walking through at one point.

Then there's the whole thing with Ahsoka posing as his slave. I... cannot imagine any universe where Anakin would be okay with something like that. Putting her in that position does not seem in character for him at all.

Then you add in some of the dialogue the writers put in there...

Who are you and what have you done with my boy?

This just does not in any shape way or form seem in character for him? Making light of the situation and joking about things to distract from how viscerally uncomfortable this is all making him? Sure. But not like this.

And then there's the end of the arc, where (spoilers) the Zygerrian Queen dies. This is a character who 1) rules a slave empire, 2) has enslaved and tortured Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and Rex and used them as hostages to get Anakin to do what she wants and 3) was implied by the show to have coerced Anakin into sex (genuinely cannot believe a kids show got away with that one) and the creators had the gall to have Anakin cradle her body as she died. The guy who murdered an entire village for killing his mother, held this woman and looked sad as she died.

I do not understand the decisions made here. I really don't.

Honestly, if you're interested in the angst of the episode but not the execution, just skip the show and read some fanfic about the Zygerria arc. There's a lot of really great ones that focus on the events of the arc and the aftermath.

Some of my favorites:

System Reset by That_Ghost_Kristoff. Honestly, this whole series is great

Dog Bites by Husborth

Goes to Ground also by Husborth cuz she's awesome like that

Time by katierosefun

Or you could read the Clone Wars comic of Slaves of the Republic, which actually handles the arc a lot better.

#i really do love the clone wars show #but i cannot get over how out of character anakin feels during most of it #the zygerria arc and the clovis episodes are the worst offenders #but even in the rest of the show he feels like a completely different character to me #anyway. there's a lot more fics out there. those are just the ones i have saved

Genuinely need a break from this arc real quick why does One Piece delve so deep into the ethics of war this arc, like holy shit I'm gonna fucking die

#so much emotional shit been happening during the marineford arc im gonna come out of this feeling like a jaded war soldier #seeing coby having a downright full-on panic attack while bodies fall to the ground around him?? isnt this kid like 15-17 #and literally any scene where some shit happens to luffy is absolutely mortifying in nature ever since drum island #one piece sets itself up like ''lol look at these pirate friends getting into hijinks and saving each other and conquering the world!''#but then shit gets crazy every time #i can no longer in good conscience recommend this without warning people abt how scary it gets sometimes #i feel like the first taste comes during arlong park where we see nami repeatedly stabbing herself #then with us seeing zoro's wound stapled shut and bleeding like a motherfucker as he still tries to fight #because they couldn't get professional medical help even if they probably saw his fucking guts and ribcage #but shit just keeps getting more terrifying every arc #alabasta? civil war. we see the princess of her country screaming her lungs out in vain for her people to stop fighting #sky island? mass genocide. for funsies. by a man so hopped up on delusions and apathy he thinks it's funny #water 7? we see the downfall of ohara and robin trying to Fucking Commit Suicide because she finally found ppl who like her #thriller bark--THRILLER BARK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.#seeing brook's crew sing together one last time as they all progressively drop dead one by one until only one is left #and the utter terror as we see zoro standing surrounded by his own blood in a 20 foot radius around him #impel down we see the horrors of the world government and how they treat their prisoners with layers of hell #and marineford we see a war even worse than that which we saw in alabasta #horrible horrible shit

Say, post-shadowplay IDW Shockwave in the forced redemptipn arc au? I'm kind of curious how things might work out with his propably-physically-damaged brain.

I'm curious too because either the matrix is physically healing him, it's trying it's hardest to convince him to drag his aft to a medic to try and figure it out, or it's working with what it's got in an imperfect version of it's usual MO in this.

#i feel like the last one is the most likely #but I've seen the first one in one or two fics before (definitely [echoes of Messatine] but maybe a few others?? or canon??)#the second is probably the least likely but it's intriguing because you also have the option of the influence being obvious or well not #because now I'm wondering how many medics tried to take a look at his processor (or well shadowplay victims as a whole)#surely during the war and after the war there was a lot of medical research put into the effects of shadowplay and curing/alleviating them #ik that sometimes mnemosurgery is needed to help reverse some cases of it but i feel like when there's more physical damage things get. well #is he just fucked on that angle? can they repair the damage even if he did drag his aft to a medic?#maccadam #transformers #forced redemption arc au #idw shockwave #the matrix of leadership

on one hand I wanna write my fic ideas wherein my marvel oc gets sent to the alternate universe of Gotham and hijinks ensue whilst she tries to survive and get back and the batfam and such slowly learn more info abt her world and how it's being threatened atm and she needs to go back and help and whatnot.

