#ok this one is REALLY interesting to me#the dancing zim model is not a pose i remember seeing in the branding guide and mf usually sticks to those#this is one of the very few instances i can think of of the taxi or the massive logo being used in merch#the font isnt an iz font OR one of the minimalist generic ones#just a lot going on here and i dig it all#iz#invader zim#y2k#gir#zim#merch#nickelodeon#mighty fine

It's been six months since Forever called Phil "Philza senpai" and got a (virtual) kiss.
#Philza#ForeverPlayerG#Forever Player#QSMP#Sugarduo#Forever#Phil#I'm not interested in sugarduo as a ship (one sided sugarduo is very funny to me though)#But their IRL and in-game friendship means the frickin WORLD to me dude#Forever was the first Brazilian streamer I got attached to and mannnn#it went from 0 to 100 in SECONDS#I'll be honest the first thing that got me was the day after the Brazilians arrived#when Phil was talking to Chat and telling us Forever messaged him after the event and asked him if he was ok with the flirting#since he didn't want to make Phil uncomfortable#and I was like ''Oh. Forever is a sweetheart.''#And then the thing that REALLY got me was when Forever talked to Chayanne and Tallulah privately#and he asked them if they / Phil needed help with their Egg tasks#(At the time their schedules weren't matching up with Phil's stream schedule so it was hard to get all their tasks done during the week)#and then Chayanne threatened Forever saying he'd kill Forever if he ever did anything weird to their family#and Forever smiled in a very fond ''that's good; this is a good kid; I'm glad he's standing up for his family'' way#And I was like ''Oh he's REALLY a sweetheart''#His reaction after Tallulah + Bobby's death was hook line and sinker for me too#I could go on and on about Forever. I care about him so much. Sweet guy who loves too much#Anyways#Q

i am the cattt just chillin outt but in the night she's all i think aboutttt
#zeno's art#i feel so strong 😭 when shes around 😭 she picks me up 😭 when 😭 i 😭 am 😭 down 😭#even i can admit that i love the full theme song. anyway!#for this redesign i also wanted him to feel less generic but in a different way to marinette#i wanted his civilian clothes to look comfortable and stylish so hes like ... a rich boy who doesnt really dress like a rich boy#idk#i got rid of the purple to keep everything cohesive and because it annoyed me#and i tried to make the outfit less simiar to maris too. why were they both wearing nearly matching jacket shirt jeans ensembles???#i also wanted to make his hair look a bit smart with the side part but also a little rebellious with the spiked hair#that also creates a subtle cat ear silhouette.#with the chat noir suit: the original looks very uncomfortable and embarrassing to wear for a 14 year old (i think theyre 14 in the show?)#i remember that one of the designers for itsv said that most teens would be embarrassed wearing a spandex/tight suit if they were superheros#and thats why miles wore shorts and a jacket and shoes over his#so i thought 'ill make chat's suit more comfy'#rather than his weird leather suit its more loose esp in the legs to make an interesting silhouette#the cat scratches on the suit + the messier hair also signify rebellion#and the belt mirrors that of my ladybug redesign#the graident tail is just to match plagg + it looks cool#ok done rambling!#miraculous ladybug#mlb#adrien agreste#chat noir#cat noir#plagg#zag studios hire this man

it probably wasn't the smartest decision to start an ongoing 1000+ chapter webnovel when i know it'll consume my every waking thought but here we are
open for better quality | no reposts
#turning novel#터닝#kishiar la orr#yuder aile#when i tell you i read the manhwa in one go last night and then started reading the novel today bc commenters said it was good#and my god were they right#i'm 40+ chapters in so i've just passed where the manhwa is at rn and wow#first of all thank god there are high quality and easily accessible translations#second of all kuyu-nim has a way of making all the lines carry weight. the dialogue and body language cues especially#like i'm definitely not that far in but there are already a few lines i can point out that made my heart clench#and the tension between the two leads is so so palpable#kishiar is very enigmatic i'm very interested in finding out what he's really thinking and what his abilities are#and i really appreciate the way yuder's development is focused on him caring about others and relying on them#ok and third the fact that it's a slow burn romance but focuses heavily on the plot and politics and relationships is so good#based on the tags this could have been very tropey but they didn't go that route and i'm glad for it#in other news i'm upset about how yuder came out but i have to post him bc i will not separate them ;;;#thought kishiar would be harder to draw bc he's pretty:tm: and i struggle drawing pretty boys but yuder put me through the wringer fr#anyway!! i love them very much!! going a little insane over them as you can see!!

