“Trust me.“

“I did trust you.“

What I like about that scene is that you can tell both of them are hurting here.

Max is not mad, he is disappointed. His reaction is more quiet than his usual outbursts who pass quickly, most of them are short lived. In that moment, the old meerkat is silently staring at his nephew, waiting for Timon to explain himself with crossed arms. No accusing him of something, he just waits until Timon starts and until he finishes.

Once he is finished? Max does not respond immediately, there is still a bit of a pause.

When he does speak, there is a sad, soft, more genuine tone in it. Max means it. He admits that he trusted his nephew, but it was an unspoken expectation on his part.

Timon didn’t know that, especially not with the reaction Max had over the suggestion in the first place.

One thing to note about the old meerkat is that more than often, his anxiety gets the better of him, expecting the worst outcome. Max in general is acting on raw emotions. His paranoia is controlling both his actions and responses. He speaks without a filter and doesn’t realize what he says might upset others or consider the consequences for it. A good example would be when Timon’s mother asks him if he has seen Timon and he just cheerfully replies that he did not. It might come across as him being relieved that his nephew is not around, but it’s more about the injuries that come from Timon’s shenanigans rather than Timon himself.

By allowing Timon to stand guard over all of them, Max is putting his trust in him, but it remains unspoken. In general, Max is someone who shows his trust and care through his actions rather than words. But when he goes deep, he means it. Max believed in Timon to manage the situation.

I think a small part also realized that it was something that was also on him, considering he is averting his eyes. A part of him also feels responsible for what happened.

Timon is hurting as well. He likely expected another outburst, so what happens here hits a lot more differently for him, especially since his uncle is unusually quiet in that moment. Max does not need to say he is disappointed - Timon receives the message by the words spoken, the tone and the fact that there is no further scolding. Just his uncle looking away from him. No further lecture, no outbursts - and that feels much worse for him because now he feels like he failed his uncle and everyone else. He feels like he has lost his uncle‘s trust completely. Not only does he feel like he has he failed his uncle, but a small part of himself.

It says a lot that he leaves right after that incident. Aside from the general feeling of not fitting in, being an outcast among his own colony, he also had to likely deal with the guilt of almost getting his uncle killed. We see his reaction when he realizes his uncle is missing, so if the hyenas had succeeded in ending him that would have likely put a heavy conscience on him.

Timon needed to figure himself out and that was not possible in a place where he lives as an outcast. I also think Max and Timon needed the space away from each other at this point.

Max likely did not even realize at first that he was gone, busy with doing damage control after the skylight and hyena incident. It was only after a few quiet days without any kind of accidents and seeing his sister down that he realized he was not among them anymore.

I don’t think Max ever meant to make Timon feel the way he did. The problem was that his paranoia for predators got the better of him and wanted to keep everyone safe, including his nephew but unfortunately that led to him neglecting the needs of his nephew. Digging tunnels and making sure to survive turned into a slight obsession. He is entirely restless, always preparing himself for the next disaster. One tap from the mother is already enough to send him into a panic.

Timon never meant any harm with his actions, he was just trying to make life for his colony better. He wanted them to be able to live, not just survive but unfortunately it generally led to a lot of accidents. For Max, it feels like his nephew didn’t take it as seriously as he should have and he tried to get him to understand what’s at stake here the only way he knows how.

His reluctance to follow doesn’t come from that he wants nothing to do with his nephew, it’s because it’s a big, dangerous world out there filled with predators. They don’t even know where to start looking, Timon could be anywhere at this point.

But he is out there searching for Timon with the mother, showing that he was willing to take that risk for his nephew. I don’t know if it was because the mother dragged him out of the hole himself, or if he tried to stop her and she managed to convince him, but I would like to think that it turned into a bit of an argument at first where Max has to realize just how much his stress is controlling him.