But on the other hand, the readers wouldn't know the marvel related backstory of this OC and would have. No context for her going in

But ALSO then the readers would know abt as much abt this mysterious figure as the batcrew do, and get to learn via flash backs and her slowly revealing info to them as safety allows

Then there's also just a general. Idk if there's any sort of oc etiquette when it comes to writing oc centered fics? My brain goes so hogwild when I read anything that I usually avoid oc fics other people write just bc I usually read and enjoy fics at face value but I also go "now what would happen if this OC was here?" And that gets real complicated when other people's ocs are involved

#jasper rambles #this is a rambly one yall #fanfic discussion #fanfic etiquette?#i just. listen. i made a vampire oc for captain america specifically of the mcu.. and i was thinking and like. gotham is the Perfect City fo #r a vampire to live right. so like. then i was like what would she do if she ended up in gotham. how would that go. and then i could reveal #her marvel backstory thru tidbits she drops and flashbacks. bc i have her mcu timeline pretty well planned out #tho also her existence (along w a few pther ocs) drastically changes the course of the mcu so some things hapen VERY differently (mainly civ #il war and then the start of the following arcs) so like id aalso have to reveal where the canon divergence from the mcu is during the flash #backs. and then ALSO i have a p decent grasp of the batfam and whatnot but i havent had the oppurtunity to read many comics so i dont even.#what if i just FAIL at their characterization and im actually wronf magically #and then ALSO comes the question of should i include my batman dc oc? bc SHES a whole. package. theres a LOT to unpack w her. tho for this s #pecific fic idea i think itd be fun to just. have her be Another Batfam Member. like yeah shes got her own stuff going on. but this fic woul #dnt dive into it anymore than it dives into the other batfam members #the other issue is deciding where in the mcu timeline this oc gets thrown into an au and why and how or if that affects the mcu timeline fro #m there. cuz thatd need to be decided for the sake of flashbacks. and if im gonna ise flashbacks id love to try and plan it out so it aligns #with the plot happening in gotham. i dont necessarily want like. a running Plot in the flashbacks. but id want them to be scenes from her li #fe in mcu that reveaal stuff that helps understand the decisions she makes in the gotham plot #but ALSO in the gotham plot. id wanna have it either be that her presence has caused some sort of ripple that the gotham baddies are using t #o hirt people or else some other unrelated gotham baddies plot is happening and this oc being herself sees trouble and runs towards it to tr #y and help people. even tho she has her own stuff to deal w. and then makes herself a target of the gangs and also potentially screws someth #ings up bc she doesnt have as intimate of knowledge abt the baddies and gangs as the batfam do since most of em grew up in the streets of g #otham one way or another #so like. and like she can hold her own. she was a young woman in brooklyn in the 30/40s. but its still a different environment in gotham rat #her than in brooklyn new york. so itd be. yeah. tbh i feel like the fact that im putting this much thought into it means i will probably try #to write and post it on ao3. idk when tho. im trying not to post more fics on ao3 so i can focus on my xmen fic #sso. anyway if you read all this feel free to share your thoughts and or like. sorry not sorry for the rambly essay of tags <3 #i told you jasper rambles

test subject? who exactly is this guy?

#arewoaeghagihuuhhhhhhhhh #yamato in the last gif...#angry. he's ANGRY!#like #re-watching this after finishing the whole show is like - i saw what yamato did during the war arc #i think yamato's whole 'i'm just a pale imitation of the first hokage' thing is a misperception of his #i'm pretty sure he could kill everyone on that bridge if he actually cut loose and went for it #but #i dunno. i don't think yamato even knows what he can actually do.#the lingering repression/suppression programming is too deeply ingrained #he has no idea what he's actually capable of #naruto #a true equal #*

just realised i have a habit of headcanoning characters leaving the wizarding world and magic behind them...

mary macdonald, lydia pettigrew, draco malfoy, remus lupin, andromeda tonks, etc.

