It’s truly taking me too long to finish this LMAO (yall im putting my soul into this rn)

not to be a killjoy but it's still crazy to me that it's considered mean to be like "maybe you should read / play / watch the source material before creating fanworks and diving into the fandom" bc every time i see somebody going "i havent played disco elysium or know anything about it tbh but uwu here's harry and kim kissing" idk maybe you should engage with it. maybe you should play the anti-capitalist surrealist game where you investigate the murder of a mercenary who led the gang rape of a foreign girl and process that for a bit? and then you can do cutesy mlm or whatever idc. but like at the absolute bare minimum you should understand what the source material involves otherwise we get the phenomenon of people joining a dragon age server and wanting content warnings for like, mage racism. like it's fine to ship and transform the genre into whatever but if you arent comfortable with discussions of the actual source content itself then maybe the fandom isnt for you and a different one is. peace and love.

i do love fish 🐟 a wip

be kind. you never know when someone is going through their naruto phase.

Its so funny how Light just has a couple sets of like. Adidas tracksuits. in his wardrobe for when he has to go out to Do Evil

yes the footwashing scene is shipping bait thinly disguised as biblical imagery but theres a bit i cant stop thinking about as a metaphor for Light’s whole. Deal. As kira

this. This bit right here where he dries L’s hair off.
on the surface, it seems like a nice gesture- something kind, the sort of thing you do just to be nice, and fair, not expecting a reward.

but look:

The only reason Light cared was because L’s hair was dripping water onto his foot.
What I take from this scene is that Light only cares to do anything particularly benevolent when it’s directly affecting him, be that L’s hair dripping water on him, or his need to feel like a God. His superiority complex makes him appear kind, but he would have no interest in helping others if it weren’t serving him in some way.

Idk I just think its interesting :))

its been far too long since i last made some of these 😔

you used to be able to play games on cartoonnetwork.com . . . now every company's website wants to give you spyware and spread corporate propaganda but I REMEMBER when you could play a BEN 10 adventure game in-browser without so much as giving away your e-mail. people's heads should be on pikes for this

i need to write i need to write i need to write. someone yell at me PLEASE.

Doubling this. Someone beat me with the motivation bug. I beg.
