The pope’s pet cardinal

There is so much gapfiller potential in the fact that Hu Tao, Lan Yan, and Qiqi spent two days inside the border as it was disintegrating around them, and Hu Tao could see the exit but could never reach it in time. Like the border between life and death was both her duty and a place where she is fairly comfortable, she maintained it and in turn it helped her job go smoothly, and now it traps and betrays her despite her efforts, a sanctum desecrated through no fault of her own.

The border is the place where she's supposed to belong, it's her expertise, and suddenly none of her skill or dedication is enough - not to preserve the border, not to deal with the sudden illnesses in Qingce, not even to save the two people trapped her, let alone herself. She's not even in her familiar uniform, not wearing the hat that provides her with confidence, or maybe a reminder of her duties. Yes, she's expecting backup, and no, she's not alone. But she's with a person she just met (albeit one she gets along with) who also bears a long legacy, and the child who might as well be the embodiment of compromise, the proof that Hu Tao's perception isn't perfect. And if she misunderstood Qiqi for so long, what else about her job (her livelihood, her life) has she missed?

quick thingyy so the colors arent too crazy in this one mb gang

no you guys don't get it. the pevensies were always fated to die tragically early, these children whose childhoods were torn away by the brutality of world war i and then who died so early into adulthood, before they'd had a chance to live and to grow up -- in 1949, like so many who made it to early adulthood, just, only to be mowed down on the battlefields of europe. the most common age of death in wwii was 19. the siblings represent an entire generation of lost youth, and Narnia is the gift, the fantasy, the parable of heaven that told the survivors these children got to live out full lives in Narnia before perishing tragically young

susan didn’t get “kept out of narnia because she liked girly things.” she survived because she grew up

Manager propaganda for the swagless competition!

Do you know Reigen from mob psycho 100? Do you know Tatsumi from zombieland saga? Do you know Kobeni from chainsaw man? all 3 are in this bracket; and she’s like a mix of those 3. In 1 CHARACTER! triple the power!! triple the lack of swag!!!

She is the manager of a maid cafe that’s basically part of the mafia. She’s always in debt and getting toyed with by higher-ups. She has no dignity and the moral backbone of a caramel flan. No one on her team respects her.

(she wasn't even ordered to strip naked she just did it because she has the urge to be as pathetic as humanely possible)

She gives inspiring and confident speeches and then when what she preached fails miserably she turns around and gives the exact opposite speech just as inspiringly and confidently. She canonically says "leave it to me!" and ruins everything. She is this:

but a woman #feminism

(this happens 30 seconds later btw:

)

She made a deal to lose in a rigged contest and she couldn’t even manage to lose properly. With her pancreas on the line btw (she's fine). When someone complained about how little food they had (because they have no money) she started talking about "you know, back during the war," and got ignored and talked over immediately. She bought a cake for her employee’s birthday and secretly ate a third of it before the event.

The 1 day she was away, her team turned the mafia hierarchy upside down and rose to the top. Meanwhile she was fishing convincing herself they must be hopeless without her and then hallucinating a fish telling her how useless she is (<- literally had a reigen separation arc) (also when she caught a fish it slapped her face). When she came back and saw the situation she started bragging about how that’s one of her maids.

All of that in less than 12 episodes! Also she has a name apparently? but in the credits she's just listed as 'manager'

We need more cringefail women! Vote for the Manager in @swaglesscompetition 2023!!

just something silly about jayce growing a mustache
