#reasonable options to consider
Text
unbelievably sick of this eating and showering business. every day the body has needs. very rude when i put so much effort into pretending it doesn't exist. why do we have AI but still no way to escape the flesh prison or at least make its maintenance easier. what a stupid reality.
#hate when people try to sell me on why showers are actually nice and relaxing or whatever#like no sorry i Do Not Agree stop trying to talk me into having different feelings that's not how it works#just listen to me complain lol#personal#obnoxious whining#also they weighed me at the doctors last week and that number is still making me want to die#i should buy a scale again so i can go entirely insane#or maybe i should just try to get back on topiramate#or maybe i should fling my corporeal form into the ocean once and for all#reasonable options to consider

Ok consider:
A new hero emerges and the Justice League watches him for a while who make sure he’s not a threat. They see this giant clumsy man who moves like he’s not used to his body, smiles goofily every time he saves someone, and is clearly inexperienced with his powers and they’re all just like. Ah. This is a child.
Except they don’t think he’s a ten year old or however old Billy is at the time, no no. Clearly this hero came into existence shortly before his first appearance, just a few months ago. They don’t know how or why but It’s not the weirdest thing they’ve seen so it’s pretty easy to believe.
But they can’t just leave this toddler with the powers of a god to stumble around and potentially hurt someone by accident, nor go down the wrong path and become a villain. So of course they decide to ‘subtly’ guide him without alerting him to the fact they’re onto him.
They introduce themselves but instead of inviting him to the league they pop by every once in a while to ‘subtly’ teach him about responsibility and power, but also about love and humanity. They try to teach him to enjoy life and that he doesn’t have to act like an adult around them, instead encouraging him to enjoy his childhood even if it’s not an ordinary one.
(Too bad the Justice League suck at subtlety.)
Billy is certain they somehow found out he’s a kid before they even met him, probably because of Batman’s freaky know-it-all powers, but he isn’t very worried as they seem nice and don’t treat him like he’s dumb or fragile. They respect him as a hero despite his age so he lets himself act like a kid around them after a while.
When he gets comfortable enough to detransform Billy thinks that’s his identity reveal. The league thinks that he magicked himself a body that’s more of a representation of his true self and fits his developmental age better, possibly as a way to blend in with humans and experience what it’s like to be a normal child. Good for him!
Basically Billy gets a bunch of super powered parents and the Justice League get a newborn man that they think they’re raising from scratch lol
#billy batson#shazam#dc#dc captain marvel#justice league#fanfiction#fanfic#dcu#Diana’s idea of subtly teaching responsibility is to attack him before ever introducing herself#Billy’s happily helping a cat out of a tree then sees a sword rapidly approaching his face held by a terrifying woman#it ends with them both getting ice cream and discussing his tactics#Clark was one of the very few reasonable ones and just gave advice#hes not very subtle though#I mean have you seen him? he’s the most recognizable figure on earth#he’s often spotted on rooftops sharing homemade sandwhiches with Marvel as a way to encourage him to take breaks and be social#Surprisingly the most famous group of people in America who do flips in colourful spandex all day aren’t exactly masters of subtlety#Bruce tried to do an irl trolley problem to see how he would handle it#it was rigged so no one would get hurt and all the victims were well paid actors of course#but Billy didn’t know that#he stopped the trolley with his bare hands#he didn’t even consider any other option#he did not go to school so he's never heard of the problem and didn't even realize there WAS another option#Bruce nodded approvingly but was honsetly kind of disappointed#he wanted to know how a toddler with above average morals would solve it the intended way#maybe he’ll try it on Jon next

