There is one interpretation that I really like of Ghetsis as someone taking psych and planning on branching out into that field if medical illustrator gets absorbed by Ai (it’s ok you can laugh)

.and that is the “product of his environment” take.

No one is really born evil, their unhealthy and manipulative tendencies are bound to develop if they are neglected/don’t receive help/don’t seek out help. Yes, many disorders can be developed over time such as C-ptsd/PTSD, Agorophobia, but most are genetically inherited such as BPD,Autism or ADHD, PMDD, and Stemming from Fragile X syndrome , or just chemical imbalances from birth.

Their are also environmental factors ie; being raised as such, bullying, and traumatic accidents.

Hell he could’ve even stemmed down the path of his whole team plasma thing , if was after his hydragon incident. If he was struck in the head area, specifically to the frontal lobe. He could’ve had a complete and utter mental 180. (Hydragons/deinos are stated as being EXTREMELY aggressive in the Pokédex entries.) taking frontal lobe damage can alter decision making or emotional response. A good case of this is Phineas Gage, a railroad worker who had a personality shift after having a pole go though the left side of his noggin (I highly recommend you do your own reading, the case is so interesting)

Ghetsis was capable of change. He was just never put in an environmen/taught to do so. He continues the cycle of abuse with N, and N was the one to stop it.

Anyways thanks for listing to my weird mental illness rant, I love psychology and medical things. And I really do have a passion for the research. And if I did say anything wrong please correct me! I’d hate to spew misinformation!

Introducing everyone to my Alastor headcannon!

He's a deer right? And what are deer well-known for? Yes, yes, staring un-waveringly into your soul in the middle of a country road in the twilight hours.

But what else are they known for?

As soon as something happens, they are GONE. They run so fast and with such wild-abandon to just get the fuck out of wherever they are they they go hurtling through the brush never to be seen again.

This brings my to my head cannon - Alastor is easily skittish, he is just fortunate that his deer-caught-in-headlights instinct takes over long enough for him to grapple with his fear and restrain the part of himself that wants to flee, so instead he just stares unwavering and intimidatingly with that cocky grin until he has enough composure to begin talking again.

Now, sometimes, sometimes his instincts are too strong. And sometimes, he cannot stay composed, especially after a particularly bad fright, like bumping into Nifty or Angel Dust stalking the corridors of the hotel silently at night. What happens then? Alastor freezes for mere seconds, and then goes hurtling as fast as he can in whatever direction his feet decide to take him.

Sometimes, much to his dismay, his feet decide to propel him into the nearest wall before he even realises where he is heading.

This has led to many encounters where Alastor appears to bolt head-first into a wall for no other explanation than he felt like it, and he leaves Angel Dust as confused as ever as he bounces back from the impact, shocked from his deer-like-terror, and begins a conversation as normal, ignoring the new antler shaped hole in the wall he had just careened into.

No one dares question him about this odd behaviour, and the residents of the hotel have just had to accept that they often see the sole's of his shoes as he sprints full-pelt away from them at the drop of a hat.

"If Not a King..."

My last drawing request/story idea type deal till further notice. And of course, is anyone surprised it's Marxolor? ^^

[full ask below the read more]

@dr34myg34rm4f0l0r Turns out I went with the post-epilogue version you put forth instead of the "to make fun of each other" one but it still turned out fairly light-hearted, I'd say?

...Light-hearted for me of course ^^;;;

#Kirby #Marx Kirby #Magolor #Marxolor #An unusually fluffy Marxolor from Dess XD #And with the return of emotionally vulnerable Marx!#(For those who remember me saying I'd do more of that)#The style on this one is... very experimental #I have no explanation for it ^^ (hint: it is laziness)#Speaking of laziness you can't see it but Magolor is in his shopkeeper garb (no gears and less rings around his ears)#It's been fun drawing everyone's ideas but again gotta close myself off from requests/suggestions or I'll never get my own stuff done ^^;;

I have two Adam ships

Salvation Hotel AU, where Luci saw Adam be created and was like; Goddamn, i want him carnally, stole his first wife, tricked his second into eating the fruit of knowledge, and made a deal with him.

In my HH rewrite where its more crackship like Adam and Mammon because I am still figuring out how they would meet.

