I know it's muddled because the Black Arms are part of a hivemind... but is Doom's Eye a separate entity that Black Doom controls, or is it just like a detachable part of himself?

no like. think about it. eclipse was created because his people were defeated and a dying species already, and they came to earth to hopefully restore the black arms SO THEY DONT FUCKING DIE LMAO??? and he doesn't instantly go apeshit like even though he was created to destroy shadow and is plagued by being made in his image aka not his own person (cough shadow cough metal sonic) but he asks shadow to join him. against his orders btw. and then tries to mind control shadow to cooperate instead of just like, y'know, killing him. basically begging for an ally.

then later on eclipse gets thrown to earth with the eggs as he literally begs to help back home (because unlike literally other black/dark arm antagonist he ACTUALLY fucking cares about his species' survival). oh then black death fucking dies and so does the eye so eclipse is furious and also hurt (very reasonable that's his dad basically?!?)

to make matters worse, in the crash landing only 4 of the hatchlings survived. 4. yeah that's a real strong generation guys like ??? he's distraught he's so relieved when he finds survivors just look:

like??? look how pure he is i'm so mad about it:

he's literally just this young dude thrown into existence to save his dying people, and then disobeys orders to try and make sure everyone he knows is safe and happy BUT THEN ALSO BEFRIENDS THE GUY HE'S SUPPOSED TO KILL NOT ONCE BUT TWICE BC HE DOES IT AGAIN LATER AND WANTS A DAMN FAMILY MEMBER??? EVEN AFTER SHADOW & CO KILLED HIS DAD???

like. some people might argue "well he still wants to harvest the earth" uh yeah because food? He'll do anything to protect his people that's not inherently wrong just help the dude by giving him a different source because using earth is all he knows? sure he's the only black arms with free will (lmao in your face shadow) but he tried to ask for shadow's help numerous times and that fucker denied him. like. SHADOW. MY DUDE. YOU ARE MAKING AN ENEMY HERE. HELP ECLIPSE RESTORE HIS (ACTUALLY BOTH OF YOUR) ENDANGERED SPECIES/ALIEN RACE WITHOUT IT HURTING ANYONE SO EVERYONE WINS???

i think shadow should have said yes but worked with eclipse to find sustainable food for the black arms that wouldn't hurt others so they could get an ally and a family member out of it. imagine eclipse ruling the black arms which restores them to full power??? AND THEN THEYRE REALLY STRONG ALLIES IN CASE OTHER THREATS COME ALONG LIKE IMAGINE SEASON 3 OF SONIC X BUT SORTA LIKE 06 WITH A VIBE OF SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG 2 WHERE AT ONE POINTS HE CALLS ON ECLIPSE (revealing the now prosperous colony) TO HELP ASSIST SONIC & CO??? AND IT WORKS???

oh my god. since they're potentially not forced to stick around earth for food they could explore the galaxies. why couldn't the black arms eventually SOS shadow because these extremely advanced aliens are wrecking their shit and stealing everything and draining them because these dudes are basically gods and shadow is like "okay i'll get help" because these godly aliens will eventually find earth. oh turns out these are the babylonians! yeah! like they found the REAL babylon (planet) not just the measly scavenger ship that crashed to earth and caused all that riders crap + gave us the babylon rogues.

why. why couldn't we have this. SEGA i'm so disappointed this is why i used to never bring up archie because while i admit i haven't reread the comics in years and thus the nostalgia and bias might have warped my memory of events... eclipse deserved better. we could have had really cool allies but instead they went with a second black arms genocide. grrrrrr

So since silver is from thousands of years in the future

And he wasn't there at the time of the black arms invasion

And we all seem to collectively agree that he probably likes studying history

Isn't it possible that silver thinks the black arms are mythical creatures👀

i just can't believe that oda fucking create sanji, a stereotypical ladies man who simps to an embarrassing degree for women while having his hackles comically raised around everyone he perceives as a man - and most notably butting heads with the more obvious ~manly man~ of the crew. haha, classic anime running gag, the kind that gets obnoxious at times but still makes you laugh.