Ratio/Aventurine can go two ways:
1. Ratio viewing Aventurine as…not a science experiment, but something interesting pull apart and study, enabling his worst behaviors just to see the consequences, whatever they may be
2. Ratio refusing to let Aventurine burn himself out, treating him with care because no one else will (including himself and excluded Topaz)
In either case, Ratio’s attention is firmly fixed on Aventurine because he’s smart and can actually hold an intelligent conversation with Ratio. He may not be able to explain in minute detail how something works like Ratio can, but he knows how to get the results he wants and practical knowledge is still knowledge. A gambling fool Aventurine might be, but never an idiot or stupid
Also, Ratio realizing he likes Aventurine and being Mad about it is so funny. Aventurine may realize he cares about Ratio, but it would be hard for him to accept and admit his own feelings because he feels guilty for any comfort he finds and doesn’t think he deserves it unless there’s an edge to it
I like to think they had a…relationship of sorts going into Penacony, because it makes things a whole lot more painful. It balances out afterwards though, because we don’t know if he’s entirely free of the IPC, but the less Aventurine is attached to the IPC, the less he has to keep up his facade and the more Ratio gets to see the man underneath, whether he goes by Aventurine, Kakavasha or a different name entirely
#Aventurine#Dr Ratio#Ryn plays Honkai Star Rail#RatioRine#I’m personally in favor of option 2#also this post doesn’t mention it but I am also in favor of qpr AvenPaz#I like the idea that Topaz and Ratio would work together to make sure Aventurine was taken care of#post Penacony where Topaz shows up at Ratio’s looking like an absolute wreck#and they’ve interacted before; they’re on relatively good terms all things considered#and Ratio lets her in because what else can he do?#Topaz being the first one to know Aventurine’s not Gone and being the reason he sees Ratio again#because she knows how much they mean to each other#Aventurine is a lot more well taken care of when Ratio around and Topaz isn’t about to let that go after Penacony#well my tags got a bit off topic and rambly whoops

Shaking Bells Hells by the shoulders again: You had a very good recon mission just seeing the other side of the Bloody Bridge and extracting basic info in a small town. Take a moment to report back to people in power all the useful things you already learned. Get more spells/supplies from them. Then continue to the heart of the enemy. Time is short, but probably not so short that you can't take an extra hour or two to do that. Keyleth can tree teleport and she knows where you were. She just couldn't immediately jump to you because she had things to do/settle first. It's a war, powerful people can't come to your aid at the drop of a hat.
#my poor dumb babies#unfortunately Imogen likes the moon too much and is so desperate to know and have answers#to the point that she wouldn't consider “wait a few hours in the morning to make a real report” as an option#despite Orym's very reasonable pushes to do so#or at least try one more message for an actual timetable for ally arrival before dismissing the idea of waiting#mq cr watch#critical role#cr spoilers#c3e86

I find it interesting that the most controversial/widespread posts have been those relating to physical appearance/visual medium. Lbh's hair and body type and sqq's eyes. I wonder what's the underlying cause for this. Maybe because people get attached to designs they feel more protective of them? Just a thought.
Oh, I would say this is absolutely the case. Visual design choices are, after all, often symbolic reflections of parts of individuals' own selves in some way, or of other things that are important to them. Artists will also spend a lot of time and thought on creating their designs-- and in some ways, visual media and written media are also quite different. You don't need the visual contrast so much in a book, but you do need it more when it's pictures, because characters with good contrasts are pleasant to look at together.
I actually think the donghua designs create a sort of contrast too-- both by SQQ's lighter eyes to LBH's, but as well as with the broader silhouettes, where SQQ has flowing robes and hair and LBH's silhouette is tighter. Also in general, the black robes of adult LBH vs the teal & white. Western stylization just focuses more on body type+hair texture silhouette diversity, while eastern stylization is more about the clothing and hair-styling silhouette, in a broad generalization, so it's only natural that when people create their designs, especially for a media that is only written, like SVSSS before the donghua or official cover art came out, that they will draw influence from the background of their own culture in creating these designs, in addition to their own experiences.
It's difficult too in my position, because while I genuinely want to take a neutral look at trends and history and patterns and cultural influence as a scientific sort of examination, there are so many instances of attacks on character designs, which make both the artists and designers and the people who like those designs feel bad and just isn't productive, even if criticisms are genuine. Things should be talked over civily, without bashing, because a space where people are belittled and attacked is not a space where people can learn.
Anyway, everyone has reasons for their designs. Sometimes these may be rooted in stereotyping or westernization, but other times, they're based on personal reasons and don't actually have those roots. It's not my or anyone's place to declare, definitively, that someone is stereotyping (of course, there are some instances when things are very very obvious and that's a different story), I only try to explain what things i can so that people are then able to examine things for themselves. I do think it's everyone's own responsibility to look at their own biases and think about where their portrayal choices are sourced from, especially when engaging with a culture that isn't one's own. But I don't want people to get into a justification loop, because that's not going to help anyone-- just to honestly take a look at the why of things. Sometimes there's subconscious biases, sometimes it isn't about that. I don't know peoples' own experiences, so I'm not going to say what it is or isn't.
In the end, accountability is something that is definitely needed in sensitive areas like westernization or stereotyping. However, accountability is not dogpiling on someone. Instead, it's personally being open to consideration, to change, and to growth-- and we'll never have that in a hostile environment. People need to focus more on holding themselves accountable, and less on holding others accountable-- we all have unconscious biases. It's part of existing in any culture or environment, and it's a life-long process of examining them and growing in experience and knowledge. And I hope to contribute that knowledge wherever I can, and use what platform I have to foster that sort of gentler environment, where it's not about making people who genuinely didn't know things feel bad, but where it's okay to be wrong, and to learn and grow.
It's up to an individual to examine themselves when they hear new information. That doesn't mean everyone needs to change their designs to conform with Chinese beauty standards-- which have plenty of issues of their own, and shouldn't be taken as more "morally correct!" It's just so that as many people as possible can have as much information as possible, so they can make the best and most informed judgments and decisions they can about their own viewpoints and thought processes.
But yes, even saying all this, I can perfectly acknowledge that fan-designs of beloved characters hold a bit of their creator's heart. While creators can be imperfect, the experiences and emotions and care that these designs stem from is still genuine, and should be treated with gentleness and understanding.
No matter if someone's viewpoint is erroneous or just different from yours, it's important to remember that every person on the internet is a real, human person. Fandom culture can be so notoriously toxic-- and it's high time that people remember each other's humanity, and treat one another with compassion and understanding. That's the only way to create a better fandom space-- and ultimately, a better world.
#answered#psa#this got very very long#i was actually going to make a whole post of my own on this#there are a lot of important things to consider#but most importantly we are all people#all enjoying something together#all existing on this planet and in the end we want to be happy and live and be treated fairly#and when getting caught up in fandom wank or anything else really#this can get forgotten#there's a place for anger and a place for calling things out#but if a gentler option can be just as effective there's no reason not to use that#better to take the time and understand than to lash out incorrectly#long post

