Something about Rick in the new series trailer is so… soft? Idk if I’m over-analysing but,
his voice is softer? like, the tone is softer? & he didn’t take any digs at anyone or say anything nasty, ya know?
Also the family adventures! Working together!!
I have a feeling that since the s4 finale, when he realised how shitty he was and almost losing his family, he’s working on being better. being kinder. being softer.
every time i start smth new im always like haha i wont get attached to the character who acts tough but is actually very sensitive and has many issues! every time guess what happens
Oh Stanley, you didn’t just activate the controls, did you? After they kept you enslaved all these years, you go and you try to take control of the machine for yourself, is that what you wanted? Control? Oh… Stanley. I applaud your effort, I really do, but you need to understand; there’s only so much that machine can do. You were supposed to let it go, turn the controls off, and leave. If you want to throw my story off track, you’re going to have to do much better than that. I’m afraid you don’t have nearly the power you think you do; for example, and I believe you’ll find this pertinent: Stanley suddenly realized that he had just initiated the network’s emergency detonation system. In the event that this machine is activated without proper DNA identification, nuclear detonators are set to explode, eliminating the entire complex. How long until detonation, then? Hmm… let’s say, um… two minutes.
Ah, now this is making things a little more fun, isn’t it, Stanley? It’s your time to shine! You are the star! It’s your story now; shape it to your heart’s desires. Ooh, this is much better than what I had in mind! What a shame we have so little time left to enjoy it. Mere moments until the bomb goes off, but what precious moment each one of them is! More time to talk about you, about me, where we’re going, what all this means… I barely know where to start! What’s that? You’d like to know where your co-workers are? A moment of solace before you’re obliterated? Alright. I’m in a good mood, and you’re going to die anyway. I’ll tell you exactly what happened to them: I erased them. I turned off the machine; I set you free.
Of course, that was merely in this instance of the story. Sometimes when I tell it, I simply let you sit there in your office forever, pushing buttons endlessly and then dying alone. Other times, I let the office sink into the ground, swallowing everyone inside; or I let it burn to a crisp. I have to say this, though, this version of events has been rather amusing. Watching you try to make sense of everything and take back the control wrested away from you… it’s quite rich. I almost hate to see it go! But I’m sure whatever I come up with on the next go around will be even better.
My goodness! Only thirty four seconds left… but I’m enjoying this so much! You know what? To hell with it. I’m going to put some extra time on the clock; why not! Those are precious additional seconds, Stanley. Time doesn’t grow on trees!
Oh, dear me, what’s the matter, Stanley? Is it that you have no idea where you’re going or what you’re supposed to be doing right now? Or did you just assume when you saw that timer that something in this room was capable of turning it off? I mean, look at you, running from button to button, screen to screen, clicking on every little thing in this room! These numbered buttons! No! These colored ones! Or maybe this big, red button! Or this door! Everything! Anything! Something here will save me! Why would you think that, Stanley? That this video game can be beaten, won, solved? Do you have any idea what your purpose in this place is? Hahaha, heh, Stanley… you’re in for quite a disappointment.
But here’s a spoiler for you: that timer isn’t a catalyst to keep the action moving along. It’s just seconds ticking away to your death. You’re only still playing instead of watching a cutscene because I want to watch you for every moment that you’re powerless, to see you made humble.
This is not a challenge. It’s a tragedy. You wanted to control this world; that’s fine. But I’m going to destroy it first, so you can’t. Take a look at the clock, Stanley. That’s thirty seconds you have left to struggle. Thirty seconds until a big boom, and then nothing. No ending here, just you being blown to pieces. Will you cling desperately to your frail life, or will you let it go peacefully? Another choice! Make it count. Or don’t. It’s all the same to me. All a part of the joke.
And believe me, I will be laughing at every second of your inevitable life, from the moment we fade in until the moment I say: Happily Ever-
I was asked to put some severitus up on my redbubble, so this is an experiment if it will get copyright striked or not (I have tried before and all of my HP fanart got taken down, maybe this time I was clever enough to disguise it as not fanart lol)
hate that people must always think 2 hard about jane eyre…yes men are evil, yes mr rochester is a terrible person, yes jane eyre is still the greatest love story of all time, all these things can be true
i came up w the dumbest idea for an oc but then had nothing i could use her for so i guess i have a bnha oc now (extremely jealous of her if im being honest)
couldn’t resist animating her in action, please witness her
Quirk: Speedpaint - when activated allows her to process information at speeds rivaling those of computers with movement speed to match (but like, SPECIFICALLY wrt art lol) - use of her quirk takes up energy equal to the amount it would take to perform these tasks normally; the faster she moves the more energy it eats up / the less time she can maintain it - if she uses it for too long / goes past her energy limit she can pass out from exhaustion, hunger, dehydration, or a combination of all three; always makes sure to eat/drink/sleep sufficiently before using her quirk to avoid this - tends to work on three main speeds: - 16x speed: relaxed, knows she can take her time. can maintain for abt 6hr real time - 32x speed: standard; not in any particular rush, just a normal day’s work. can maintain for abt 3hr real time - 64x speed: emergency. can maintain for abt 1hr 30min real time
HANDWRITTEN TEXT, FROM TOP TO BOTTOM:
low-lidded eyes but NO dark circles; she’s tired from her quirk but always makes sure she gets enough sleep so her quirk can like, work.
when using quirk
crocs & socks
wears dark colored socks so nobody can see how dirty they are from being reused all week before being washed lol
-
IMAGE 2
- v health conscious; makes sure to always have a balanced diet w/ enough nutrients to supplement her quirk
- night owl but keeps to a strict sleep schedule; 9 hrs minimum, goes to bed no later than 3am & wakes up no later than 12pm (room has blackout curtains to ensure deep, uninterrupted sleep)
does yoga every morning when planning to draw to loosen up & relax muscles/body; helps prevent stiffness & soreness after using her quirk

HANDWRITTEN TEXT, FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
fell asleep & drew on her face
freshly completed manuscripts
wears comfortable, loose clothing
TEXT ON THE RIGHT:
- author of like 3 mangas at once (has a writer for 1 of them so all she has to do is draw) - 1 story manga, 1 autobiographical gag web manga, & 1 shounen manga written by someone else & drawn by her - also sometimes helps out mangaka friends who are coming up on tight deadlines & need all the help they can get - uses her quirk to get work done quickly but she also enjoys drawing normally from time to time; finds it relaxing, a nice change of pace literally lol - after a good long day of work she is typically v tired and will spend the rest of the day either sleeping or relaxing.
- quirk works for the actual concepting, storyboarding and drawing of the manga but not for planning out the story; she has to do the writing phase at normal speed (this also applies to typing out sound effects & the dialogue in speech bubbles)
Stranger Things spoilers ahead but I need to talk about Jonathan Byers.
Jonathan, who took it upon himself to organize his baby brother’s funeral because his mother wasn’t doing it.
Jonathan, who dropped everything to *save* Will when he was presented with evidence that he wasn’t dead.
Jonathan, who could not physically bear to watch Will in pain even if it was necessary to free him from the mindflayer, and had to turn away so he didn’t have to see him suffer.
Jonathan, who never treated Will like he was annoying like Mike and Nancy or Lucas and Erica.
Jonathan, who truly *saw* how Will was acting around Mike and knew what it meant.
Jonathan, who admitted he had been distant and chose to be the one to reach across the distance and tell Will he would always love him no matter what.
Jonathan, who gave Will acceptance and reassurance without asking anything of him.
Jonathan, who realized in 1986 that his baby brother was queer and made sure he knew he was explicitly supported without outing him before he was ready.
