Normally I don’t make posts like this, however I fear this needs to be heard. We are running out of clean drinking water. In 13 years we will have run out. Currently, over 2 billion people do not have access to clean drinking water. In order to help fight against generative AI and overuse of water, please limit/stop generative AI use. Generative AI is taking from clean water reserves worldwide in order to generate texts, images and videos. Instead of talking to a character bot, write/read some fanfiction. Instead of using ai to draw a photo, teach yourself or use an irl refrence. Help fight against AI and stop it from taking what makes us all human- our own mind and artwork.
Harry is the kind of guy who is chaotic, sarcastic, and a little reckless,... Sam is same but 100 times worse (harry can be real mess tho)
their interactions would be mix of teasing, flirting, and occasional tense moments, dunno if its love or hatred, seems like bit of both
Harry always finds way to innocently touch Sam, like brushing against him, putting an arm around him, or leaning too close,... Sam secretly likes the attention, but won t ever admit it
their first kiss would be messy and impulsive, probably some cliché like Harry grabbing Sam while they are in middle of argument, Sam slapping him, then Harry just holding him close until Sam gives in lol
Sam would cook for harry but always leave him note saying something like "for dumbass" or worse, harry loves it... I think harry in general has unhealthy relationship with food, so Sam this can be read as Sam taking care of him
also Harry likes to draw little doodles on Sam s stuff or leaves sticky notes with jokes, while Sam counters with passive aggressive reminders
they would be VERY honest and open with each other tho, they wouldn t mind to speak about taboo topics together (like harrys eating disorder, sexual stuff, addictions,...) but talking about feelings? naaah
tbh before writing this I was like this is very odd ship... and now I ship them too 😭
The thought that the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie had the potential to introduce Nova as a character (Richard Rider or Sam Alexander) if they handled the Nova Corp in a different way…
Crazy how the backstory eps were like "ava nearly loses her mind as the man who killed her father tries to kill her" "danny returns home to never leave and take the throne but is poisoned by his brother" "sam rescues his space family and saves the earth from annihilation but nearly dies in the process" "luke finds his parents :D"
Literally!! It might be my biggest gripe about the show was that it truly did have so much angst potential and the ability to show ‘darker’ hard themes/lessons if it wanted to. And this would’ve built up the cast and even Peter to some extent even more by giving them more depth.
Cause some of them really don’t have much, I mean Ava was the first female superhero introduced and her characterization up to the end of the show just felt like “tiger powers, good at combat, very disciplined and controlled, academic weapon, some snarky comments, oh and she earned her amulet after her father was killed by a dangerous hunter and she wants revenge but she got it in that one episode so she’s content” like ugh she could be so much more complex if given the spotlight for more than an episode ykwim?? She’s not the only one I feel like is lacking attention but she’s the best example of it imo. (Like Flash has more meat as a character than herrr, which is understandable and no shade to flash but it hurts my soul)
Ugh I adore the ultimate team and I wish they weren’t sidelined so hard in the show, one episode for each was soo not enough imo esp since a couple things weren’t mentioned more than twice afterwords (like Luke’s potentially being changed a bit after his fight w Scorpio and his eyes having that whole ringed moment like I’m still curious as to what that was about)
hii how do you think Danny would act while developing a crush? like, what things would make him fall? i imagine him as a "fall harder" type
well this is really interesting question 🤔
I would say things that would make him fall in love are attention for sure, like when someone makes him feel seen, notices how he feels, and little things about him and accepts him how he is... he often feels out of place since he spended half of his life in kun lun and sometimes don't know how to adapt to normal life, so he really loves when someone makes him feel included...
another thing that would probably make him fall for someone is physical touch... Idk why I just think he is probably touch starved so when someone touches his shoulder or hand while talking he freaks out little bit but also he deep down enjoys it
while developing crush he goes through lot of phases, first one being not realizing it and mistaking it for admiration or friendship...
next is denial, he can't accept the truth, he knows according to monk teachings he shouldn't feel this way, and it feels really wrong, so he tries to make it pass as fast as he could (it doesn't work obviously)
while avoiding the person he likes and trying to make his feelings go away, he can be jealous when he sees his crush talking to someone else... he doesn't do anything about it tho, he just keep on trying to bury his feelings
then he finally accepts the truth but the next problem shows up, he doesn't know how to flirt or ask someone out so it takes a lot of time and courage until he finally does something about it... but I think it's more likely that other person has to do the first move bc Danny is bit hopeless when it comes to this things lol
but this is while he is still a teenager but I think as he grows older he becomes more confident about those things and his fear of asking someone out disappears completely
You know I realised something today. There’s a stark contrast between the animated versions of Spider-Man/ Peter Parker and the movie versions
Like we know Peter is hella awkward and he is kind. With or without the suit, his personality is mixed with confident and awkward. But ultimate Spider-Man is a completely different breed. Most of the time rude and hella arrogant. Ultimate Peter was so spiteful it’s hilarious. Spectacular Spider-Man wasn’t quite like Ultimate Spider-Man but there are some parts worth noting.
