I Saw A Bunch Of Comments On This Hilarious Animatic Of That Funny Clip Where Someone Tells Ranboo To

what a kind and reliable group

it's about how jinx was always perfect in silco's eyes. it's about how jayce always loved viktor because he was imperfect. it's about jinx saying, "i thought maybe you could love me like you used to, even though i'm... different." it's about viktor saying, "i am more than i ever was." silco bringing jinx back to life after she tried to kill herself on the bridge; jayce bringing viktor back to life despite his promise to destroy the hexcore. it's about jinx's "looks like you got a couple" cutting to the core of viktor's obsession with curing himself, and viktor instantly parrying with "you have much to offer this commune, powder," a stark reminder of the child she no longer is, the child people won't stop recognizing her as.

vi accusing jinx of murdering powder. jayce snarling that his partner died in this room. vi's lesson being that she has to accept jinx for who she is now, who she has the potential to be in the future, and to stop letting her grief for powder eclipse her love for jinx in the present - jayce's lesson being that he has to experience the world through viktor's eyes to really understand him, and then he has to show viktor how he has always seen him, and everything else only gets in the way. silco telling jinx that she needs to find the strength to walk away, or the cycle will never end. jayce and viktor ending the cycle together.

i'm always with you, sis. even when we're worlds apart. // in all timelines, all possibilities... only you can show me this.

Lots of jokes get made in modern comics and fandom about the pejorative double entendre of Dick Grayson’s given/chosen nickname for Richard, and it IS funny, but I want to give a moment of appreciation for the other, kind of brilliant, double meaning that’s unfortunately fallen out of common modern usage, but would have been way more common when he was first named in 1940.

He’s literally named “detective” you guys, there is no way the World’s Greatest Detective’s partner wasn’t named this way on purpose.

Add to this the way the fandom loves to explore the 21st century reveal/retcon of Dick Grayson’s Romani heritage, and the possible etymology of the word, and you have a goldmine of largely untapped, to my knowledge, discussion of thoughts from Dick Grayson and the people around him about the relationship between his identity, the life he chose, the things he chooses to honor/remember, and the persistence of a nickname that has fallen increasingly out of favor in most other modern contexts.

I love when it’s as simple as “it’s his name and there’s no reason to change it”, but I also think there’s just lots of room for him to also have Real Thoughts about it throughout his life.

Just as a reminder to those hyped about side order, this is Nintendo’s official opinion of Agent 4 from the Splatoon website:

Look at her face. Does she look like a pushover? Someone who is just a little wacky? No. This is a teenager who fought an entire Empire. And *won*. People I know keep saying she’s not as impressive as Three or Eight and like?? Just because she did the same thing as Three makes it no less impressive you ding dongs. In fact, she did it with less help than Three had, AND kicked Octavio to the curb WHILE HE HAD CALLIE ON HIS SIDE. She’s practically a force of nature. And it’s not like the Splatoon devs to forget something like this.

No matter what your hopes for side order are, don’t expect Four to be some damsel in distress or anything similar. Remember what the contents of the Splatoon 2 campaign were. Remember that Four is not a member of the New Squidbeak Splatoon because “someone has to be Agent 4!!!” Because I can almost guarantee the devs haven’t forgotten. I say with complete confidence that their definition of Four being “pushover” is a red herring. She’s going to kick our ass on February 22nd.

Get ready.

AU where Tubbo goes to see the Egg either before or after he and Tommy originally go. And this time, instead of just being mean to him, the Egg decides to infect him. 

But not to control him. No, the Egg takes a different route-after all, it wouldn’t do if it’s champion had too many doubts, and the boy will be an excellent example of what ‘good’ it can do. As it’s vines and flowers bloom on his skin, Tubbo feels all his sadness being drained from him. All his anger, all his pain, all his fear. It’s ripped from him, leaving him with a hollow sort of happiness. 

And nothing else. 

After that, the Egg lets him go. It has no more use for him, at the moment, so he’s free to wander the server, and do whatever he wants.

Maybe Skeppy follows after him, in a similar sort of situation. He was the first to be infected, but he was more of a test than anything. Empty as it is, he does feel a sort of kinship with Tubbo, having gone through something similar. 

The friendship is hollow-hollow like them, because that’s all that’s left, really. Hollow, like Tubbo’s absent smile. Hollow like Skeppy’s passion.

Hollow pawns, wandering the server, not able to truly understand the horror in everyone’s eyes as they catch sight of them.

Here's a list of things I liked in s4 because I need more than one morbidly beautiful opening shot to give me a purpose in life:

Confirmation that Ben and Viktor were close as children

Proof that Ben's always had a mean streak in him, the brainwashing just made him seem like a saint

The concept of the time subway

Five's Deli

That scene with Diego spinning in the air with bullets swirling around him

Jennifer having a Filipina actress

Diego and Lila's daughter being named Grace

Klaus practically being Claire's other parent

Luther embracing the silly

Gene and Jean

Brotherhood AU

Branch design by @elijah-doodle ?

This is either some kind of bizarre foreshadowing or a very egregious example of Star Rail's clumsy design and writing philosophy.

Cannot believe Floyd promised his infant brother that he'd come back for him, after watching all of his other brothers leave. And then years later a brother did return to the tree and it wasn't fucking Floyd. I'd be on the goddamn news.

Botw/totk Link 🤝 Skyward Sword Link

Falling as far as they can before pulling out their paraglider/sailcloth

link is like literally the essence of courage personified. he will just freefall without ANYTHING. like he has a paraglider but doesnt feel the need to deploy it until the last moment and only to orient himself so he can reach his destination. in other words it’s more of a steering wheel to him than a seatbelt. could you fucking imagine someone doing this? link could make nik wallenda quake in his boots