AND THEN, like a billion chapters later, motherfucker steeples his fingers and goes "soooooooo... what makes a person Like That?"

and the answer is that he grew up in fucking Toxic Masculinity, The Kingdom. the answer is that he was always Different, in a way other guys instinctively perceived as weak, and that made him the target of visceral scorn and violence. the answer is that he was sensitive, sweet, caring, nurturing - feminine-coded traits which are only valued by patriarchy insofar that they're performed by women in service of men. the answer is that in a kingdom comprised almost entirely by violent men, the only ones who were ever kind to him, the only safety he ever had, were a girl and a woman.

so cooking is for women and servants, it makes you less of a man. only women will ever really value you for your passions and dreams. women are also actively hurt by the way the world works, they are unsafe unless they comply with men's violence, and you have to protect them.

(men will always know what you are, and they will hurt you if you let them.)

and even after he leaves... at baratie he is cherished and respected, but even that is an extremely masculine environment. we don't talk about our feelings, we don't let our guard down, the only love is tough love. when he tries to express his artistry and express himself through his cooking, rather than just filling orders and making money, he gets mocked.

so here is a man who will not raise a hand to a woman, because he rejects the masculinity he was raised with and refuses to become yet another man subjecting women to violence. he is desperate for women's attention and affection because it's SAFE, it's the only kind he can trust. other men are potential threats and must be treated as such. he must at all times be snarky, tough, Not Feminine, because to be perceived otherwise is to be powerless, to be hurt.

like y'all. the queer coding of it all? the overtly feminist themes? the active rejection of toxic masculinity and the way it's shown to be directly tied to imperialism? what the fuck.

#one piece #black leg sanji #sanji #vinsmoke sanji #one piece meta #i have more thoughts #I will yell about them later #When I'm not at work #With a literal baby on my arm #but anyway fuck the vinsmoke family #they fucked up a perfectly good bisexual is what they did

I challenged myself to paint at least(!) one Sirius Black art a month this year, so here is the April painting! And as I haven’t had much time in April, I made a more detailed artwork :') Well, but it was a lot of fun! I also added a close up because I really like his face in this one :)

#sirius black #padfoot #marauders #my art #art #harry potter #why does his arms look exactly like my boyfriend’s? I mean #I didn’t even used him as reference

Thinking about poor Eclipse.

Shadow destroys the Black Arms and this darkling literally had spent his whole life with other voices in his head, it’s now gone silent.

The black arms are confirmed to all be related to each other so he came from a huge family, always with his people and suddenly, they’re all gone and he’s all alone.

And the only family member he’s got left doesn’t want anything to do with him

#Eclipse the Darkling #the black arms #he's a bit misguided but he's not a bad guy

okay okay okay so. the fact the black arms diet is specially humans on their wiki has always pissed me off. because WHAT DOES THAT MEAN???

like if it was meat just say meat. which leads me to believe there's more to it look i know there isn't and this was just a vague oversight but gimme something to work with here

it's mentioned in the archieverse that they don't actually JUST eat humans, they consume entire planets which makes more sense so let's roll with that, they have an expansive carnivorous diet

... but eclipse specifically tries to steal the master emerald for food.

so it would be really interesting to interpret their need for food as a need for certain magical energies, and if we narrow back in on the game canon, as well as the black arms' natural power source, they crave chaos energy (which is why earth/mobius is so coveted and why eclipse went for the master emerald)

so why humans? although it's quite clear that sonic & co were also on the menu in shth's final story, i think humans are a better food source and not just anatomically. think about it. humans have evolved and lived off the land for ages now, a land that is enriched and connected to chaos, hell, so many gods on the planet have powers that are frequently magnified by chaos energy! unlike the mixed bag of mobians who may or may not have alien genes (think of the babylonians as just one example and you don't even need to follow my blue eyes theory to see that it's highly likely that so many anthro characters aren't native to earth) the humans on the planet are like... authentically grown and enriched with chaos energy solidarity for generations.

aka very well seasoned meat which is enriched with powers and energetic goodness for the black arms to harvest!

anyways i went through all of this for my personal headcanon that eclipse and mephiles are like this post:
