Wait A Second, Irish Man Playing Hollow Knight. RTGame? Love Them. Anyway, Love All The AUs That People

I saw a bunch of comments on this hilarious animatic of that funny clip where someone tells Ranboo to give Tubbo back to Tommy about them going to war over him, and honestly, that’s just so freaking funny.

So anyway, AU where Dream dies via Sam after bringing back Tommy and Wilbur, and everyone gets therapy, and tones things down. Ranboo and Tommy use the Hotel Rivalry as a disguise for the true war-the war for Tubbo. It involves trying to out gift each other, trying to bribe Michael, and many, many daily stealings of the Tubbo when he’s hanging out with one of them. At some point, other server members get involved, as well as people not from the server, because Tubbo has many siblings and father-figures, and they might as well join in, right? They have just as much right as anyone to try and win him over, and it looks like fun.

Tubbo’s just glad that they’re all bonding…even if getting snatched at least once a week is mildly irritating.

I'm loving Dungeon Meshi's mix of quasi-probable magical biological realism and "It's magic fuck you."

Red dragons swallow their prey whole and use the undigestible remains as fuel for their fire breath, which is lit by creating a spark with their tongue. Living armors are colonies of mollusks who expand and contract to mimic muscle movement. Actually "man-eating" plants is a misnomer, they catch small animals with a filament that retracts when touched and they use their decomposing prey as compost.

These mushrooms can turn you into a gnome. It's magic fuck you.

ruan mei is apathetic and doesn't care: broke

ruan mei is so deeply traumatized by the loss of her parents that she never wants to experience grief or loss again, her general aloofness is a direct result of this trauma, her literal entire character and personality is a direct result of those she loved deeply as a child: pretty much spelled out in her character story, how are people misinterpreting her this badly. this isn't even a woke take, it's literally just canon, I just don't think you all care enough to read a character's story before doing an analysis

never getting over how genuinely distressed tai lung looks when po does his shuffling trick. mid fight this man stops and panics because he cant figure out a childrens magic trick

All because of one lil detail...

Y'all came up with some wickedly creepy, sad and cool potential agent 4 art!

......ya.

I think all the agents need a good and long vacation after their most recent missions....

This is how the golden age of piracy ended.

If you told me that AI wrote the script for season 4 of The Umbrella Academy I’d almost believe you. But I don’t think even AI could’ve messed up it up as much as the writers did. Someone must have a secret vendetta against the fans or something because in what world was that a good season? Or even a good way to end a show? I’m so blown away by the talent that was wasted, the character growth, the hardworking actors, the fans who’ve waited so long. The only thing that comes to mind when trying to articulate how let down i felt is comparing it to the ending of Game of Thrones.

Netflix has had so many loyal fan/customers despite how quickly they cancel shows. I myself use my friends account as we are at each other’s houses quite frequently anyway. But if I had my own account still (I unsubscribed after they cancelled tv shows after the strikes) I think I’d have canceled it for sure after this. I’m no expert by any means at marketing or producing shows, but something has got to change. Or at least I think so, maybe they’re still making money by the millions and don’t care about quality? I’m just confused as to how this happened.

I myself have never read the comics, can someone tell me if this is anything similar to what happens in those? I feel like there has to be some explanation for how badly the season was handled. Let me know if I’m missing something!

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ARCANES ENDING BELOW:

Now, this is off topic for my blog but I'd like to shed light on something.

Arcanes ending. Namely the end of Jinx's character arc is what I believe to be one of the finest pieces of writing in the modern world with no exception. When Jinx is born at the end of 103 we see what happens to someone who heals wrong, we see the kind of monster they become when they aren't nurtured and given a proper environment to heal in. Powder becomes a monster known as Jinx who goes on to commit multiple acts of terrorism against Piltover. The way she feeds into this idea of being a monster as a way of lashing out at the pain she's felt from being "abandoned" by Vi is so incredibly realistic and relatable that it begs the question what has happened in the writers lives that allow them to understand such a transformation so thoroughly.

Then, at the end of season 1 we see Powder/Jinx finally embrace her new self with no more qualms about her identity, truly and finally one. Without any need to hold back anymore, she does something truly unforgivable and without redemption in the form of 9/11ing Piltover. Even in this moment though, she screams and cries in pain at how her old life is well and truly gone. The emotional turmoil of what she's done and what she's doing is too much to handle. To violently tear a new life out from the broken and beaten body of your old one is something no soul should have to do, but she does, and she makes it relatable.