#luci in SHAU follows the more christian interpretation so just imagine he's less goofy and more fanon luci from years ago #i have no explanation for mammon and adam because i just thought it would be cool for them to be a guitarduo ship #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel au #hazbin hotel adam #hazbin hotel lucifer #guitarduo #adamsapple

SO. i was able to figure out the general structure of the script JLH leaked.

[explanation under the cut]

in order for all this to make sense, the first thing you need to know is that in north america all screenplays (scripts) are written in the same format

knowing this, we can deduce the general structure of the scene and even the length of some of the words

first we need to address the big question everyone's been asking:

are they talking about Bobby or Eddie?

screenplays are always typed in courier font, and in courier the capital letters B and E are identical at their left sides.

so while i enjoy people trying to figure out if the blurry letter in line 24 is a B or an E, the answer is it could honestly be either

where we really need to look is line one. the screengrab is blurry so i've outlined the word "going" and circled the area we should pay attention to

at first, the last letter of the prior word looks like an undistinguishable blob, but there is actually one key thing we can discern from it: the letter can't be y, it doesn't hang low enough

there is a chance that the word is not a name and is "he" which would not rule out Bobby or Eddie. however, that would mean the conversation goes on for at least 14 lines without mentioning "him" by name which is (heavily) frowned against in screenwriting. so chances are they're talking about Eddie

also, with what we know about the characters it's most likely Eddie. can you really see Bobby not talking to Buck because of... well, anything? and we already know that Eddie has a difficult time communicating. so i've decided to go with him for this script but haven't 100 per cent ruled Bobby out

moving on to the actual script itself, anything not highlighted in red is something i'm confident is either the exact wording or something similar. the red sections are the parts that i'm less confident in or know are incorrect somehow

Maddie's first dialogue block is the part i had the most trouble with. with context from the following conversation i figured that she probably asked something along the lines of when [Eddie] will be back at work. the main issue with this section is that the top line is actually six letters shorter than what i have written. this also means that the word that follows "going" has to be at least eight letters long. i tried messing around with the dialogue a bit but couldn't come up with something that would fit the appropriate letter count so for now i just wrote a line similar to what i think the actual line probably is

line six has to be either 12 or 13 spaces long and the first word has to be at least four letters long so i used "really soon" as a place holder, but i'm not completely confident in it

for line eight i initially had "Oh, that's good." but the line was one space short so i changed the "Oh" to "Hey" instead. i don't feel too poorly about this one but it still doesn't feel right to me. if the actual script says "Hey" i wouldn't be surprised if JLH changes it to something else or forgoes the exclamation completely

the final line is just a rough guess of what it could be. i'm not sure how formal the 911 writers are with action lines so i just took a random guess. some writers are extremely formal with action lines while others are more comedic with it (Neil Gaiman is a great example of this). i'm guessing the 911 writers are more the former but i honestly have no clue

#should i be working on my own screenplay rn instead of analyzing someone else's?#probably but i'm doing this anyway #if anyone wants any explanation on the other lines let me know #it's honestly just a lot of knowing how screenplays are written and knowing the 'rules' of script writing #911 abc #911 fox #s7 #911 speculation #911 spoilers #spec #maddie buckley #evan buckley #eddie diaz #bobby nash #OH and before anyone mentions it yes it is “on THE basketball court” not “a”#it has to be a three letter word #so my guess is they were talking about the bball court/game prior to talking about whoever buck assaulted lmao #since “the” is a more personal/less generalized word #also no americans come after me for spelling it per cent #i realized when checking it over that some of y'all might be little shits (affectionate) about it #long post

I've made this post before but it continues to amuse me that jon went to georgie, his relatively amicable ex, for help in a time of great need and vulnerability. and she was the only person he saw for about two months. and he spent those two months wearing her clothes. and yet she is one of the few people that martin was not jealous of at all.

