Reblog art guys. Seriously.
One thing I like about the hellaverse I think is not told enough is how about the demons are so humanized while the human souls are demonized?
Like, the demons lives in the office trying to work for life, having parental issues, relationships troubles, etc... While the demoniac humans are deeply tormented souls trying to face their own motivations and morality trying to redeem their owns souls?
This is pure patters subversion right here. Demons deal with simple, mundane day to day worries, and mere mortals deal with profound and existencial questions about themself and humanity around. I think It's a brilliant counterpoint to how demons and human are often portrayed in those kind of stories and I think that is beautiful.
Being a mom and an anarchist and trying to figure out the whole “parenting” song and dance from that perspective makes me think 8-year-olds have about got it figured out. I hate school. I hate tests. I hate bedtime.
Garmadon in the past;
Garmadon now;
This just goes to show how insecure garmadon is, he really has fallen deep into depression and he doesn't even realise it, he's just lost himself, and it's even implied in Spinjitzu brothers that garmadon had a utter swept of loneliness after finding out that THIS was who he was gonna be,, oh boy :(
"Ninjago is my home" turned into > "I wanted Ninjago to be in my image, I never realised I already had, in you", LLOYD is his home <3
I think some people forget that some literature and some media is meant to be deeply uncomfortable and unsettling. It's meant to make you have a very visceral reaction to it. If you genuinely can't handle these stories then you are under no obligation to consume them but acting as if they have no purpose or as if people don't have a right to tell these stories, stories that often relate to the darkest or most disturbing parts of life, then you should do some introspection.
additionally i think a lot of us remain helplessly dependent on self flagellation and punishment believing it to be discipline/self control because we are not taught to believe that care and deliberate healing and patience and attention are disciplines themselves
Full offense but sometimes fandom just totally make up the characterization of a character and then complain when that isn’t canon