#;scurry sniff flinch (max)#;buried underground (Max headcanons)#i've been thinking about this for days because i wanted to analyze the trust me scene since it's such an important detail #but i wanted it to be good so needed more thinking #then i almost worked on this all day #and it ended up becoming a max / timon analyze by accident #i still don't think the wording is good and i feel like some things could be explained better #i'm not exactly happy with the analysis exactly but my perfectionist side is talking here #also i love the fact that max closes his eyes when he averts them #you can see the hurt there #also the white eye shine with both of them you can tell it's serious and genuine

Lineart by @ovytia-art which was such a blast to color - I love the entire vibe of all of them hanging out together so much @green-with-envy-phandom-event

#greenwithenvy2024 #danny phantom #i picked it for Dani originally but i really do love seeing all of them interact together it makes me really happy to see #fun fact the flats (including background) took almost 4 hours. + i had to spread that up over a few days due to eye problems slowing me dow #but it was so so worth it. no one else will really understand but working on it gave me the same kind of goofy fun stress free feeling as #when me and my friends hang out at our dennys. i have a newfound fondness for nasty burger.#anyway do NOT look too closely at the car background because i /know/ they're messed up perspective just. hush.#i designed some nasty burger logos for this based on the canon sign! it was very fun!!!! and i reused them for another piece #dp jbee

you can sit alone in the car after you turn it off….. but watch out

#it’s like this addictive liminal space where all executive function ceases #every day I am trapped by the seductive silence and isolation when I get home from work #I am currently still in my car. and I have been for almost twenty minutes. send help

Tom's line about Shiv being selfish and "find[ing] it very hard to think about me" is actually so telling because while it's absolutely true that she rarely takes his position into consideration, Tom never once thinks about what he can do to help Shiv unless it also benefits him.

Every single time he makes a move or sacrifice that might help her, it's always something that he thinks will give him a leg up. He volunteers to take the fall for cruises, not for Shiv, who is in no way implicated, or even for Waystar, but because he thinks it'll ingratiate him to Logan, and the second it seems like he might have to actually follow through on that, he immediately tries to get out of it and even throws Shiv under the bus. Meanwhile, for all that Shiv disregards his interests, there are a number of things she does that only help him, and she's the one who actually sacrifices something and undermines her position with Logan to beg him not to let Tom go to jail.

It just makes it so clear that no matter how much he might love her (and I think he does, in his own compromised way), for him their relationship was always built on the underlying assumption that it's her job to prop him up, but it's not his job to help her.

#i rewatched that ep a few days ago and this was just cooking in my brain for a bit #their relationship is so messy and interesting i want to watch them get a divorce on a loop forever #and like. the wildest thing is that Tom does occasionally do things that don't serve him to help someone else. but its always greg #which you might say is ultimately down to the power dynamics (shiv can do more for tom than he can for her and tom can do more for greg)#but there are still plenty of points where tom actually does have the power to help shiv and chooses not to #and I love how succession never really has a clear 'what this character is telling you is 100% the truth of the story' moments #anytime a character is making a statement like 'this is who you are/who i am' or 'this is what i really want/what you really want' there's #always some kernel of truth to it but the narrative they're spinning is almost never fully honest #you can't take any of it at face value and it's such a good way of showing how they're always on some level 'playing the game'#and like. at a time when so many stories are basically spoon-feeding their audiences it's so nice to have a story that trusts you to #sort through it all and see what's real and what's not and rewards you for putting that work in #succession #4x07 tailgate #succession season 4 #failmarriage #shiv roy #tomshiv #tom wambsgans #siobhan roy

Sonic Twitter and TikTok Takeover 2023 Masterpost

Guess what? I saved every response to the takeover like I did last year, and here they all are, with a bonus.

I created a transcript of every single answer and saved it in a Google Doc, which you can find the link to [Here]

Links to all the individual Tweets and Tiktoks can be found below in order of when they were answered.

Intro [Twitter Link][TikTok Link]

Sonic: Question from @MetroGamer21: “How often do you keep your quills sharp? Do you brush it yourself or do you have someone else do it?”

Amy: This question is from @SilentNayuri. They ask Eggman, (Clears throat) “Out of every machine you’ve built, which one was your favorite?"

Tails: This question is from @Prisma_Sonic. “To Sonic, have you ever wondered if there were other versions of you out there? Asking for a friend.”