#martin 'jealousy' blackwood meeting georgie for the first time: you should hang out with jon more tbh. he needs friends. not me though xoxo.#tma #marina marvels at life #there are other explanations for this but I like the idea that martin is just self aware enough to go #'I can't be weird abt his nice relationship w his ex that's stupid and so classically toxic. I only wish death on ppl who mean less to him.

women who were the only girl with F/F ships in their mostly-sapphic teen friend group, and had to feign interest in the Pretty Gay Anime Boys Of The Week to talk to their friends at all, deserve financial compensation

#fandom #why do so many queer women only like M/M ships? like I've heard the 'it's less personal so I can enjoy it more' explanation and You Do You!#but I don't think I'll ever fully understand #and my god was it tiresome in my teen years #I was the only one who cared about the female characters like 75% of the time- and we were all queer girls!#we'd all read the same book or manga and I'd be like 'so when female main character-'#only to get steamrolled with 'OMG THIS GUY AND THIS GUY ARE MY EVERYTHING!!! THEY NEED TO GET MARRIED!!!' from all sides #repeat for every. single. thing. we all watched or read together #and if I liked something that didn't have shippable men nobody else would engage with it

love it when a character that's hard to read intuitively for you has like a dedicated fandom interpreter who can just glance at their blank face in a panel and then give you a 3k word essay on their innermost thoughts & desires & fears and neatly tie it back into the themes & whatnot as if it's the most obvious thing in the world

#im talking about griffith btw #guts i feel i get intuitively - maybe because i have some personality traits in common with him #and we get more about his life concretely told to us in canon. so he is a bit easier to pin down as a character and feel attached to for me #but whenever i was reading the manga i just kept wanting more insight about griffith's actions and feelings #like ok yeah its fun to have mysterious antagonists and suspense /tension etc but its also fun to feel like you deeply understand them too #and i felt like that was a bit missing from him for me in canon #so reading about him in analysis and fics is the most fun for me rn #he always felt kinda half unreal to me- which maybe was the point of him - but i wanted a bit more about his childhood or something?#and wished we had more stuff explicitly from his pov in the story to read or explanation about his transformation or wtv #and now he's so much more closed off to me even than he was in the golden age. i keep waiting for him to explain stuff and he does not #ANYWAYS all this rambling to say some people out there are very good at interpreting him and making his like. insecurities #more obvious to me bc i didnt really get that side of him from canon intuitively well #also im really enjoying reading the first few berserk fics ive read #there may not be a ton of them out there but there is def writing talent in the fandom #i'll share some recs once i'm done sifting through most of what's out there to read #also (not to tie everything back to death note but it IS my home fandom after all)#i feel griffith is obvs the more light-like character here and L maybe a bit guts-like? but unlike berserk in death note #light is the one you get to know best and L is the mysterious / unreal one you don't get a lot of concrete insight into #and in the DN fandom I can read the more mysterious character intuitively but had to warm up to the less mysterious one instead #and the mystery of L makes sense to me and doesnt bug me as much due to like - he HAS to hide a lot about himself or else he will die lol #so some similarities there but also some opposite feels as well #berserk spoilers #p

TW: Heavy talk about death

I think the reason why Kai and Cole had such a radical emotional change after March of the Oni was because Lloyd died

We’ve had plenty of characters die in Ninjago, and it always had a horrific affect on the ninja emotionally. Despite all their adventures and godlike powers they’re still older teenagers and young adults- of course when their sibling or lover dies in the fight they’re gonna want to avoid the fight itself

I think it was different for Lloyd tho- Lloyd despite losing the golden power is still the most powerful ninja. He’s not meant to lose, out of all of the ninja he’s the one who’s least likely to die and I think they know that.

So when he died facing down the Oni, even briefly, that would make the ninja doubtful and even afraid of their own mortality-

Kai’s hotheadedness and desire for the fury of battle dies when he see’s his little brother unresponsive on the floor. If he can die, so can Kai

Coles stubborn facade and die hard attitude gets a reality check when the kid who defeated the incarnate of evil lies dead in front of him

It would just be a reality check for them. Both have had to look death in the eyes many times before, but experiencing death is something that they themselves wouldn’t often think about.

Just a theory

#yes I know it was really cause S11 sucked #I just like to connect the dots for shows and make up canon explanations for things that only happened cause of decisions in our world #it’s fun #I also only did cole and jay cause their character changes caused them to be more timid #Jays was about being less selfish which I think is because his selfishness was caused by being scared #so he’d horde what makes him happy and would be terrified if it seemed like it was leaving #sadly he needed to have the yin yang bond with Nya to finally see she wasn’t leaving him #so he didn’t have to worry anymore #ninjago #lego ninjago #ninjago secrets of the forbidden spinjitzu #ninjago kai #ninjago cole #kai smith #cole brookstone

Cass, covered in dirt and grime: Hey, I'm finally back. What did I miss— *she stops short upon seeing Barbara and Steph hanging out with another Cass* Barbara: Steph: Other Cass: Cass, pointing at the other Cass: Who is that? Barbara: We thought it was you... Cass: I was trapped in the Spirit World and then Black Canary asked me to go with her on a mission right after I made my way back. I haven't been in Gotham since Lazarus Planet. Steph: ...Then who have we been hanging out with? *they turn to look at the other Cass but she's already gone* Steph: Yo, who was that? Who the hell was that?!

