i acknowledge that a limited group of people will understand this but sonic prime shadow really is SO wolf's rain tsume-coded
#amanda rambles#wolf's rain#sonic prime#tsume#shadow the hedgehog#sonic prime spoilers#kinda???? this read was specifically bc of s3ep1#i mEAN THIS IN THE BEST WAY BTW#it makes for great scenes and writing#it's the 'i will save you with no hesitation but complain about it''#'i care about you but i pretend i dont'#'we are counterparts that are strong together once we get over our differences'#it's the 'i will call you a fool for your idealized worldview but admire you for it'#'i want to be a better person bc of you but frankly that's embarrassing'#WHAT REALLY SEALED THE DEAL FOR ME THO WAS THE#IT IS THE SIMILARITIES OF#' i will judge everyone else harshly. call them traitors. not trust them.'#'bc i dont want them to hurt the few people ive decided to care about'#shadow being rdy to fight tails immediately has the same vibe as tsume being rdy to fight hige and just seeing the worst in him#i know you can say this is typical anime rival behavior and i agree a lot of the similarities are bUT#IT'S GETTING MORE AND MORE SPECIFIC IMO.#(i think it doesnt help that the Shadow VA is RLY giving Crispin Freeman as Tsume???? )#(like i thought this before i made the direct connection. a similiar between gruff and genuine)

Who let them make Spy Kids, anyway?? Wartfingers Juni, wears-a-diaper-at-night Carmen, the family is Latino...these are just. Not what your average protagonist is doing these days I feel like XD. Maybe I'm no longer Hip With The Kids(tm), but Spy Kids was out there Doin' It.

Alright so u know the scene where Smaug opens an eye under the treasure and it’s all the party can see of him bc he’s sleeping under there.
This is what sand boas look like. And they burrow under the sand and are ambush predators. And they are reptiles. Like Smaug. Do you see where I am going with this
Thang. Smaug. If you even care
#the hobbit#lotr#please this is the best and funniest idea I’ve ever had#also if he actually looked like this I’d wheeze laugh#just#the potential this has#local beastie hyped up to be the worst creature of the millenium#local beastie also looks like a sock puppet.#smaug#smaug the dragon#sand boa#I love sand boas a lot btw I’m not making fun of them in a mean way#that’s a banger evolutionary adaptation it just#well it also looks like if u put googly eyes on a Tube

Luffy not knowing about Zoro promising Sanji to kill him if he ever ends up losing himself makes me go feral because that's something they can only know about. Because Zoro's respect for life and death goes beyond anything, and Sanji knows he understands. Sanji knows that if somebody has to kill him, it's him.
And I don't even think it's because Sanji assumes Zoro's opinion of him is hatred and it would hurt less for him to do this, but because Sanji knows only Zoro would be able to treat the promise as it is. Because he would put Sanji's wishes before any feelings he has for him. It's not that Zoro doesn't care, but I think he respects people's ideals and decisions to the extent of being able to kill Sanji if he so desires.
That being said, he'd do it if there's no other way to fix it. If it's either dying or living as an emotionless machine, which is the same as dying for Sanji, Zoro would fulfill his promise. And there is just... Something about Luffy not knowing. Their captain. The man they're devoted to the most as if he were their God. Luffy doesn't know. It's something only the captain's wings are aware of and the thought of these two keeping this from Luffy until the end is just insane. Not even trying to make it romantic here, but the bond and respect these two have for each other is crazy.
Maybe it's the poetry of it all, too. Somebody like Zoro, who has looked at Death in her face multiple times and said "no", ending Sanji's life, who wants to give in to death to not experience a fate worse than death for him.
#bean posting zosan this is so rare and weird don't get used to it sweeties#kind of tired of people jumping to extremes with these two btw like-#they don't hate each others but they're also not best friends-- respect is something they value even more than those things#they're not good for my mental health they make me go insane#this wasn't meant to be in a shippy way but idk if you wanna see it as romantic you do you bc it could def be#it depends on my mood#i consider myself a zosan shippers on random days#you could also say sanji thinks zoro doesn't give a fuck about him and that's why he tells him bc we know this guy's self-worth is awful#but i also like to think it's because zoro's views on life and death are exactly what sanji needs#luffy would try to look for a way to fix this and they others wouldn't be able to do it tbh#i mean if it ever got too serious i think luffy could do it but do you really think sanji's gonna make him go through that#if zoro has to die he wants to die by luffy's hand but if sanji has to die he wants to die without involving their captain#idk if that makes sense okay i haven't slept at all tbf#one piece#black leg sanji#roronoa zoro#zosan

