Don’t watch heroes

I decided to try designing a Metadede child and a Taransusie child, this is Meta Knight and Dedede’s daughter Cintia and Taranza and Susie’s daughter Clover. Before anyone asks how they exist, my lore for them is that both of them are clones, but instead of being cloned from one person they’re cloned from a combination of two people. I have more backstory about them and explanations for their names under the cut.

I wanted to give Cintia a moon-themed name (because of the moon theme in the final battle against Meta Knight and Dedede in Kirby Fighters 2), and I also wanted her to have a Spanish name because of Meta Knight’s accent in the anime. However, I didn’t want to call her Luna since she’s a princess and I didn’t want anyone to confuse her with the My Little Pony character Princess Luna. Cintia is the Spanish version of Cynthia, which means moon/is related to the moon goddess Artemis, so I called her that instead of Luna. The little gold and black design on her crown is supposed to be a crescent moon to further convey the moon theme. I feel like Meta Knight would call her by her full name most of the time but he might call her “mija” (“my daughter” in Spanish) or “pingüinita” (“little penguin” in Spanish) as a little affectionate nickname lmao, Dedede and most of the other characters would just call her Cindee.

For Clover, I wanted to give her a floral/plant themed name since she’s the princess of Floralia (in my AU of things Taranza becomes the king of Floralia after the events of Triple Deluxe, so that makes Clover a princess). Four leaf clovers are also symbols of good luck, and each leaf of a four leaf clover represents luck, faith, hope, and love, so I thought that it would be a nice meaningful name for her. Her full name is Clover Maxine Haltmann, she has Susie’s last name since Taranza doesn’t have one and her middle name is Maxine in honor of her grandfather Max.

Clover is the first one to be cloned, when Taranza and Susie are engaged and are preparing for their wedding. They go visit another planet to establish diplomatic relations between Floralia and the aliens on that planet, and after they mention that they’re getting married soon the aliens ask them if they’re planning to have kids. Taranza and Susie explain that they can’t have kids the usual way since they’re different species and that wouldn’t work, but the aliens are experts at cloning and have technology that allows them to clone children for couples who are different species. The aliens clone Clover as a wedding gift for Taranza and Susie, not realizing that the two of them saying that they couldn’t have kids didn’t necessarily mean that they wanted to have kids lmao… it all works out though, Taranza and Susie didn’t expect to get Clover but they’re still happy to have her and they return to Popstar with her. After seeing Clover, Dedede and Meta Knight decide that they want to have a kid, so they go visit the aliens and ask them to clone one for them, and that’s where Cindee comes from. I drew Cindee and Clover as little kids here so I could give them some outfits and convey their personalities a bit, but I’ll have to draw them again as babies.

oh, don’t mind me, just over here being the most unlovable creature in existence

I can regulate my emotions just fine as long as I can cut myself :3

home from work

.

Hozier actually asked Angel what he was thinking about in this scene

And then he wrote these lyrics right after

“I do not have wings, love

I never will

Soaring over a world you are carrying

If these heights should bring my fall

Let me be your own

Icarian carrion”

hello. in today’s unhinged news my brother surprised me by paying me back the (very hefty) chunk of change he’s owed me forever and now i’m flying to melb with a stranger from discord to camp out for paramore’s last show in two days 🤯🤡

NEW THEME WHO THIS?? 🙈

Voting democrat will do nothing to stop the genocide in Palestine. However it’s still disingenuous to pretend that democrats being in office is somehow no different than republicans being in office

I think the most important part we have to take into consideration with Gina and EJ’s relationship is that they both really wanted it to work. Both of them tried and, to some extent, fought to keep the relationship afloat.

We have Gina who pretty much stuffs her feelings for Ricky down, down, down. (and we know her feelings are still there for many reasons, first of all she never got closure, also the “who said anybody would” line in 3x01, “and for the first time in forever i won’t be alone” look she gave ricky in 3x02, and so on!) She does this to completely focus on her “Summer of Firsts” with EJ.

Then we have EJ who had this pile of responsibility packed on top of him at the last minute and has completely abandoned Gina (yes it’s not his fault! but it still happened) despite promising her the best summer of fun. Even though a lot of lies and secrets and miscommunication came to the surface due to his new position as director, they still managed to make up in during the beginning of 3x06 “Color Wars”, and focus on the rest of the summer.

Even though her and EJ were back to how they were, EJ still wasn’t around. Ricky, himself, asks where EJ is and asks EJ where he’s going. Like even Ricky notices EJ keeps leaving Gina. Again, I know it’s because of his responsibility, and because he was with Miss Jenn the whole episode (I won’t even get into him lying to Gina again about Miss Jenn, but maybe another day) but it still happened. I think a funny thing to also point out is Gina stating how much she wanted Blue team to win for her and EJ, and Blue team.. lost.

This is when I feel like Gina really thinks of one last big gesture to give EJ to really salvage their relationship. Ricky (my son who loves her so much and just wants her to be happy) helps her set up this adorable “Kiss the Girl” inspired decoration with the canoe. They bring EJ to surprise him and that’s where Gina asks him to prom. EJ immediately shuts her down and claims it’s because they don’t allow dates to the prom, to not hurt anybody’s feelings. I could get into how much his delivery towards rejecting Gina’s Promposal bothers me, but again.. that’s for another day. At the end of the day, he just said no! Then he told her he had to get back to work so they should just sit there for a little bit and wait for the fireworks. I believe that Gina interpreted that as EJ telling her to just sit there and wait for either of them to feel something for the other again and she asks “is that a metaphor?” but EJ reiterates that no there are real fireworks and they’ll be “any minute” now. And the fireworks never came.

Going back to what I said in the beginning, both EJ and Gina wanted the relationship to work. EJ even tells her he’s going to fight for her to stay in Salt Lake. But the fireworks never came. You can put as much effort as you want into a relationship, you can want a relationship to work out reallllyyyyy bad, but sometimes you’re simply just not meant to be? Sometimes a pair just isn’t compatible. Sometimes a couple loses their spark and their passion after that initial honeymoon phase. and that’s okay. There doesn’t need to really be a (strong) outside force, or a super clear explanation as to why the fireworks didn’t come. They just weren’t meant to be.

It’s also important to point out that Ashlyn asked Miss Jenn about Mike Bowen earlier in the episode and how she knew she wanted to get on the boat with ricky’s dad and Miss Jenn answered fireworks! The scene right after Gina and EJ’s was Ashlyn’s realization of her sexuality. The fireworks came for both Miss Jenn and Ashlyn, but not for portweII and the look they both make at the end, really shows they know it too.

WE’RE GONNA HEAR KENPACHI BEG UNOHANA TO LIVE IN ANIMATED COLOR SOON

i randomly found my old blog again and WOW ,,,, TELL ME WHY IM SAD i even stalked my old moots’ blogs too and i- 😭 the way so many things have changed since then :(

reading the buried giant at home and project hail mary at work and the contrast between them is a bit jarring tbh

Getting into a popular franchise years ago and becoming really invested in ships that had 0 canon potential, then living through that franchise’s spectacular bellyflop from grace, and now through attempts to pander to you by out of nowhere teasing those old popular crack ships you never expected to have any chance in hell of becoming canon, has certainly been an experience

😵‍💫