On my walk home from the cafe I was thinking about Sanji (as one does) and how every influence in his life for 19 years screamed at him to hunker down, stay silent, and never appear weak.
As much as I love Zeff and know he loved Sanji, it's clear he has such a straight-laced and unflinching view of masculinity and what it means to be a man. The environment on the Baratie was an extension of that.
It was a machismo world where affection was hidden behind kicks to the head and insults. The kind of environment where cutting your hand or something gets a response of "what? You call that an injury? Don't cry over nothing". Where outright kindness has to be dragged out of people, and then immediately covered up with a half-baked insult.
Throw into that environmemt a little boy who is desperate to prove he's not the failure he was told he was, and out pops a man who wears his heart on his sleeve for "acceptable manly emotions" but who hides real emotions behind anger, and hides pain (physical or emotional) altogether so as not to seem weak.
Tack onto that the idea that the only surefire way to show love is through self sacrifice (his mom + Zeff), then of course Sanji will be all sorts of jacked up.
We see throughout the series how Sanji is so unwilling to be vulnerable or to even admit he's feeling hurt at all. Plaster a smile on, make some comment about loving women, and voila! He's the man's man everyone expects. No need to worry about him. After all: he's strong.
...🥺
#op meta#the news coo latest#sanji#i have like 10 different sanji-centric fics rolling around in the ol' noggin#but every single one of them features at least one scene where someone (Zoro) sees through his hyper-masculine bullshit#what really interests me is when sanji is forced to confront that fucked up view of the self he has#like for example: Zoro gets hurt and allows himself to rest or something and is unapologetically fine with being 'weak'#sanji so desperately wants to rib him for it but zoro is so stoic about it that he starts to realize 'oh...its ok...to not be ok? publicly?'#imma sit here and stew on this for awhile#Anyway the coffee from the cafe is good but now I need to go read as much Sanji trauma dump fic I can get my hands on lol#to be clear btw: i dont doubt zeff cared for sanji when he was down but i feel sanji had to be in a bad way to get the 'real emotions'

Sometimes, I don't like looking at Frieren fandom things is because it feels so alienating as an aroace person sometimes.
I relate to Frieren in a lot of ways. The way she goes through life at her own speed, the way she has a certain way of doing things that is hard to change, the way she struggles to fully understand others but is still compassionate and tries, and last but not least, the way she doesn't feel romantic or sexual attraction the way most people do.
So when a fan posts something about how elves like Frieren don't really feel romantic or sexual attraction and it's wonderful that Himmel's unrequited love with her is still portrayed as something beautiful, healthy and valued, but the comments section is just filled with people being like: No!!!! That's not true!!! Frieren loves Himmel even though she doesn't realise it!!!!
Or even the more "generous" ones are like: No!!! She is just falling in love with him years later!!! The whole story is about how she regrets not pursuing it until it was too late!!!!
And like, every person has their own interpretation and ships. But it really is a bit saddening as an aroace person that sees Frieren also as an aroace who probably would never feel as much romantic love for Himmel EVER. People have almost this... need to correct people that Frieren loves Himmel romantically.
#sousou no frieren#frieren at the funeral#talking to myself#aromantic#aroace#asexual#of course. i have only watched the anime. but the source material itself has said that elves are not in touch with their romantic feelings#i think that is VERY aroace#and should therefore make frieren's feelings up for interpretation#and less of smth ppl rush to correct. like its AWFUL that frieren doesnt return himmel's feelings#and it hurts me a bit... because i see so much of myself in frieren#why r ppl ok with her living her life at mostly her own pace and struggling to understand ppl#but not so much with her aroace-ness.... u know?#and if anyone is interested abt my interpretation of frieren's feelings#frieren sees himmel as a pillar and closest friend. her entire journey is her grief over losing such an important person in her life#the only other person like that for her was flamme. and she managed to spend time with her till her death#but she miscalculated this one and ended up only staying with him for ten years#((another reason why i really connect with frieren is definitely her grief and regrets))

