Y’all are like “Aizawa is my husband” “Aizawa is my dad” yeah well Aizawa is the racoon in the garbage can between my neighbour’s house and mine. Everyday I check up on him and he hisses at me ungratefully. If anything were to happen to him I would kill everyone in the area and then myself. You will never have what we have.

bad internet take and awful character analysis arent real they cant hurt me
fascinated by the negative spaces in pink diamond/rose quartz's characterization. we only get her through others' perceptions and memories, we never get her explaining herself, the only message left directly by her is the videotape for steven. we don't hear her motives, her feelings, her regrets, we (via steven) just hear how her life was remembered by those who knew her and have to try and patchwork her together. almost all character progression on the show happens when someone finally stops and opens up about why they are the way they are so it can be empathized with and fixed, but rose never got that chance, it seems that she did most of her processing in private before eventually going out on her own terms. there's a lot that I think can be easily inferred, but we can never be certain.
like, I think what she did to volleyball might be the worst thing she ever did, in her top three atrocities at least, but every other character gets to explain, apologize for, or try to fix their worst actions. both the pearls needed her to not be there for them to grow so I don't think an explanation from her would have done anybody any good, but it leaves the audience to wonder why she did that.
was she having a petulant dictator moment, throwing a tantrum because the other diamonds told her she was too young to do colonialism? was it something else? the fact that she got another pearl seems to show a level of shame, like she knew she did something wrong and couldn't bear to look at it, like she couldn't bring herself to either keep acting like everything was fine or to admit proper guilt and try to make amends. steven's destructive powers only came out when he was at his very worst, was pink constantly operating at that level of traumatized instability before starting the rebellion and finding her healing powers? was she so unwell that she was incapable of stopping herself from involuntarily hurting people, or did she just not care until something prompted her to change? did she lash out at her pearl instead of the diamonds because she knew it was the outlet her privileged status afforded her, or was it a terrible coincidence of who was closest to her at the time?
neither us nor the characters can ever know any of these answers, it's just a knot of possible motives that can never be untied. maybe she was trying her hardest to be better for her entire life and her failures hurt so much that trying to think about or fix them was like touching a hot stove. maybe she always carried with her the royal idea that she's allowed to smooth over and forget any problems that bug her too much. maybe she left loose ends because she thought she'd done all she could with them and any more interference from her would just make it worse. no one can ever say. she existed, she doesn't anymore, and everyone affected by her life has to try and make sense of the impacts she had on them, both good and bad.
i know that like. i'm not the target audience for bnha. and that it makes sense for there to be 99% edgy teen midoriya fic... but also................... what if........................................................ bnha was about my baby boys and i could read a million everyone lives aus
"ain you'd get annoyed at mic's characterization in every fic and the lack of aro!shirakumo bc no one else has that hc and you'd just never read any fic" okay well what of it. what if i just wish everyone was writing my fics for me. what if the fact that that can't happen is a sign of a cruel and unforgiving world. what then.
look at this panel and try to convince me that mic isn't playing 5d chess with his stubborn stoic little weirdo at all times. he's plotting all the time. he's an endurance predator. he's ready to pounce. this is him trying to make aizawa get fckn loved on and aizawa is using all his might to Not See It
my ideal mic characterization in an everyone lives au is him being like 'oh you and aizawa are such a good duo I don't want to intrude too much! just here to support!" and then shirakumo's like 'hey what's that behind your back' and mic's like 'oh nothing just a tiny thing I've been working on' and it's a vast mental catalog of everything aizawa has ever done or said and five thousand strategies on how to navigate his stoic web of lies
she's so brave
erasermic pro wresting au. that's it. they're wrestlers. hizashi would probably be the heel more often than shouta.
like oh yeah Present Mic with his goku power screams is a fun guy but Eraserhead who can kill with a stare and who has had like 8 death-revival arcs is THE guy ppl wanna see win overall
they do in-character interviews all the time but because they're both terrible at being IC outside of the ring the writers just made it canon that they're husbands both irl and in wrestling. why does present mic fight his undead husband? easy: eraserhead is possessed sometimes
sure mic's muscles alone aren't enough to remove the demons but his soulful, agonized cries to his beloved always give eraser's battered soul the power to fight off the darkness that both sustains and destroys him. love conquers all humanity, gay love also conquers demons
doodle!! Dump!!!
everyone thinks their own personal favorite character is The Most Character Ever but they all pale in comparison to pearl stevenuniverse. she’s a neurotic, uptight, perfectionist, infodump-ballerina turned soccer-MILF-lesbian-bitch-magnet who’s seduced half the female cast of the show. she’s a former slave. she’s the veteran of a thousand year war. she’s such a talented engineer she once built an entire working spaceship in one night. she’s deeply in love with the main character’s dead mother to the point where it’s the focus of her entire personal arc. she’s a terrifyingly talented swordfighter. she’s almost unanimously agreed among fans to be autistic. she has a collection of phone numbers stored in the pocket dimension inside her brain that she’s never called because she doesn’t know what phone numbers are. shes an overprotective adoptive mother. she’s an extremely advanced AI. she’s a personified rock in a children’s cartoon who spends almost her entire screen-time singing musical-theatre-style-ballads or committing genuinely grievous interpersonal ills spawning threads of discourse more rancid then the depths of hell. hey where are you going i’m not done yet i haven’t even mentioned the how she caused the toilet paper crisis of 2020 or how she spent the first 4 and a half seasons biochemically incapable of getting therapy
system of a clown. if you even care
someone insert that light eyes/dark eyes meme (or the real reson mic wears shades)
did i get the concept right
we’ve started feeding this tortoiseshell-point siamese recently. she’s beautiful, aside from the fact she has disturbingly big, bulging blue eyes. we’ve started calling her… ‘goop’
it’s goop!
