holds them like little potatoes

That omake of little Kabru not being able to show off his howetown sweets because of Misril gets to me a lot so...

Here's a happier Kabru (and Lairu)

Ngl the funniest part of Monsters University is the revelation that Randall doesn't squint all the time because he's suspicious and paranoid it's just that he can't see for shit

the kink got out of hand, sorry

then what ARE the words you want to say

I can't believe they really went with "antagonist gets amnesia, vaguely recognises the protagonist and decides that they are besties actually" trope

Hi it is so unfair the grip that Reth Palia has on me. On us all.

I was gonna wait till the official chapter to screenshot this quote but I don't really like how Shonen Jump translated this quote...

SJ officially translated it as "Your death is a nuisance to every person who's ever known and loved you" which just makes it sound so... negative.

But in all seriousness, it's moments like this that truly remind me just how much one piece means to me.

Even if Oda doesn't intentionally write these morals into his story, it's moments like these that truly feel as if the characters are speaking to us.

Even if you think you're nothing but trouble to those around you, there will always be people who grieve for your loss.

I Am Rattling The Stans Around In My Brain Aggressively Like A Maraca

xenophobic fucker my beloved. who else would take a reasonable and even noble 'we must prepare to face any alien threat and prevent whatever happened to me from happening to others' takeaway from his traumatic life events and somewhere along the way straight up make it into 'I HAVE TO MAKE A SUPERIOR HUMAN RACE BASED ON MUTATED RAT GENES AND MY APPEARANCE, INFILTRATE THEM INTO THE HUMANKIND AND IF THEY KILL 57% OF IT WHILE SEARCHING FOR MUTANTS/ALIENS IN HIDE THEN SO BE IT, THAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE A HEALTHY OUTCOME FOR EARTH.'

thank god i've come back to tumblr after all this time bc where else could i say "i've been simping for the scarecrow from batman begins lately" with impunity. anyway thank you cilian murphy for your service

Higuchi and Ranpo are just such interesting author-based characters in BSD.

I know it's weird to connect the two but hear me out...

So far, the only authors I can remember that don't have a known ability are Aya, Higuchi, and Ranpo. Aya and Higuchi will likely get an ability (latter has been confirmed to have one, at least) while Ranpo...probably won't? Though you never know.

But the reason I bring Higuchi and Ranpo together is because the latter is an author who is heavily implied to be the son of one of his IRL counterpart's characters. And meanwhile, the former is someone who has one of the real people in her IRL counterpart's life (that is to say, BSD Higuchi's sister) brought into the manga. Yeah, Tanizaki and Akuatagawa have their sisters be based off characters, and we also have Haruno based off a Tanizaki character, plus Fitzgerald's characters in the eyes of god story arc.

But I really think that it's interesting that Ranpo is the child of his own character. And that Higuchi is I think the only one with a family member that is based on IRL Higuchi's own family situation. That we might actually have a BSD character based on a real life person that wasn't a significant writer of some sort (to my knowledge, at least).

I don't really have a point with this, but it is interesting and aghhhhhhh Asagiri I'M BEGGING you to do something with Higuchi that doesn't involve Akutagawa! There's so many things about her and I want to know!

feeling so normal about li bing and qiu qingzhi btw

dottore fans are unhinged

i say this as someone who likes dottore (as a character, obviously not as a person). he’s incredibly interesting and, in my opinion, the only good villain this game has so far. however! ???

BRIAR AND WESTLIE CAN BE FRIENDS

Tell me about Westlie!

Ah! They might be such interesting friends! Westlie is technically a Sunless Skies/Skyfarer character, so the stats are a little different, but her main skills are Iron and Mirrors.

She grew up as the eldest child of a Skies shipping magnate who wanted a boy, but got two girls, and raised her as heir to Fairweather Shipping and Co. She has a natural head for numbers, and if her life had been her own, probably would've become a navigator, but clerking was a decent substitute excepting her father's cruelty and ... lax... views of the law.

After some time of watching employees being treated cruelly and her furious assertions that his management was wrong, she decided to run away, frantically applied to several skyfarer captains for any sort of position, and was hired as First Mate by Captain Fitzroy of the Pyrrhus.

Her main motivators are stubborn fury at injustice, and a deep-seated belief that nobody should go without the love she did, although she's (very) emotionally stunted and can't communicate that as well as she wants.

She almost always wears a walking skirt and vest, and prefers skirts to pants: partly because Arthur wanted a boy so desperately and femininity is one subconscious way she can strike back, but mostly because she just like skirts.

(In the Liztlie AU, she's 23, and the circumstances are the same, she just stumbles into adopting a child and her protective nature +extra stuff spur her to run away.)

its just so incredibly funny to me that in a game with a literal Flowersland kingdom and Flowersland prince and Flowersland princess whose designs have flower crowns and everything. and they gave the "birds flock to them when they sing" cliche to some guy from Sandland who howls like a wolf.

crying because i'm thinking about the Nuance involved with my characters and their backstories and the complexities of good intentions vs selfish behavior causing harm to others and i CANT EXPLAIN ALL OF THIS via art or writing. HOW are people supposed to know how complex and deep these characters are if i dont draw or write it out tho!!!!!! ugh
