𝐊𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐊, 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄

Khorne favors his Flesh Hounds above all his daemons and his personal pet Karanak above all other Flesh Hounds. When someone, be it mortal or daemon, provokes the ire of the Blood God enough, it is Karanak he sends to see the wrong righted. Karanak is the physical manifestation of Khorne's vengeance and a peerless hunter, a three headed terror from whom escape is impossible. One head tracks the quarry's scent, the other can track them through time, and the final head can track them through their very thoughts and dreams. Once found, the prey item is killed with quicksilver precision and the body is brought to Khorne's hooves. The Blood God takes the skull and rewards Karanak with the body of the kill.

That moment in the show where Johannes rewards Tim for being a good boy by giving him some much deserved scratches.

I know it’s common for RE fans to lament the fact that Leon never got to live his dream of being a cop but I feel like he was going to have a severely rude awakening resulting in the loss of his innocence either way. His chief of police was a serial rapist and murderer who liked to taxidermy his victims’ bodies. In an AU where umbrella never existed and there’s no zombies he most likely would have been harassed/threatened off the force bc he tried to expose Irons.

i think one of the reasons i really like bernard and darla is because they met him at a time when he wasn't robin. to me, tim drake has always felt like an amalgamation of robin and tim. and he's good at it y'know? being tim drake and robin but when bernard and darla meet him at grieves he can't be robin. he has to just be tim drake. and he's obviously struggling but he tries for his father. and that's so interesting to me because who is tim drake without robin? he obviously doesn't know either. and we see him explore this in urban legends. he even asks himself in urban legends, "who am i if i'm not robin?" and i don't think it's too much of a surprise that at the end of urban legends, when he's figured out what he wants, he chooses the boy who only ever knew him as tim drake.

The fact that Main-verse Ooo is as good and as kind as it is (relative to the other universes shown so far, at least, it's obviously not perfect) all because of the same character that starts off as the OG series' antagonist, the person we were made to see as the bad guy (albeit an often ineffectual one) for several seasons, is making me lose my mind.

Imagine finding out the guy you spent your childhood beating up and saving princesses from is in fact a driving catalyst behind you being able to exist, and not only exist but also live in a world that knows what kindness is. All because that man, the same man who you've witnessed do terrible things, once met a little girl and taught her how to be good.

Simon's story really shows us that even if you lose your way and forget how it is to be good yourself, the world keeps the memory for you. That act of love Simon showed Marcy by protecting her and seeing her as more than the monster she thought herself to be created ripples upon ripples, small at first but eventually enough to help give their wreckage of a world—a world that easily could have been forsaken, its goodness overlooked because of its inhospitable remains—a chance to grow into something beautiful. Because of those very same ripples Simon created, the people of Ooo grew up in a world where they know enough about kindness that they were able and willing to spare the 'bad guy' some, to see beyond the wreckage and allow him to grow too.

In saving Marceline, Simon helped to not only to save the world, but also himself.

its always such a good moment when you're scrolling through a ship tag in a new fandom, and you see a name you know

and you're like, YES

because it's a favourite author from like, three fandoms ago, and maybe they were one of two (2) people who did your ship justice in that fandom and you just KNOW that their opinions on this new ship are going to be Correct

brian is Such a funny fucking character btw. i love brian. sometimes i think about him too hard and just randomly start laughing. he’s introduced as the nice handsome strong love interest with a boyish smile and by the time the story is over he’s suffered more than jesus. it would have genuinely been kinder to crucify him. brian is the literal poster child for “fate worse than death.” brian is like if the long-suffering older brother archetype was a guy. if his life is a peaceful drive down a highway his girlfriend is the bug-covered freak who gets into the car, throws him into the passenger seat, grabs the wheel, and rams the entire vehicle directly through the wall of the nearest police headquarters at 129mph. and then she gets out and becomes the new police chief (previous police chief died when the car hit) and just fucking leaves him there. he’s not even normal but everyone else is so much worse than him that it ends up being his job to make like he’s the normal one anyway. you try to rob one gas station so your absolutely horrible little sister whom you love doesn’t go to juvie and then the next thing you know Taylor Fucking Hebert is calling you to inform you that she just killed wonder woman. he HAS had bugs on his dick before and he’s just going to have to live with that. Wouldn’t even notice with the type of shit he’s got going on. He emanates darkness to cope and it does not fucking work. his life sucks so fucking bad man. I love him.

tags by @peony-pearl on this post that got me thinking about how gene yang writes sokka as if he is the ember island players’ portrayal of sokka (down to literally saying “wack a pow”). of course that episode is as much a parody of how the fans interpret these characters as it is an illustration of in-world colonial propaganda (and im sure the targeted audience being situated in the imperial core has nothing to do with that coincidence…) but surely, you’d think that a writer who was hired to write semi-canon paratext would understand the characters better than the fandombrained masses….

it makes me wonder if because sokka “endorsed” his portrayal in the episode, gene yang thinks that sokka “approved” of this play and it thus ought to lend itself to his characterization?? which doesn’t make sense regardless (a tv character should be interpreted on the basis of more than one singular episode), but it’s especially confusing considering that he doesn’t actually think that eip!sokka is an accurate portrayal, but rather that he finds it amusing. toph doesn’t actually think she’s a big buff man, but she isn’t enjoying the play for its fidelity to their experiences.

sokka and suki literally joking about their trauma during intermission should be an indicator of where they’re at regarding this play. while earnest, sensitive, straightforward aang, katara, and zuko take genuine offense at their portrayals, sokka and suki (the ones who wanted to go see the play in the first place) were always aware that this piece of colonial propaganda would be unflattering, and they approach it with a sense of ironic detachment and laugh (for the most part, sokka’s unprocessed yue trauma notwithstanding) at just how offensive and terrible it is.

while aang, katara, and zuko lament their offensive portrayals, sokka and suki sneak backstage so that sokka can suggest more jokes to the actor responsible for portraying him as shallow comic relief. sokka’s goal is to get laughs, not faithful representation, which he knows the fire nation would never actually grant him. the correct takeaway from that episode regarding sokka’s characterization is not that he acts like his actor counterpart in any way, but that he and suki would go to midnight screenings of the room together and throw spoons at the screen. i do think that faith erin hicks understands this. gene yang clearly does not.

I am not immune to a good ‘Feanor Needs Therapy’ joke myself, but when I stop to think about it, I’m compelled to believe that, actually, Feanor was in therapy from the moment he could talk and it made him worse

ok wait why is this recent ep actually fucking terrifying i did not expect it to be this scary