GUESS WHO HAD GOOPLETS! SIX ENTIRE BABIES! mama goop held onto her gooplings for an entire week longer than she had to, so the gooplitos came out very well done and fluffy!!
nearly five years ago… since then, mama goop has aged significantly, and as she nears the end of her life, she’s been given a cushy retirement alongside her beloved husband, papa pumpkin. for everyone who remembers this post, the goop troop sends their regards
we all need to start appreciating peridot stevenuniverse more for what she did for us. it would be easier to say what she DIDN'T do honestly. she's autistic. she's silly. she's sad and little. she's an overworked i. t. guy. she's a saturday morning cartoon villain. she's aroace. she's gay. she yelled at her boss and immediately had a mental breakdown. she's both a victim of and perpetuates the oppressive society she was raised in. she has to unlearn her conceptions of other people's worth and her own worth so she stops hurting other people and hurting herself. she achieves this in part through robot fights. she's hyperfixated on a canadian soap opera. she draws shipping charts. she's nonbinary. she can never go home again. she doesn't want to go home again. she went from believing literally anything was a weapon that could be used to harm her to farming and making art and music with her best friend in a barn. she's like 3 feet tall. she has a twitter account where she talks in all caps constantly. she's green and her hair is a triangle literally what can't she do.
Steven Universe ended on a great note, but now I just really want a spinoff series about Steven travelling across America and inflicting his own brand of weirdness on people
“So this guy walks into the diner. I say ‘guy’ because I had no idea how old he was, he was either a very tall child or a babyfaced grandpa. He’s wearing a bright pink varsity jacket and flip-flops, and when he’s done breakfast he gives me a fifty-dollar tip on a five dollar breakfast. So now I’m thinking, ‘Oh, I gotta know more about this guy,’ and I ask him what he does for work.
“And this guy looks at me, and he looks like the oldest man in the world, and he says, and I quote, ‘I used to run a school but I retired because the stress was killing me,’ and walks out. I think about him maybe once a week.”
“I really love being a creator sometimes. Last week I was at a local con, selling enamel pins and this teenager - I think he was a teen, but he looked like a giant toddler - comes over in his gaudy-as-heck pink jacket. Face is fresh as morning dew but he’s got a real tired look in his eyes, until he sees somehing out the corner of his eye that makes him light up. Like I swear you could see stars in his eyes. Things is, I used to be big into a silly show called Crying Breakfast Friends and still had some pins left in the grab box. Never sold a lot of them cause the show was old by now and those were some early pins I made so they were not the best, but he goes absolutely feral over them so I say he can have them for cheap. He’s about to pay when he sees my other pins and their prices and insists to pay full price. I’m taken aback and for some reason try to argue, but he says “Look, you are not my moms, you can’t survive on love and light alone”. I sorta didn’t process that, but was more focused on stopping that boy from overspending on some crappy pins cause he seemed real nice and then he just follows it up with “I get it. You don’t think they are as good as the other ones, but you put the same work into them as the others. They are an important part of how your art became yours and that’s why they are some of the most important pins you ever made”. This kid nearly made me choke up and I gave up argueing against getting more money.
So we start talking about CBF. It felt real good to talk about something that you thought only you cared about with someobdy else and we really got along. And the kid used to be a superfan, used to make reaction videos and fanart and roleplayed with his breakfast, even made breakfast OCs. The last thing he didn’t really want to talk about, because he got real quiet all of sudden. How can breakfast hurt you that bad? But I managed to cheer him up by saying I’m gonna make more CBF pins and would send him some. He was super grateful and told me to send it to the beach of his city. I wanted a real address but he said the postwoman there would know what it meant.
And just as he leaves he say “My therapist said I should reconnect with the things that make me happy to combat my PTSD and existential dread, so thanks, you really saved me here” boy you’re 16, ur welcome but what the hell?
UPDATE: I found his tubetube account and yeah, there’s all the reaction videos but also he apparently used to be part of SADIE KILLER AND THE SUSPECTS like he played a bit of guitar with them and documented their sessions and uploaded them AND HIS DAD WAS THE MANAGER THAT LAUNCHED THEM BECAUSE HE ASKED HIM TO DO IT wat? I have so many questions. Like did the rockstar life give him PTSD before they even got big? Does he have a dad and two moms? was his dad his mom? is this a trans thing? who is that sweet boy?
SECOND UPDATE: Apparently his dad is an underground rock legend and a millionaire cause his song appeared in a sprite commercial. I’m done. How are people real”