Once we see her again in season 2, she has become much more lucid and comfortable in her own body as Jinx, the hallucinations have subsided for the most part and her inner turmoil is appropriately dealt with. Additionally she has a goal in mind now, she's chosen who she is and she knows what she wants to do: Kill Vi. The new life she has built for herself is purposeful, deliberate, no more a mish mash of two clashing ideals.

She wants to solidify her role as a monster once and for all, which ends in an epic battle between her and her sister, and at the very end of the fight right before she's taken out for good? A single soul sees the value in her life and risks everything to protect her. A child. Everyone, even Jinx is shocked by this because how could anyone ever love an ugly, broken thing like her? Let alone risk their life for her? The shock this instills in everyone buys Jinx enough time to escape with the kid, Isha. Imagine performing such horrible, inconceivable actions with no remorse and being full of such hatred, and then one person decides you're worth it. Just one person decides you are worthy of love and that they do love you and want you around. Can you imagine how that would shatter your world view? Being full of such self hatred and hatred for the world around you only to be shown warmth even in those times? This is exactly what happens to Jinx.

When we see her next, some time has passed, and she's even begun to drop the name Jinx. Her new friend, Isha, and her have begun a new life together and they look out for each other. The way Jinx describes her new life is "like I'm looking through glasses, except I can't tell if everything's blurry or clear." And what's clear to us as the audience is that Jinx is FINALLY healing. She is finally beginning to find some peace after all she has been through, and all it took was ONE soul, one singular person to love her even after all she had done. We go on to see her reunite with her sister, and somewhat with her father. We get to watch her slowly rebuild the life that was stolen from her and reconnect with those she lost, and those she hurt. This represents hope and change, rebirth and love, that maybe your sins aren't who you are. That you can change and love and be so wonderfully you with those who love you!

Isha dies. Isha, Jinx's anchor to the world, dies protecting her. Yet again Jinx loses everything. Her father is taken from her yet again in the process and the exact trauma that shaped her into Jinx is entirely recreated. Except, this time? There's no insanity. There's no hallucinations and mania. There's no rage or hate or flames or explosions or chaos or screaming. It's just sad. Nothing but sorrow fills Jinx up as she loses her one and only friend. She intends to kill herself at this point. She looks back at her life and sees how everyone she gets close to dies, gets hurt, or she in some way is preventing from being happy. That she alone is the perpetuator of a cycle of violence that has plagued her families lives for years and years. So she decides to give them closure. She tells Vi she can stop feeling bad for being happy and move on, she tells Cait she didn't know her Mom was in the explosion, and she leaves. Nothing more, just leaves. Doesn't tell anyone what she's going to do, she just does it. The intense guilt she feels is palpable in every breath she takes, it's clear she just wants to quietly leave this world without hurting anyone, just this once. Then the time finally comes, to end her life and finally be free of it all. Only to be stopped. One more remnant of her old life comes back and convinces her to stick around a little longer. Somehow, she agrees, but we all know that this is only temporary. The guilt someone feels after doing something so terrible, so unforgivable, can't be cleansed by a single conversation. She hates herself and just wants to stop hurting people, but she still has a small spark, something in her that has hope she can do good. So she delays her death to try one more time to be kind.

Next we see her, she's got a new look and is fighting alongside Vi, instead of against. She acknowledges their connection and at a pivotal moment, takes the fall. She saves her sisters life and "sacrifices" herself in the process. At the very last moment, she understands that there's another way out of her pain and hurting everyone around her instead of dying. She fakes her own death to everyone and escapes the country quietly. She tells no one and quietly escapes, with everyone having the closure of her death.

No more chasing her, no more thinking of what she might be plotting, no more hoping the old her will return. It's just over.

Her final action in Arcane is one of kindness, and healing to those she hurt. It is not redemption, but it is understanding. She accepts she is a bad person and may very well still hate herself, however she at the very least opens herself up to a new life far from those she hurt. And I think that's beautiful.

Anyway this is just my personal interpretation of the ending, I'm open to new ideas and down to discuss though! Btw I didn't proof read this so if it seems messed up anywhere that's why.

Y'all's goin about @burrotello 's super awesome Fight Club AU,

while my headcanon Pomni already knows how to throw them hands XD