today in more zolu thoughts: yet another thing I find fascinating about zoro and luffy's relationship, which I believe the LA managed to capture pretty well despite the differences between it and the og source material, is that while zoro's capacity for loyalty and devotion where luffy's concerned are insane (the all-encompassing, heartfelt, lay down my life and dreams for you, follow you until death or the very end of everything kind of crazy), they're not entirely unconditional per se. the condition here being that he has to measure up to zoro's standards - that luffy has to prove himself a man worthy of following.
there are plenty examples of this in the manga, but I'll stick to where it and opla intersect. so manga!zoro pretty much stands firm with this condition when he agrees to follow luffy, warning him about not getting in the way of zoro's dream right away. opla zoro is a lot more reluctant to join in comparison, and he just seemingly goes along with the whole thing in a more "might as well" manner; even so, there's these few subtle moments where you can see him being struck awe by luffy's faith in himself/his dream (the dinner at kaya's) and showing exactly why he's a "different" kind of pirate (ie freeing the folks from orange town).
still, the most pivotal moment is zoro's fight with mihawk in both cases. this is where luffy has to really prove himself to zoro, for the first time. because talk of dreams and promises and not hindering them is nice and all, but can luffy really stand by what he says when push comes to shove? when the life of someone he cares about is on the line? and man. the answer is yes.
in the manga, by stopping johnny and yosaku from intervening and refusing to do so himself as well, even though he was deeply upset by zoro getting hurt, luffy proved he wouldn't go back on his word nor betray zoro's trust and the faith he had placed in him. in a similar fashion, opla luffy letting zoro go ahead with the duel despite his own apprehension/doubts and nami questioning both of their choices, is what finally led to zoro recognizing him as his captain out loud and accepting his role as a first mate.
I just think it's interesting that these two kind of make each other walk on a tightrope. only the world's greatest swordsman can stand by the pirate king's side. the pirate king can have the world's greatest swordsman by his side, if he proves himself worthy of it. but the best part? for me, it's that zoro and luffy are able to challenge one another this way (or set the bar that high) because they absolutely believe the other can rise up to it and beyond.
#zolu#one piece#opla#tp#I should be packing bc i'm traveling early tomorrow but alas#the zolu thoughts are all consuming and won't leave me alone#I just. dig it bad. I adore that zoro's willing to place all that loyalty devotion love onto luffy as long as he finds him deserving of it#and luffy's on a constant journey of convincing zoro that he is; even if that means that he will sometimes be put into difficult positions#or make difficult choices#how crazy is that. the never ending back and forth of#'do you deserve my everything?' 'yes I do and I'm willing to prove it to you for the rest of our lives'#like zoro really drives himself so hard to become the best; aside from his promise to kuina; for luffy's sake#he wants to be worthy of luffy's faith too and protect the man he's sworn his everything to along the way#eating my entire fist btw#love them