ok heres this. how i interpreted his fears at least
#rnm spoilers#most of them r said pretty plainly but whatever LOL i love lists#interesting how u can see mortys Main fear of relying on rick right from the start#not sure abt the ‘rick putting them in danger one’#its in tbat little loop of Rick Fears#which im not quite sure what to make of. so thats the closest i can get#its definitely smth hes doen a lot. so theres that#SCARY IMPLICATIONS of morty having overcome his reliance on rick. or at least his fear of it#like in conquering the hole alone hes realised he doesnt really Need rick.#like maybe one day therell be a time he gets in trouble and rick Wont bail him out. or cant. but hes ok w that now?#hmmmm. intersting. very curious to see where that goes#themost painful one for me is being responsible for ricks sadness#liek thsts so fucking rough.#GETTING PERSONAL…. like i know how it feels to be a kid and feel responsible for the emotions of adults. it sucks balls#itd be interesting to see if All of these fesrs have been conquered or just the reliance one

i unironically love the Rat Grinders so much and its so funny to me that everyone on tumblr has jumped onto hating them so vehemently; these kids are transmigration light novel protagonists and it's hilarious. they reached level 100 killing nothing but slimes etc etc
that crap is some of the most soul crushing work imaginable. i will forcequit any video game the moment it's clear that grinding is the only way to advance because i hate it so much. they're not having fun. they're not enjoying the work. they got stuck with a DM who thinks XP leveling is worthwhile and they're slogging through it in the most tedious and boring way possible. they're 'powergaming' in only the most loose definition of the term. they're having the worst high school experience of anyone. they've traumabonded over spending 33 hours a week in abject misery and have now turned feral
#fantasy high#di20#i also absolutely believe they have beef we haven't even heard of yet#like WHY have they been rat grinding? literally no one could EVER want to do that!#i ASSUME they don't WANT to be doing that so there must be an interesting story about how this all happened!#anyway i'm adopting all of them. holding their hands gently. showing them the healing mercies of milestone leveling#honestly that revelation just gave me flashbacks to the time one of my players really wanted to do XP leveling#and I had to like. actually SHOW them what I was doing at the end of every single encounter and session#before they were like 'oh. ok i get why you say this sucks'

Which best describes the mindset that you will play Touchstarved with, in terms of how you perceive the main character?
#apologies for phrasings#touchstarved#touchstarved poll#touchstarved game#I struggled with how to word this#but I'm wondering how you all intend to play the game#bc honestly it's cool to see people's OCs but I don't think I've ever made an OC...or had interest in making one?#I give my MC a different name but still make choices as if I was her- she's not an 'other' from me with a different personality etc#and then I'll go through again without any roleplaying and think like 'ok now I'm gonna be really rash in this playthrough and see if it#dooms me#but seeing all the ocs people have made me start to wonder if maybe I was an anomaly haha :p

reached the end of the tears of the dragon questline. I knew it I had a feeling ever since my discovery yesterday I had a feeling and I am so so so sad and horrified but that was badass what a great idea A+ game you have such a good story opportunity here please please grab it
#totk spoilers#totk liveblog#loz liveblog#ok gonna try to be as vague as possible but like. dont read if you don't want spoilers. im serious#ok so the fact that i literally said ''i'm afraid they will reduce zelda to a sacred power''#and then ''OMG THE GAME REMEMBERS ZELDA IS A PERSON WHO HAS INTERESTS AND TRAITS AND ISN'T JUST HER ABILITIES''#and THEN. THIS HITS ME OVER THE HEAD. THE ULTIMATE TOOLIFICATION OF ONE ZELDA BOSPHORAMUS HYRULE. HOLY SHIT#i really hope that the point of the game is that it's bs that she is worth so much more than what she can do with her powers#bc the sidequests and botw all point to that#and if that is indeed the point of the game. oh my god. oh my GOD. I AM NEVER GONNA STOP THINKING ABOUT IT#the mad dash i did across akkala bc i didnt have any teleport points nearby........ good god#nintendo why didnt you make link's reaction stronger that was. insane. insane