#batgirl #cassandra cain #stephanie brown #barbara gordon #return of the doppelcass #my friend's joke explanation: what happened was that while xanthe and constantine were trying to figure out how to get to the spirit world #xanthe made a joss paper doll of cass that they then used their powers to transform into more or less the real deal to fool the batfam #and this is the cass that's been in the batman main title and consequently gotham war

hey does anyone who knows how cgi works wanna explain tristamp to me. bc i’m intrigued and fascinated and i could just use google but that’s boring.

namely, i may be a little slow, but i didn’t even realize it was cgi until i was thinking about how there’s more…motion? than i’m used to in animation. like it didnt key in my brain that it was 3d. i figured they must be using some crazy framerate and be extremely dedicated. so i looked it up.

which is when i found out that it is a) 100% cgi and b) on a limited framerate?? i think i saw 12fps?? also some people called it choppy which it does not seem like to me but perhaps i just don’t have an eye for it. i’m not an artist.

but i don’t understand? i mean. i understand 2d animation pretty well. i know a lot of stylistic things in animation are done to avoid Too Much Drawing, but i don’t. know how cgi works, conceptually. meryl’s bangs move very slightly in the wind all the time, and ik that wasn’t done by hand.

i mean. it’s computer-generated, right. so are we at the point where the computers just know physics? programming hurts my brain. help.

it’s probably way simpler than i’m making it out to be. i just think it’s cool, especially how close to 2d it looks

#bird noises #trigun stampede #animation #i dont know what to tag #i always do this #i get attached to a thing and then i make it way more complicated in my brain than it actually is #i did it with interior book design which is not relevant but it is cool as FUCK to me #and way less artistic/more technical than i thought :((#i was sad about that one #anyway if anyone out there knows how this works or has a link to a good explanation!#also IF I USED WORDS WRONG OR EXPLAINED SOMETHING WEIRD be nice pls bc i will cry about it

Would anyone. Would anyone be interested in a writing system for the enlightened language

#kotlc #keeper of the lost cities #the enlightened script #i've got the examples written up but not the explanations (which might be long) so i kinda want to know if people are interested #(i mean let's be honest i'll probably post it anyway)#BUT it's not a proper writing system for the 'enlightened language' mind you #(because we only know one word of the language except for all the names which are. varied to say the least #and the only example of it written out is Vespera's symbol that's stylised and a signature so probably not accurate)#(also i know nothing about making one properly)#but more a way to transcribe english words (with the same spelling sorry) into the 'enlightened language'. for names or inscriptions #you know what less rambling more fake asking

Hah, thanks @beansthekid for giving me a chance to ramble a bit more!

I think there are many different and equally valid ways to interpret Eddie’s relationship with the Corroded Coffin crew; we really do not get very much canon material at all, which means it’s all very open to interpretation. However, I personally tend to read them as friendly acquaintances more than friends, because Eddie doesn't seem to treat them with any true closeness.

In the few scenes they share, Eddie sort of treats them like undifferentiated sidekicks/minions/audience. He seems basically fond of them, and I don't think his attitude comes from any sort of disrespect or dislike. Rather, I think it’s more about Eddie’s own comfort level: in general, I read Eddie as very skittish about relationships. He likes to keep people at a certain remove, and he likes to be in control of that distance.

We don't see him confiding in anyone or being intentionally vulnerable...right up until Steve and "guess I got a little jealous." Even with Chrissy, though he was definitely trying to present himself as friendly and harmless, he was absolutely putting on a little performance the entire time. He was taking on an entertainer role. He's willing to be seen as ridiculous, because that's the class-clown side of him, but it's not the same thing as letting down his guard. People laughing at him for his antics can't hurt him, at this point. Admitting he's fond enough of Dustin to make that a weakness, and being honest about feeling inadequate—that is vulnerability.