Peter in the movies is devoted to one girl. MJ or Gwen. Spectacular Peter?? Man had four women. MJ, Gwen, that one cheerleader and mf black cat. Ultimate Peter tho was hella gay for Harry. He rather spent time with him than the gang.
Spider-Man in the movies was quite humble. They knew not to push it. Just stay as Friendly Neighbourhood Spiderman. Minus Tom. He was pulled into the big leagues. He didn’t want it at first. Tom’s Spidey was hella awkward with Tony too at first. He acknowledges him as someone with high authority. Hell, he wouldn’t even think of himself standing next to Tony when suddenly the man himself appears in his apartment
Ultimate Spidey? Every time he sees Tony Stark, he is imagining himself as a higher ranked person if he is alongside Tony. But the fanboying stays atleast. You can tell he’s quite arrogant here.
Not to mention, he’s a spiteful man. I remember there was one scene he’s talking to Fury and Fury tells him not to be late. Then he’s all like “You don’t have to teach me something I already know!” or something like that. Then he storms out like a kid with a tantrum and the door closes after he leaves. Then Fury just says “Teenagers” and Peter with his enhanced hearing obviously heard that. The man opens the door, webs both sides and pulls it, smashing the door, just to prove Fury’s point of ‘Yes I’m the average teenager full of spite’
It’s hilarious.
(I just love ultimate Spider-Man. He’s so overhated.)
For all that is talked about, Legolas does not get nearly enough praise for how kind he is.
Joins the fellowship on a mission almost guaranteed to take all their lives in sacrifice without blinking. Never uses his title of prince and, in fact, doesn’t mention it at all. Takes part in the battle despite it having little effect on him, with his people sailing west and leaving the war-torn shores.
He rebuilds the rubbles of cities destroyed, makes the world better and filled with life, both flora and fauna. He stays beyond the calling of the sea, resisting the desperate urge engraved in his bones calling him to sail. He, with a gentle hand and a brave heart, handbuilds a ship and takes the risk of bringing Gimli along with him.
Richard Armitage really put his whole pussy into playing Thorin Oakenshield as being madly in love with Bilbo Baggins and I thank him for that everyday
finally read the hobbit. man these bitches gay in the book too? wdym thorin desperately had bilbo brought to his tent to make amends with him as his last words??? wdym they both had to say nice things to each other because they knew it was their last moments together??? and bilbo wept until his eyes were red and his voice was hoarse??? come on people I cried my eyes off they deserved so much better
“I can’t write without chatGPT” actually I believe you can. every writer writes by their own hands and brain before AI becomes a thing in our daily lives. and many, many writers continue to write by their own hands and brains even in the AI era. I mean sure, I get that AI can make things more convenient for us; we don’t have to do the works ourselves, we just give AI our prompts and sit back. but is some convenience really worth it when the art we get is robotmade with no soul in it? is some convenience really worth sacrificing the joy of writing and creating for? yes, writing can be extremely hard, but as a writer who never uses AI to write for her and has no interest in using AI to write for her, the joy of getting to write and create is worth the effort and difficulty of writing.
I believe you actually can write without chatGPT. you are either just used to the convenience of having robots create soulless works for you or are too scared to start writing by yourself. but as hard and scary as writing can be, trading the joy of getting to write and create for soulless robotmade works will always be such a shame.
remember; writing is art, and it takes practice to master your craft.
i will admit i have never been normal about thomas andre. sobbing crying wailing thinking about this man my love for him knows no bounds i can't stop yapping despite actively refraining...
you don't understand. this man isn't the big mighty lion standing on top of the world you see upon first glance — or at least, he wasn't always like that. he isn't some ruthless maniac, untouchable neither by law or the outside powers the gates has to offer like hwang dongsu.
and a stark contrast to hwang dongsu, thomas is just. a chill guy, minding his own business, doing his own thing. one might think it's cliche to have a character who has "absolute power" or desires it, but while it's thomas' entire motive and even defines his character, it's not. at the expense of the innocent masses. he's very much like a snake on that regard, only attacking when stepped on or threatened.