Here to share Hien thoughts today.
One thing that defines her is that she’s very capable. She’s the highest ranking in the squad after Maizuru so her confidence is in part because she does have that senior coworker &/ leader authority to her, confidence which is very much earned.
If I had to dig deeper at her beyond just what we’re shown I’d go with the angle that… She was born into the Nakamoto household and being a ninja servant, she grew up there, she doesn’t know anything else beyond the job, and it’s a job she does well, traines to get there. She’s here to do her work and she’s content with her life being how it is, not that she knows anything else. I don’t think she’d be self-aware about it all? Both because this really is pretty normal for Wa and it’s her normal, and because, while she doesn’t fold her spine or care for things like cosmetics, she does mold her attitude to be both capable and respectable. Her home, the Nakamoto household, is simultaneously a professional setting, it’s a 24/7 thing.
She’s critical of others, including her superiors and she doesn’t shy from it. Everyone shittalks Toshiro’s father regardless, but she also gets reprimanded by Maizuru for seeing Toshiro as vaguely unreliable, again likely influenced by their history as childhood friends, sasses Maizuru when she goes off into an anecdote again, etc. Even as a kid with Toshiro, doubtlessly after starting her ninja training already considering that Toshiro started his at ~5yo, she told him it was unbecoming of him to cry. She’s the one both with the job and the will to keep others in check, like when it comes to Izutsumi not doing her tasks, etc etc.
Her childhood friend relationship with Toshiro only grew more professional with time, to her surprise but seems to be more about the thought of it rather than it affecting her emotionally. With the way her extra comic lays it out, it seems she expected to become Toshiro’s mistress because of history repeating itself, in a "it is what it is" way more than anything, which is in line with the reading that she’s more go-with-the-flow and "anything that I’m tasked with I’ll accomplish, as a matter of course".
She’s not really social, and keeps herself ready to act at beck and call. She’s not uptight but she’s hard-working. So yeah like, taking pride in your skills but also keeping your identity mostly molded for efficiency. She doesn’t really think about it all, she just is and she’s fine with things as they are, going from one task to the next.
I think it’d be neat to look at her relationship with her parents… They’re both servants at the Nakamotos’, so while maybe busy like Maizuru was at times while raising Toshiro but still taking the time to cook for him (which, parents that prioritize work over her would make sense with how she became how she is), I wonder what their relationship was like, how much time they spent together, how Hien feels like towards them… I assume they’re a part in molding what her definition of normal is, after all if they are longstanding servants of the Nakamotos she has that much less reason to question such a life. But like… Have they ever had hard-hitting discussions, or is she pretty distant even with them? Did they push her into working harder, or were more hands-off? Does Hien maybe want to earn recognition by being capable? Hien has a younger sister that she gets along "so-so" with…
Hien’s younger sister seems to smile more, be more social and a bit nonchalant, such and such. Could be a point of tension that points to the "so-so", that they’re dissimilar/Hien thinks she doesn’t behave right or takes things too lightly, that she’s "unreliable" maybe. Or it could also point to some difference in how they grew up… Like oh I bet there could be tasty angst with mertocracy and siblings favoritism with her family thrown in there… Having to earn the love, earn your keep, earn your spot in the hierarchy (in work and family both)
To me she shines best as a foil, like to Beni, but like. She’s got neat stuff going on
If you’re wondering where I took half of what I referenced from I recommend looking at my masterpost on the Nakamoto party, info and extras are compiled
#Dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#Hien#Meta#character analysis#fumi rambles#Working on a lot of different things on top of my actual work so things r slower than i’d like lately… Have this Discord ramble as apology#Meanwhile Beni’s attitude is very subservient and submissive. It’s interesting how little and how much difference they have simultaneously#On that front. Like you can’t really say Hien isn’t like a bodyguard ornament in the bg even if she shows more personality#Hienbeni fic will get finished one day I prommy#We’ve never seen Hien stressed which I think is a feat. Teach me your ways (probably repression)#Hien girlboss compilation#Ok Hien sister jealousy plot where she doesn’t know where the anger is coming from so she assumes it’s out of principle bc h slacks off#Hienbeni repressed anger power couple truly#So hmmm 3w2 enneagram Hien…? Beni I was thinking either 8w9 or 6w5… Maybe smth that becomes an 8 when stressed#You have to be pretty ballsy to specialize in explosives

#ok I'm more chill with Martlet x Moray#bit more flexible with that one#but i REALLY hate Martlet x Ceroba#and i really don't understand why people ship it in the first place#other than to meet their lesbian quota or something#/lh#Martlet literally calls Chujin her father figure and Ceroba is the wife of that father figure#Chujin and Ceroba are older than Martlet#and this is why i don't like Starlo x Martlet either very much HFGDFEH#aside from that i just can't see them romantically either#like i said the other day i wish people didn't immediately jump to ships#there's a lot of interesting friendships and dynamics you could delve into here#ANYWAY. point of todays Sock Stresses post is that It Makes Me So Uncomfortable.#and I can't really avoid it anywhere#why does nobody realize the weird implications 😭#but i digress I can't stop people from doing these things#sometimes it be that way#just going to sit in my corner and do my own thing LOL#sock talk