tbh i also like trian and bhelen being the full siblings bc it makes bhelen’s move in the origin so slick. like the idea that the warden so genuinely viewed him as the harmless one who would be willing to betray his full brother’s plans to save them... and trian’s death being that much easier to pin on his half-sibling while of COURSE his full sibling would have tried to stop it and afterwards ensured “justice” was done
#but i also like trian and the warden being the full siblings because#it makes so much sense for why bhelen was simply not considered esp if his mother was originally lower caste#we could be here all day while i flip between the options theres a reason i made a poll

it's just that i reeeally don't think it would have been that hard to find a solution to the timeline problem that didn't involve condemning the main character to an eternity trapped in his own solitary personal hell

When I was a young excited physics student I went down to my advisor and asked for a job in a lab. Those of you who are in the sciences may recognize this as exceedingly common, most schools with science departments will hire undergrads for their labs both to give the undergrads experience and to have someone comparatively cheap to do the least skilled labor in those labs.
For me, the lab I was sent to was one doing cool photonics projects and I was assigned to a guy who was doing the theoretical modeling for them and I got put on a side project for them to develop a method to double check their results using Monte Carlo simulations.
Put bluntly, I toiled away in the little cubicle they had me in for about half a year before I transferred to a different school without ever having produced anything of any particular value other than a Monte Carlo simulation whose temperature readings were not taking into account the existence of a heat sink and therefore got overwhelmed by thermal photons in a completely inaccurate and unhelpful way.
Ultimately, many tasks, farmed out like this in a speculative way to undergrads, fail, certainly it's not exceptional that mine did and I learned a lot about the process in the process, so it wasn't wasted time for me, but it produced absolutely nothing the lab could use to further its results.
This is where it turns from a little anecdote about my work history into a morality tale, because what I have thus far deliberately failed to tell you is that the lab I was assigned to is a provider of radar services to the US Military. Had I produced anything of any value whatsoever the work I did would have been used by the US military to help with its capacity to deliver bombs. This is, unfortunately, as those of you who are in the sciences may recognize, also exceedingly common. Luckily, and through no foresight or moral thinking of my own, simply the inexperience of youth, I produced nothing of value but view the path they tried to set me down as a grim warning of what might have been.
I'm not asking for forgiveness, the harm I might have done was not done by me, although I'm also sure was done without my help. They didn't need it to be me they just needed someone with basic calculus knowledge who wouldn't think too hard about the connection between the work and the world, and they were happy enough that particular warm body was me.
So this is my plea, if you're young and getting involved in the sciences because you're passionate about knowledge and understanding our place in the universe. When you go to get that job in that lab that's such a good stepping stone to the next thing you want to do, take a second and look into where that lab's funding is coming from. If it turns out it's the military, maybe then take another second and really deeply consider what kind of thing your work can be used to do and if you would like some of the most bloodthirsty people on the planet to be able to do that thing because of your help.
I got lucky that I didn't help, but I'm hoping that with this warning you might be able to not help on purpose which is a greater moral good than what I managed.
#IDK been thinking about this a lot recently for obvious reasons#I should've known better at the time too to be clear I was just blinded by excitement#If I'd stayed at that school and that lab and got to the level where I could contribute#They would have happily sent me to the Raytheon office down the street#Where I would've been well paid as my soul chipped away at itself#And I will never not resent the structure of the system that had that future in mind for me#I feel extra foolish for having nearly fallen for it considering my grandfather's history as a member of the Union of Concerned Scientists#Which is in part because he didn't talk much about that with us grandkids in large part because we weren't old enough early enough#There's a lot I wish he could've talked to me about now that I'm old enough to really understand it#But back to the point tell your advisor 'I'm not comfortable working in a military lab do you have any other options'#That's what I wish I'd said#Meanwhile my dad (the legend) claims to have cost the military millions of hours of productivity and credibly so