"he observed the effects of his power against the people who opposed him. [...] he crushed those who blocked his path. those who looked down on him were made to kneel."
it's only if you threaten the one thing he values the most — the power he holds.
his obsession with absolute/overwhelming power doesn't stem from the want to trample on others and do whatever the fuck he wants either, it was born out of a need to survive. him being born into a low class immigrant family is reason enough, but the fact that he was not only ostracized but bullied and attacked for simply existing — being different, "not one of us" — is the cherry on top. he's never had a community to call his own, a community that loves and accepts him, that he can claim he's a part of. this narrative is also strengthened in the game:
"that's the only thing that can protect me." HE'S TRYING TO PROTECT HIMSELF THE ONLY WAY HE KNOWS HOW!!!!
to my knowledge his relationship with his family isn't even mentioned — was the abuse just outside, or inside the house as well? were they happy, trying to make do with what they had, tired smiles on his parents' faces? or were they struggling, constant yelling in the house, him having to choose between listening to his parents shout at one another over seemingly miniscule and mundane things, sounds of glass shattering, and going out to listen to other kids jeer and jab at him and end up in a fist fight or two? we don't even know if his parents were together, if one of them was absent or passed, even.
to him, "absolute power" is having no openings, no weaknesses. "strength. authority. wealth. force." to have such power that no one would dare to question him, make snide comments about his family, his house, upbringing, his job — not just because they know he can single handedly crush their skull, but because he doesn't have any shortcomings. a nice house, prestigious job, having more money than he knows what to do with.
it has already been established he cares about his guild members so much — enough to give kamish's wrath to jinwoo as a sign of gratitude just for sparing their lives. his guild is the community he never had growing up. all the people who are happy to be in his presence, all the people who look up to him, he treasures. they're one of his own, his people. even hwang dongsu, since he insists on having a great funeral for him despite his misdeeds.
speaking of jinwoo, his initial dynamic with him is so interesting to me. thomas, upon arriving on the scene, asks — commands jinwoo to let hwang dongsu go, yet he's still mindful of the language barrier (mentioned in the light novel), and is intentional with the way he simplifies his language and pronounces things clearly. when his command is disregarded, his first response is "by any chance, do you not know who i am?" and i feel like this is a genuine question. intimidating, yes, but a question, a warning. an unspoken "if you don't know, I'll tell you. stand down." it's not a threat. he's giving jinwoo a chance to back out, because for all he knows, jinwoo is just a newly re-awakened s-rank. surely you'll stand down once you know who i am. he repeatedly gives jinwoo opportunities to back out — three times, to be specific. i say he's well within his ass whooping rights after that, and his sole motive to fight is; "i don't give a shit about hwang dongsu now. the only way to restore my pride... i'm going to kill that son of a bitch." LITERALLY THE BEHAVIOUR A WOUNDED ANIMAL.
AND YET. AND YET!!!!!!! THE FIRST THING HE SAYS AFTER THAT INTERNAL MONOLOGUE, EVEN AFTER TAKING A HIT FROM JINWOO IS; "it's not too late to admit your mistakes and back off. i'll at least spare your life if you do so now, and apologize." there is only one thing he wants at that point, for jinwoo to admit he's stronger and submit to his authority (again, all he knows about jinwoo, if he even knows that at all besides the fact that he's strong, is that he's a newly awakened s-rank). he doesn't need to kill him to make him submit, to make him not challenge his authority, so he isn't hung up on jinwoo's transgressions thus far, only if he'll mend the situation. he internally seeks validation, not plain bloodlust.
ALSO. fun fact for anyone who hasn't read the light novels, they did glaze jinwoo a bit too much in that fight in the manhwa. jinwoo actually struggles in this fight, and while thomas is slower, he can pull jinwoo in with his ability and pound him to paste if he gets a few hits in. jinwoo might be a mix of an assassin and mage, but he's certainly no tank, and he can't take too many blows from thomas in the first place.
"my overwhelming power is the only thing that makes me, me!" AND YET!!!!! the strongest man on the planet, whose entire identity is being the strongest, a national level hunter, isn't above admitting defeat when he knows he's lost. "it's over. i lost." he's not so prideful as to die on that hill for no reason. submitting to those who are stronger than you is how the world as he knows it works, and despite reigning at the top for quite some time, he still lives by those principles.
my cat. injured...
he's so. surprisingly soft and kind hearted too...
"i plan to have a great funeral for mister hwang. he has committed a sin that deserves death, but please let him have a funeral. oh, also. after my arm heals, i would like to have a meal with you. if you give my manager your contact information, i will contact you later."
and laura's comments about him;
"my master just showed his gratitude towards you for not harming his guild members. despite how he looks, he's actually quite a shy person. my master wants to give you a gift of gratitude. please tell me if there is anything you want. he is... very competitive, so he gets uneasy when he feels like he owes someone a favor. anything would do, so could you please tell me something?"
also adding this panel here because i can. he's so. maine coon coded there. evil hehe fluffy cat looking. my scrunkly.