shirahama-sensei reminded me she has a thing for the teacher from pokemon s/v so i randomly went off on an au where qifrey is the professor. etc
#witch hat tag#orufrey#the first image is qifrey dressed as that guy. i'm glad she has an inexplicable attachment to some dorky pokemon man like i do#someone was like 'wouldn't it make more sense for deanreldea to be the champion' .... well no. not in my world .#it maps onto magic skill. champions aren't like the Rulers of the land they're just the most skilled at this thing#oru as a burnt out champion who's gently encouraging a kid like coco to reach him one day means a lot to me. i like pokemon narratives#agott went shiny hunting for the same thing coco had but cooler - just to impress her. she really is a pokemon rival type girl#pushing myself to the limit to prove my worth to you - to get to the summit first so i'm waiting for you..#and then realising it wasn't just to be strong - i realised i started wanting to see your smile. i wanted you to have fun.#i think coco would defeat agott at the end of victory road and then defeat oru & i'll probably draw one last thing abt that at least..#the image is very cinematic..the dialogue and music in my mind..I WANT TO FACE ORU!!!!!!!!!!#the super cool insanely powerful awesome champion is the spouse of my professor and he gave me advice at the beginning...no way....#btw the elite four would be the sages which is perfect (and maybe easthies as the first guy?) evil Team Brimhats#coustas as their renegade gladion-type figure. the gym leaders would be like sun/moon and s/v combined#travelling around facing the best students from different classes - so jujy and eunie etc.#i've barely thought about 'teams' or anything bc i care amore about the narrative side of things always lol#but idk. tetia with a swirlix - eunie would be ghost type boy - riche with small things but also a ceruledge or a steelix something massiv#and brushbug would have a final form which is really long like an eastern dragon- fluffy and with wings like a fairy. It's beautiful to me#well anyway *tries to move on to the rest of life now the brief obsession has passed*#obviously oru would be fire-type tho and qifrey would be water-type and they set off together and traded their starters etc.....it goes on

Ride 768: Doubashi attack!!
Pag 1
1: Orange....
“Less of a hero”? Ah!?
2: Nonsense!!
You've never been a hero to begin with!!
Pag 2
1: Ha..... Hakogaku!!
Even Hakogaku caught up!!
2: Thick.... thick.....
3: A man like this holds the strongest of powers!!
6: I'm thin compared to him!!
That's not true, Oosumi-kun!!
7: Senpai, is he strong?
The Hakogaku member who last year defeated Sohoku's Kaburagi in the first day's sprint is
Pag 3
1: him, Doubashi Masakiyo!!
Buah!!
Pag 4
2: Buah...
So in the end you've decided to run?
3: “Chicken”
Pag 5
1: We're passing by the sign the signals 5km until the sprint line!!
2: Hakone Academy.....!!
3: Ace sprinter, Doubashi!!
Ugh.....
6: We're at “5km left” until the sprint
7: There's not much left
Pag 6
1: It won't take more than “10 minutes”!!
2: So you've come, Doubashi!!
It's “san”!!
San!!
How many times have I told you!!
3: Again!!
Pag 7
1: You want to get revenge against me!!
2: That's how someone who won last year would speak, but you lost against me!!
3: Hahaha, are you being a sore loser?
I'm telling you you're the one who lost!!
4: Whatever, come at me!!
It's not whatever, what are you even thinkin when saying that!!
Are you that self confident
Pag 8
1: We'll definitely win!!
2: Interesting, buah!! I came here to humble you!!
4: Ugh....
He's different.....!! He's much more dangerous now that he's running rather than when I met him this morning in the tent!!
Pag 9
1: Hakone Academy's Doubashi!! He's so overwhelmingly intimidating!!
It's like the pressure of a huge raging bull that has its eyes on you!!
2: Just by looking at me he makes me feel like my hands and feet are restrained
Issa fought against someone like him last year!?
4: No!!
5: Calm down
Steady your breathing
6: Swallow your nerves, Danchiku Ryuuhou!!
Pag 10
1: He moved on his own!!
Everyone is so overpowered by Hakogaku that they're not moving!!
For me, on the contrary
2: It's a chance!!
Nagoya's Komao used the curve and jumped ahead
He plans on going ahead alone!!
Pag 11
3: The sprint line is 5km from here!!
Horse acceleration!!
I think I can aim for a breakaway victory!!
4: That guy has a reputation for running solo!!
Gallop!!
This is bad!!
5: Doubashi has an incredible pressure!? But isn't this kind of things
6: just fears that we create ourselves!?
7: I can keep going like this!!
Doubashi isn't worth fearing!!
Pag 13
1: Where are you going?
3: Uaaaaaaagh
Pag 14
1: I thought I was 200m ahead of him, and yet
2: I could have let you go freely, but if you keep wandering around in front of my eyes like that
3: I can't win comfortably!!
Wa-
Pag 15
1: Hakogaku's Doubashi accelerated in an instant and passed Nagoya!!
Gallop!!
2: Together with Sohoku!!
3: Ah!? “Sohoku”!? Tch!! He reacted at the same time as me...?
4: You're the only one who can react at the same speed as me in this leading pack
Orange!!
Pag 16
2: Chicken!!
Pag 17
2: Orange is still behind!?
3: Did he give an order to this guy?
4: And he still managed to keep up with my speed of reaction!?
6: What, this guy's eyes, this running
Pag 18
1: What happened, your expression has changed!!
So this guy wasn't a chicken!!
2: Sorry, Doubashi-san
We'll take this sprint
3: The two of us!!
Pag 19
1: Garuaagh
2: After stopping Nagoya down, Sohoku number 5 jumped out from there
3: and attacked again!!
Tch
4: Hahaha
I told you!!
Pag 20
1: “We'll definitely win”!!
2: Orange!!
Hahaha, what we're aiming for is to be
3: “Japan's number one”!!
4: I'll make you Japan number two!!