i personally think there was no need to make remarks about age
#i dont need to feel any more ashamed about this when i shouldn't feel ashamed about this in the first place#because three years is not a HUGE difference. it IS an age gap but it isn't a GIGANTIC red flag-waving age gap.#but i guess for a guy it is if the girl is older#but anyway man it was comment after comment line after line and i felt like i was standing in front of a firing squad#not gonna lie my whole chest literally hurts when i think about it too deeply!#i have literally never been told before that i'm not an option because i'm too old#i also personally (and this is a bit bitter of me to say so maybe) i resent the fact that he did take the time to tell me that he was not#personally attracted to me. and then add at the end of the conversation that if i were younger he'd consider it#like. you literally told me you don't like me that way and aren't attracted to me that way#so the only reason you'd consider me as an option really is the fact that you know I'M interested in you ????#anyway makes me want to throw up:)#the waiting room chapter

While I do wish we can see more about the Anakt quartet's relationships, it was incredibly funny for me to be, like, "*Round 2 just got released* Oh, Till doesnt even KNOW or has ever talked to Mizi, hes just projecting and obsessed and heteronormative-" to "*experienced all the official art and Round 3 and 6* Oh, they were, like, actually friends to an extent and the meaning Mizi has to Till is very sweet even if its born of and is a reflection of just how desolate his lived experience just Is Constantly, ultimately a guy with a cute crush made buckwild due to- *gestures vaguely* -and hes heteronormative."
#dee p thoughts#alien stage#alnst#vivinos#sorry ivantill stans as much as Id like to think till could in any capacity return ivans feelings#and its current result may or may not be how their interactions was not favorable in that direction#the lyrics ''Error: No Better Options'' is certainly. a lyric in tills song sjfkrkfkekc#what options? the two girls you interact with? the three people? the lyric was such a funny read for me at first because it made it seem l#like till ''settled'' on mizi because shes cute and pretty and a girl...which.....was kind of the reason at first iirc?#then I personally believe it grew into more after but#considering ivans lack of presence in round 2...unfortunately Id have to say.....he was not even a consideration in the first place shcjjdc#till...straightest man in the world.....#I do kind of have to wonder how much of the art is Truly Canon per se some definitely are but some definitely feel in a space outside of l#everything so theres wiggle roon#typos? on my phone typing? inevitable sowwy.........