Sonic: This question’s from Jack. “For Eggman.” Oh. “Why did you get rid of the yellow cape? It was so fashionable!”

Sonic: Well this question is for me from At daniel nu beh n… “For Sonic, who in the group do you think is the prettiest!”

Tails: Question from Leyla. They ask, “Do you guys sometimes feel dizzy when you do a spindash or jump? If not, why?”

Amy: Aw! This next one’s from @selkadombom1n. They said, “Hey gang, big fan here. Today’s takeover is actually very special because it’s also my nineteenth birthday.” Aw. “If it’s not too much to ask, could I get a happy birthday serenade from your beautiful singing voices?”

Knuckles: wyattron asks, “Do the Chaos Emeralds have different tastes with the different colors?”

Knuckles: Two Stars asks: “For Tails, where did your fear of thunder come from?”

Eggman: Question from @ShadowsTrueBiggestFan, “Can I adopt Shadow? He can’t say no he isn’t in the Twitter takeover.”

Eggman: @DigiDevilTrig asks, “Sonic, if you’re the fastest thing alive, why did you use the train to go to the Mystic Ruins?”

Sonic: This one’s from spiro. Hi Eggman, are you looking for another henchman? I could be your henchwoman? I’m on your side all the way! Team Eggman!"

Sonic: This next one’s from holz. They say, “Since Shadow isn’t present this time, what’re your opinions on him?”

Knuckles: @Sonic_Sunset asks, “We know Sonic was a huge inspiration for Tails, but does he have other sources of inspiration? Like Dr. Eggman’s machinery for example.”

Sonic: Let’s see. This next question is from ‘the dog is very cool’. Interesting, uh, username, there, but, I’m happy for you. They ask, “Can I borrow a couple rings? I wanna buy a bag of funions.”

Tails: @45Euvee asks, “For everyone. If you were a flavor of cake, what flavor would you be?”

Knuckles: Uh, I think this is for everyone. thehiddenface52 asks, “What’s your favorite winter activity?”

Eggman: @thefortnitelegend190 asks, “Eggman, why don’t you team with Sonic? You guys would be a really good team.”

Tails: @squidboi7674 asks, “Eggman, do you do commissions? Like can I pay you to do a custom badnik all for me, because that would be really cool I think.”

Sonic: @TyphonTwister asks, “You guys have beaten a lot of baddies over the years. This might be a little weird but, who was your favorite to fight? Besides the good doctor of course.”

Tails: ExcaliburSonic asks, “If flamingos are pink because they eat shrimp, then why are you blue? Do you eat blue paint?”

Knuckles: This is from kittyxpickle. They ask, “To Knuckles, rougher than the rest of them, are you allowed on the internet without supervision? If yes, please reconsider.”

Outro [Twitter Link] [TikTok Link]

Feel free to let me know of any mistakes or missing responses, in either this post or the transcript doc, and I'll try to fix it. I'll also take suggestions on how to improve the transcript, since this is my first time making one.

i wish i could take the time to parse through my taylor swift is/isn't a gay icon thoughts on here but i fear people on this website don't know how to behave

#like she isn't a gay icon. but she is a lesbian icon? but like in different ways than gay icons have historically been gay icons #basically what i'm trying to say is that her status as a lesbian icon has literally nothing to do with her interactions with the lesbian #community. like i don't feel particularly revered or nurtured by her in the way someone like gaga has taken the time to #actually sit with and deliberately cater to gay culture for example #like it's different.#and almost entirely fandom-led #whether taylor is actually queer is also irrelevant to this #am i making any sense?#like okay i think you could argue she did a little bit of it in 2019 but we all know how that felt/came across #she's better at being a gay icon when she's explicitly not including the queer community in her work or acknowledging them in any way #because it's literally not of her own volition #and i'm honestly not convinced it's an aspect of her art or fanbase she considers #sometimes it feels like it actively makes her uncomfortable #and yet she really has become entrenched in modern day lesbian pop culture iconography in these last few years #anyway this isn't me Saying Anything. i'm just thinking about it #vi is typing...