Garak is So much right from his first episode. Laura Palmer of Cardassia over here trying to get laid, foil a terrorist plot, AND work a retail shift, all while high as fuck. Dude’s schedule in Past Prologue is FULL.
#Star Trek: Deep Space 9#Past Prologue really reveals how immediately dickmatized he is by Julian cause it's Julian at some of his absolute peak autism obliviousnes#and Garak still wants him so bad. utterly pathetic to see. I'm obsessed with them.#also it sucks how we have to wait sooooooooo fucking long to see Garak again after that but it's also kind of hysterical#like DS9 said there is a full on Cardassian spy loose in the station. we will not be following up on this for an entire season btw.#he's just. hangin around.#Starky's Original Posts#Starky's Text Posts#garashir#garashir best ship because it's literally a former torturerspyassassin (all at once) whose tragic backstory is literally whatever you want#and the world's most adorable puppyish angelic twink who still sleeps with a teddy bear#STRAIGHT OUTTA WATTPAD FANFIC. I FUCKING LOVE YOU STAR TREK YOU CRAZY SON OF A BITCH#also didn't mean to imply that Julian's autism obliviousness is not an extremely sexy trait of his bc it is I just meant like#you wouldn't have thought it'd be so sexy to. a Cardassian and a spy. it's soooo funny#the way he has to desperately try to explain that the suit fitting is a metaphor. absolutely dickmatized RIP.

related to my last rb tho i'm gonna be a bit of a hater again, tho, and say it. you are all very lucky that steph was written as good as she was back in the 90s. all the issues (the jealousy, the not as compentent as male characters, the mistakes, the unreasonableness, etc etc) could have, in fact, been way worse. and might've been, actually, under another writer at the time.
#(especially under a female writer oops)#she was treated. actually kind of pretty well for the time period.#and lbr. the sexism present in tim's robin comic is downright tame compared to other comics of the time#(cough superboy cough. i mean. i liked it well enough but let's be real.)#idk maybe because i can very easily separate in my head what's there just because it's 90s media & to be expected.#it's easy for me to see the ways in which she was treated narratively very well despite the 90s ways in which she wasn't#obviously i'm talking pre-2003 this is ignoring anything war drums on.#anyways i think it's important to discuss the flaws & biases of the era#but i also think it's important to understand the culture of the era in which things were made#i feel this was about drake parenting too btw#and the overall cultural shift in how parenting is done & understanding the needing for parents to be absent#for the story of a child hero#but also at the time there were differences in what parents were taught was best practice and what was considered good parenting#there's so much that has changed as far as best practice & considered good in the past 10 years let alone the 80s and 90s