How would LCSYS be different if it was "Order of Attack"?
For starters, the only things of OoA that would have happened are the voice dramas.
Hmm, I wonder what caused the admins to decide the attacks would turn out that way.
WAH why haven't I thought to combine the aus yet???
A lot would remain the same, aside from some of the voice drama angst happening differently (both on their end and Es'). I think the biggest difference would be that Shidou and Amane would be forced to interact a lot more -- while their Milgram appearances would be waay more hostile than originally planned, their behind-the-scenes relationship would improve a lot. Shidou spends a lot of time telling her about the side effects of the injuries so she can properly act them out, as well as check in that she's taking off the eyepatch often enough to not ruin her eyesight, none of which are him overstepping on her beliefs. While she still judges him for his profession, she doesn't feel personally attacked by him and can have many civil conversations.
(Meanwhile, Fuuta would have a much harder time acting out these injuries than the canon ones 😅 It takes absolutely all of his willpower not to let his temper get the better of him and jump out of the wheelchair to yell at Es)
As for how it happened...
---
Kotoko knocked on Amane’s door. There was no answer at first, but she knew the girl was in there. She banged harder.
Amane opened it, lifting her chin to face the woman head-on. Kotoko stared down at her.
“Momose Amane.”
Then, she bent down. Kotoko took her hands into her own. “Are you sure about this?”
She hadn’t believed it, when she first read the changes to the next trial scripts. Confronting Jackalope hadn’t done much for her; he insisted it had all been Amane’s idea to begin with. He went along with it because he thought the proposed injury swap would be exciting, and grim, and definitely get a big reaction.
Kotoko still had her suspicions until it was finally confirmed, “yes, this is my decision. I stand by it.”
“I don’t want to make you relive something so painful.”
“I do not know what you mean.”
The way her eyes flicked away revealed that she did indeed know.
“You’ll be more isolated from the others during the trial.”
“Only when the Warden is around.”
Kotoko squeezed her hands. Maybe another route would work. “Injuries like that are impossible to fake nonstop – you’ll need to use medical aid to make it convincing. Will you be alright with that, even if it’s an act?”
“It’s perfect. I will show the warden it is violating to force me into another’s beliefs, without sinning at all myself.”
Kotoko opened her mouth, but Amane interrupted. “Are you afraid it will paint you too villainous?” She wasn’t being harsh – she seemed genuinely worried.
“I mean, they think I’m here for murder. There’s not much more villainous I can be.”
It was a truth to hide a truth. Kotoko knew this change would be nothing but a death sentence for her. Yet she’d spent all day planning out her video with the team, shakily writing out notes about a short temper and uncontrollable anger. What if Amane was right? In the heat of the moment, what lengths would she go to in the name of justice?
So the least she could do in return was go to this length.
“I need to make sure you are wholly alright with this. If so, I vow to play the part perfectly for you.” She studied Amane’s expression, but it was difficult to get a read in the dim bedroom. Only the little desk lamp was on, illuminating textbooks and art projects. “Just tell me why.”
“The others asked me about it, too,” Amane said. “They thought it was a dark topic to explore, but I was able to convince them that it would highlight the best in all of us: It would show what a skilled caregiver Mahiru is, when given the opportunity. It would reveal that Fuuta’s passion, his heart, is truly his strength. It would highlight my own virtues and weaknesses, given my beliefs. It would even show your dedication to your ideals, even if not in a fully pleasant light.”
“That makes sense…” She could tell there was more Amane wasn’t saying. She gave her a look.
Amane’s eyes flicked around the room.
Kotoko nodded to encourage her.
“Well… I also thought…” She swallowed. “The warden saw my punishments in my video, but deemed it righteous when they named me unforgiven. I just…”
“You wanted to see if they saw the things you went through – the things you really went through – would they still think that was okay?”
Amane let her head drop, using the heel of her hand to smear tears that had suddenly spilled from her eyes. “It’s selfish,” she blurted. “I know it’s so, so selfish.”
Kotoko made a sound of surprise.
“I’ll take it back,” she cried. “I’ll tell Jackalope to undo it. It was wrong of me. I shouldn’t make you suffer for my selfish wishes. I’m sorry.”
Kotoko knew the girl wasn’t the hugging type, but she opened her arms just in case. “Amane…”
After a moment of deliberation, she shocked her by accepting the embrace.
“You listen to me.” Kotoko held her tight. She kept her voice level. “You’re not going to take anything back. Do you hear me? That is not selfish at all. That is something very reasonable to hope for. If the warden is going to be unjust, then it is our job to teach them, right?”
Amane made a noncommittal sound in reply.
“It is. That’s why you came here – I remember when you told us that. That’s what we’re going to do. You and I both. If anyone dares tell you this is selfish, send them right to me. I’ve got you, okay?”
It was an odd declaration given what she was agreeing to, but everything about this experiment had challenged what was normal.
“I’ve got your back.”
#milgram#lights camera sing your sins#order of attack#amane momose#kotoko yuzuhira#i think jackalope is slimy enough to consider the option when t2 is first being planned out#and he would 100% ask amane to go through that#but he knows the prisoners would actually kill him for doing that#and so hes over the moon when amane suggests it on her own and agrees right away#amane has a bunch of professional reasons she lists out to everyone but deep down...#you know that feeling kids (and adults) get when they imagine running away/something bad happening because 'then theyll all be sorry!!'#and kotoko 'action over idle talk' yuzuriha is 100% on board with making es see the consequences of their actions#even if it means dooming herself with a guaranteed guilty verdict#though she probably does in normal lcsys - i bet she *really* sees Lucky in Amane now#drabbles