I do think it's plausible that that little jealousy confession was prompted in part by guilt over the whole broken-bottle thing. To be clear, I don't think Eddie's boatshed reaction was wildly out of line; at that point, he had zero information/context that would lead him to conclude that anyone out looking for him was on his side, much less Steve Harrington.

He was also scared out of his mind and literally shaking with adrenaline and fear, but he still didn’t actually hurt anyone. He could have shanked Steve and made a run for it, but I read him as someone who fundamentally does not want to hurt or scare people for real. He wants to make them uncomfortable, sure—or at the very least he doesn’t really care if they’re made uncomfortable by how he looks and acts. But actually being the villain of a story? That doesn’t fit with his values or his self-image.

So it would make sense if afterwards, he felt an outsized and misplaced sense of guilt about that little encounter, and let that spur him to offer up a little bit of honesty. It’s an intimacy he doesn’t extend to anyone else in the entire show.

I mean—hell, I am fully fixated on this little exchange:

Nancy: Hey, it’s Nancy.

Eddie: Wheeler, hey!

It would be way, way more natural to mirror her intro and call her Nancy, but instead he does this weird surname thing (and continues to call her by her surname) despite the fact that he already knows another Wheeler who is presumably also potentially tuned in. Why on earth would he do this. There are so many siblings in the group. The only way I can make sense of it is as a distancing mechanism that he leans on.

By the end, he does start addressing some people by their first names, some of the time. I haven’t done a full accounting, but I’m pretty sure it’s mostly just Dustin and Steve (not counting the “this is for you, Chrissy” moment).

But back to the Corroded Coffin lads: the biggest tell, for me, is that they had band practice without him. They knew he was missing, and either they knew he’d be a suspect/in trouble or they didn’t know him well enough to recognize his trailer on the news. They’re just kids, so it’s fairly reasonable that they wouldn’t be trying to take any action to find/help Eddie, but it seems unbearably callous that they’d just be having a normal band practice. I still don’t really know how to fold that into my understanding of their dynamics, but one possible interpretation is that they aren’t used to thinking of him as someone who ever really gets hurt, so they figure it’ll all just blow over somehow.

Eddie’s obviously taken on a leadership position in their little group. He’s the DM, he runs the show. But we don’t have a sense that he’s got a second-in-command or a trusted advisor that he confides in, much less someone he sees as a true peer in a give-and-take way.

Again, I don’t think any of this means he doesn’t like the Corroded Coffin boys. On the contrary, I think he probably cares about them very much in the same way he loves Dustin. My read on Eddie is that he sees himself as a protector who is in some way responsible for them and their well-being, cultivating an interdependent community that he doesn’t really get to partake in. His sense of self-worth lies in his ability to be a shield, standing between his lost little sheep and the wolves of Hawkins. He draws fire and takes the hits, and that’s a very lonely position to be in.

And then…Steve Harrington.

#askbox #stranger things meta #this is very disorganized but hopefully the main ideas come through #general caveat as always that the most straightforward explanation is 'inadequate/inconsistent writing'#but this is the characterization/dynamic that I've more or less settled on as best fitting my understanding of the narrative #ST meta for TS

i will say tho as someone with memory issues we can like. talk abt this situation without calling that part into question. if i write something and can't remember/find the source, i Tell people that, i don't act like i came up with it myself. and as he says himself, there is plenty he could have been doing to mitigate those issues, and he didn't. and we can question if he's telling the truth about specific parts without questioning if he actually Has Memory Issues or epilepsy or head trauma, he can have those things and still use it as a convenient excuse to explain away active choices. similar to the suicide attempt i don't feel like this is the kind of thing it's the public's place to stick our noses in when we can criticize him just fine without it

#james somerton #and honestly this is less from a place of 'you shouldnt because its ableist overall' although that is part of it #its mostly coming from 'memory issues are so fucking hard to have because no matter how hard you try people will always #doubt your honesty because of things you forget‚ and that Really Fucking Sucks if you really are telling the truth'#like when you were a kid did you ever get in trouble for something your sibling did and then get in more trouble for 'lying'?#or 'making excuses' when ur like !!!! theyre not excuses its just an explanation #and like. to be clear. that shit was almost 100% excuses. like i said he can have these things for real and Also use it as an excuse #and he was still lying about Many Things #but idk on the off chance that part was true i dont want to be part of turning that around on someone else no matter how much they suck #origibberish