thinking about how kazuki probably mildly cherishes the moments when rei can be an asshole. like yeah hes being an asshole but it shows that hes comfortable enough to share his own thoughts freely(even to disagree with someone out loud is probably something new ), something which might not have always been an option for him.
#im sooo normal#ALSO NOT SAYING REIS AN ASSHOLE HES LITERLALY THE BEST EVER BUT HE CAN BE A LITTLE SHIT SOMETIMES#rei suwa#kazuki kurusu#kazurei#ALSO IM WRITING THE FIC BTW SFJSLDKJDSF#should i post wips?? do people do that??? H9USDOFPJ#im so emotional about them#rei makes me batshit part 982553429#buddy daddies#AND AGAIN I MEAN BEING AN ASSHOLE IN LIKE A LIGHTHEARTED WAY#SF89UODSF

after some thinking, i’m going to put a pause on all my jjk wips & work on some other things <3
#thanks for all ur kindness btw#& i’m sorry if you just follow me for jjk :(#i think this is the best thing for me to do regarding my feelings around the fandom & the only way i can truly put some distance between it#which this doesn’t mean i’ll stop writing for it forever <33 just for at least a couple weeks !!#i’m sorry this probably seems really silly and dramatic but#i just havent been happy on tumblr :(#& i won’t change my url or theme or anything !!! just loving kento from a distance lol#love u all so very much !!!!#and i just wanted to let you know in case you think i’m dropping kento forever (im not) or you’re waiting on something#but also feel free to unfollow if you don’t want to see my other work lol#i’ll also probably not consume much content of it either very sorry to my jjk mooties :(((

so of course I then thought about Impa some more, and about how the way I write impa is: everybody around her is like this all of the time
#thoughts#impa#shitpost#impa oot#thralls of power#litany of betrayal#descant of greatness#(maybe I need a unifying name for my AU/retelling btw)#Hyrule's Most Tired Babysitter#even ganondorf is kind of like the horrible kid that wants to burn you with cigarettes and *will* throw a full chair at your face#and you gotta be sooooo patient and remind yourself that the poor kid's home life must be a little rough#even though he *definitively* is hiding a knife behind his back and *will* stab you if you give him the chance#it's kind of funny because the way I write her is#everybody kind of treats her like garbage?#they don't mean to like I don't think they realize this#but they all fully take her for granted and expect her to be a pillar of strength always which in the context of the story#is COMPLETELY unreasonable to expect from someone who has basically been holding on by a thread for the best part of a decade#but she has been groomed on all sides to accept this as her lot and a reasonable expectation to uphold#BUT#at the same time#she might be the most morally gray character out of every single one of them#her semi-subjugation kind of eclipses this fact about her#but I think that on many regards she's harder to forgive than ganondorf#ganondorf is a bitch and delights in his own violence far more than she does#but at least he's consistent in who tends to get hurt and what for --and the cause itself can be argued as meaningful#meanwhile impa wronged SO many people for BAD reasons#I don't *blame* her all of the situations were shitty and almost none of them were actively her own fault#but she still participated at every turn and kind of hid behind the system partially by pretending she didn't have agency#which is... it's not *not* true but she still facilitated or participated in the murder/oppression of many people#and had agency in not seizing it for herself if that makes sense

Love how Zolu and Sanuso are both extremely poetic in their own ways. Because Zoro and Luffy could say "I'd go to hell and back for you. I would crave your name on my skin with my blades only for the universe to know I'm yours. I'd scream your name so loud so the Gods know I worship you as such. If my last breath is used for your will and honor, I'll die happily. I want to consume every part of you and live within your heart and soul" but Sanji and Usopp would also say "You're the stars I can't reach and the sea I want to drown in. You're so close yet so far away my heart aches with yearning. I stare at you from across the ship waiting and longing and hoping for you to let me in. We're the same, yet so different. I'll do what you can't do, and you'll do what I can't. You say you're nothing but you're everything to me. Every dream. Every hope. Every sigh. I'd give up the entire love of thousands for only a bit of yours" and I think it's really nice <3
#they mean the world to me#idk i think i just like how they're both extremely poetic in their own ways#zoro and luffy are more holy/religious imagery/worshipping poetic#while usopp and sanji are more best friends to lovers that yearn for years#most of these things come from zoro and sanji btw they're so dramatic i hate them#one piece#black leg sanji#roronoa zoro#monkey d. luffy#usopp#zolu#sanuso