Why do u draw?
oooooooo [rubs hands together] a fun one that probably isn't that deep but i'm going to take way too seriously!
so the short answer is fun, but i can never just say one sentence and be done with it soooo i elaborated and wrote a whole essay below. sorry not sorry
anyway if you didn't want my origin story no shame in that, it's not gonna be on the quiz, just keep scrolling :P
to cover all my bases let me start from the beginning and work my way forward...
i think pretty much all kids draw at least a little just because they can, but the thing that really inspired me to take art seriously was the great abundance of cat animations on youtube in the early 2010s... warrior cats amvs mostly, but also artists like bani the kitty and splashkittyartist! you can really see these inspirations in my early digital art hehehe (see below by attle b. age 8)
from then until about age 14 art was just... my thing? i did it pretty much everyday, probably couldn't have imagined life without it... i think back then my motivations were more inline with your typical social media artist motivations... get better, be seen, and maybe make a career out of it? never made it that far though because ehhhh life has different plans i guess
i fell into an art slump in the middle of high school for a variety of personal reasons i won't get into, and as such i had to give up my dreams of creating art as a job
as sad as that was in the moment, it forced me to change my outlook on the whole ordeal in a way that i think was ultimately healthier for me.
that brought me to where i am now! since i have no goals beyond keeping at it as a hobby, i do it simply because i enjoy the process, the product, and i feel like it lets me connect with my interests in a way i otherwise couldn't.
it's a fun way to express love for the things i care about, and while i still enjoy honing my skills i don't feel the same pressure to be perfect that i used to which is really freeing!!
so in that sense it's intrinsic motivation that makes me draw what i draw... however, the amount of art i put out and the polish i give it is definitely motivated by the eyes i have on me... while i'd still be drawing the same things if no one was watching, i would not be putting nearly as much effort into it, nor would i be doing it as regularly, so i do thank you guys for keeping me on track there <3
that's it i think? i could get into the philosophy of it, but i'll spare you that... okay thank you for letting me yap!!! ^-^
#of course while i mainly do art for myself i have been considering commissions#bc i also enjoy seeing other people's original creations and ideas and working with those!!#it still fits into my reasons for making art because in those cases i feel it's almost a love letter to art and creativity itself#like art fight was pretty much the only time of year i actually rendered art during that aforementioned art slump#and ik it wasn't to get art for ME bc i made filler ocs for it i didn't give a shit about with the sole intent of giving people options LOL#but i also don't think i could do it for free anymore? not with my lack of time and the amount of people who could potentially want it#BUT none of that MATTERS if i can't get off my ASS and make an info sheet and a paypal and figure out prices and UGH!!! business stuff :(#me chat.#ask response#long post

#jimmy jr and tina aside i think andy ollie and louise would LOVE being each other's siblings. and gene too#he'd finally have a brother!!#i dont think that bob and jimmy would ever be like an actual couple though like weird tense hookups make sense but they wouldnt like.#get married or move in together. for SO MANY reasons#if linda wasn't around teddy is the obvious choice if u consider whats best for the family#fischoeder is the funniest option#and pesto is if you consider what would be the absolute worst for the family and then do that#secret fourth option: bob x jimmy pesto's ex wife#BOB X RUDY'S MOM OR DAD sorry okay i will stop#boblin and bob/teddy/linda are the only serious bob ships anyway. 2 me#txt#bob's burgers

[ID copied from alt text: 1: A colored panel of Skull as a brown-skinned person, from the manga Katekyo Hitman Reborn. He's in his adult form, looking to the right, slightly scowling. Bright light shines on his face.
2: Same picture but with darker colors, and with the background being a mix of purplish pink, purple and blue.
3: Same picture but with the colors being the darkest of the three pictures, and with a light greenish yellow color in the background on the left side of the picture. /End ID]
skull’s brown-skinned btw, he told me himself, trust me <3