#why is that a pattern of mine?? its a strange pattern to have but i have no clue why the idea is just so appealing #mary macdonald leaving due to the war and not wanting to be involved she fully leaves magic behind until she has dean thomas #so she comes back for his benefit only to take him to get school supplies and the train and make sure he's not too overwhelmed with magic #lydia pettigrew getting pregnant during her time at hogwarts and dropping out since she wasn't having a good time anyway #she misses having a muggle life and although not fully leaving the wizarding world and coming back for peters sake but again not that much #draco malfoy leaving after the war is over and his family is ruined. he leaves everything behind and starts going to uni #only remaining in contact with his mother from the wizarding world. (ive got a whole thing about this by the way.#i dont like draco but i like gay ppl and redemption arcs so gave him t (he's gay with his uni flatmate not harry if thats what you thought #remus lupin briefly leaving after halloween 81. he sorta just stops going to the wizarding world or using magic and doesn't even realise #andromedas is also briefly just after getting disowned. starting her new life with ted both of them living in the muggle world #but she is still in contact with sirius and just doesn't feel safe going to places in the wizarding world at first #but after a while she regains confidence to do and starts rejoining that world (while still primarily living in the muggle world)#marauders era #marauders #harry potter #wizarding world

I gotta say, Sumire is an anomaly. Kishi is actually allowing this girl to keep a clear-head at all times, to figure shit out faster than Shikamaru, to ask the right questions and say the right things all while remaining emphatic and emotionally mature.

If it weren't because he still doesn't let her in on the action, I'd suspect he isn't the one writing her lmao

#and you may say: kishi has already shown he has it in him #and you would be absolutely right #but that's the thing #he only shows this with female characters that don't show up often #the more they show up the more likely it is that kishi is either going to reduce them to a crying mess #like karin during the war arc #or just have them be dead weight #even my girl ino suffered from this once during the hidan arc #but somehow sumire has managed to avoid this fate even though she shows up every chapter #it's surreal #fandom: naruto gt #hope I don't jinx it lmao #the juxtaposition between sumire realizing what was going on right away and salad just falling on her knees and sobbing like her mom #kishi only knows how to write 1 kind of female lead lmao

I want to have faith Horikoshi’s knows what he’s doing but… I can’t. I just can’t. All his writing decisions lately just make me cringe.

I think that's understandable. You didn't ask for advice, but if you were to accept it, I'd suggest taking a break from the manga for a while. In the past few years I've taken breaks too when I felt my frustrations mounting, and it helped me get some distance from the writing and find again my love for the characters and the story overall. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't, but for stuff like this, that plays out in the long term, I find that it's sometimes easier to process a whole arc at once. If you follow it week by week, you spend months worrying about how things will fall into place, or dragging your feet as months go by without the plot going where you see it going eventually. It makes the frustration a lot harder to bear imho

#The only reason why I didn't drop the manga during the war arc was because I wasn't following it #By the time shigi faced off against endvr #And I only caught up when Dabi's dance happened #Reading about Enji's self-righteous murderous rage and his oblivious denseness was easier when I ripped it like a band aid #And when I knew he was going to get his ass served to him later #I'm not sure if there's gonna be narrative punishment for the heroes this time around #But staying away from a manga that makes you question why you're even reading it anymore is good thing imho #Having boundaries is good #Saying 'no I won't read that because it upsets me' is okay #I encourage it in fact #Ali replies

Sticker wip because I’m so normal about doc ock

#starting an art tag #doc ock #spider man fanart #v excited with how this is going #and spot the pic of my hand I took this evening during sunset for a sub surface scattering ref #I’ve tried to render this maybe five times already #I never do semi-realism #only hyper realism which doesn’t really work for something so small #so this has been a real balancing acr #and my iPad keeps overheating?? despite the file size and minimul layers #been relistening to the Parable of the Sower #paired w the Storybreak arc where they write a movie about jar jar #it’s worth noting I haven’t seen Star Wars #otto octavius #alfred molina #I am SO normal

talking to a guy and he’s like “how the fuck do you have all this shit memorized?” my brother in christ i memorized a movie as a kid because i got bored during state tests

#it's not like it was even all that much #''all this shit'' being storylines for different games and some of the story arcs in the world war z book #and like some anime storylines #but i'd finish the state tests early #and i knew it #so for two days leading up to the test i'd just watch whatever movie (it was frozen i was a frozen kid)#and then during the test i'd finish and just stare at the ceiling the remaining time and ''watch'' the movie w soundtrack and backgrounds #and like. even the fucking credits #y'know what add that to the list of ''shit i should probably mention if i ever look into a diagnosis''#did y'all know tiptoeing is apparently a neurodivergent kid thing?#my sister's two sons have autism (her daughter probably has adhd) and she keeps sharing info on autism and it's like huh.#i had a lot of that.#and i have a brother that didn't get diagnosed til his 20s 'cause he started to crash and burn in college #but he was like. completely nonverbal as a kid for years and they were just like ''oh some kids are like that''#like i would repeat EVERYTHING if it like. made my mouth feel good? and that's a type of stimming apparently #because my nephew does the exact same thing where he'll hear a word once on a commercial or something #and repeats it over and over with like. same intonation and everything
