Page 1 of a comic featuring Goro Akechi and Akira Kurusu/Joker from Persona 5 royal. They're in Penguin Sniper, playing darts. 
Panel 1: Akira prepares to throw a dart while Akechi watches. Akechi says: "I do not understand you."
Panel 2: Akira throws the dart and hits a bullseye, replying: "... Okay."
Panel 3: Akira looks back at Akechi, who's still watching him closely, then asks: "Where's this coming from?"
Page 2. 
Panel 1: Some shots of a dartboard and a pool table, framing profile shots of Akechi and Akira as they talk. Akechi motions between the both of them and states: "This."
Panel 2: Akechi frowns and points towards himself, saying: "Your incessant invitations to darts and drinks with me." 
Panel 3: Akira rolls his eyes, but Akechi walks on, continuing his monologue and waving his hand around for effect: "The more I think about it the less sense it makes. There can't be any advantage to be attained from it, and yet--"
Page 3. The setting has changed, and they're now in Jazz Jin, sitting across from each other and drinking bright red mocktails. 
Panel 1: Akira takes a sip from his drink and responds, casually: "Not everything is a strategic choice, detective."
Panel 2: Akechi scoffs: "Hah. Nonsense."
Panel 3: He stirs his drink with a straw and then begins: "Here's the thing, Joker."
Panel 4: Leaning over a little, Akechi stares Akira down, saying: "I've long since learned not to underestimate you."
Panel 5: Close up shots of their eyes. Akechi is frowning, staring rather intensely, while Akira looks back blankly. Akechi continues: "If I know anything, is that you're not completely brainless. So tell me. Why are you doing this?"
Page 4. The scene has changed yet again, and they're now in Leblanc, still sitting across from each other, but now playing a match of chess. Akira has the black pieces, and Akechi has the white ones. There are very few pieces left on the board-- it's nearing the end of the game.
Panel 1: Akira, looking tired and a little impatient, leans his head against his hand and picks up his queen piece, saying: "Akechi... We're friends."
Panel 2: He puts Akechi in check while looking off to the side, continuing: "This is what friends do, they spend time together. I know this might be new to you, but--"
Panel 3: Akechi, seeing his move and hearing his words, widens his eyes in outrage. 
Panel 4: Akechi quickly moves to pull one of his pieces, a rook, backwards across the board.
Panel 5: He stands up, looming over the board where it's shown that he's put Akira into checkmate, as Akira looks surprised. Akechi says: "Do not try to make this about me. We are talking about you."
Page 5. They're now in Mementos. Akira looks visibly injured, with several bruises peppering his face, while Akechi looks relatively unscathed. 
Panel 1: Akechi swings his sword at Akira, exclaiming: "You're human, no matter how much everyone thinks of you as a fucking saint!"
Panel 2: Akira, wide-eyed, braces himself, getting the sleeve of his jacket slashed.
Panel 3: Akechi points his sword accusatorily at Akira, who's recoiling from the previous attack by sliding backwards and away from him. He continues: "There's no way you do everything you do just for the benefit of other people!"
Panel 4: Akechi, looking furious, prepares for another attack. He shouts: "There has to be an ulterior motive, something you're gaining from this!"
Page 6. 
Panel 1: Akechi runs towards Akira, ready to swing again.
Panel 2: Akira holds his hands out in front of him as if to ask him to stop, as Akechi yells: "SO--"
Panel 3: Akechi jumps in the air and swings at Akira, knocking him backward. He continues: "-- WHAT--"
Panel 4: A close up shot of Akira's wide eyed expression.
Panel 5: Akira hits the floor, falling on his back.
Panel 5: Akira has fallen prone, and Akechi has pinned him down and put the tip of his sword right against his throat. He finishes: "--IS IT?!"
Page 7. 
Panel 1: A shot of the background, of the chained door in Mementos they were fighting in front of. Akira's portrait is seen on the side with dialogue options next to it, resembling the game. One says "I don't understand.", another "That's a sad way to think", and the third "Should I apply for sainthood?". The second option appears to be selected.
Panel 2: The same shot of the background, now coloured entirely in deep shades of red.
Panel 3: The same shot of the background, but now fading into black. There are barely visible blood splatters against the bottom of the door.
Panel 4: The scene has changed to Akira's room, the attic above Leblanc. The shot lingers on an old CRT TV sitting atop a table, showing an old fighting game. One of the characters is on the ground on his back, his health depleted to zero, while another stands next to him, posing victorious. "PLAYER 2 WINS!" Is overlaid on top of them.
Page 8. They're in Akira's room, the attic above Leblanc, backlit by the sunset. Akira has bandages on his face in the same places as his injuries from the previous scene.
Panel 1: Akechi looks unamused, holding one of the controllers in his hand. Offscreen, Akira hesitates: "I..."
Panel 2: A shot of the games console. Akechi puts his controller down next to it. Akira says: "I guess I've always kind of felt like..."
Panel 3: The TV screen, now having dimmed to black, shows a hazy reflection of Akira on it, who carries on: "Like I have no real say over the things I want or need."
Panel 4: A shot from directly behind Akira, showing the back of his head, as he cowers a little in his chair. He continues: "Like they're always being defined by something outside of me."
Page 9. 
Panel 1: Akira looks down, while Akechi continues to stare at him as he speaks: "But... caring about you..."
Panel 2: A shot of Akira's hands as he grips the controller, saying: "that feels like a choice that I made."
Panel 3: Akira finally turns to look at Akechi, smiling a little: "Being around you reminds me of that."
Panel 4: A close up of Akechi's eyes, not visibly expressing any emotion.
Panel 5: A shot from downstairs in Leblanc. Sumire, Futaba, and Haru are sitting together in a booth, Haru and Sumire are laughing at something Futaba is saying. Offscreen, Akira continues: "It makes me feel like an actual person."
Panel 6: Another shot from Leblanc. Ryuji, Yusuke, Ann and Morgana are sitting together at the counter. Yusuke and Ann are attempting to drink coffee while Ryuji and Morgana squabble with each other. Akira finishes saying: "Like I'm actually alive, like... like everyone else is."
Page 10. They're back in Penguin Sniper, still playing darts. 
Panel 1: Akira rubs at the back of his neck, looking a little awkward. Hesitantly, he asks: "Does that make any sense?"
Panel 2: Akechi looks on, presumably at the dartboard, with a blank expression on his face. 
Panel 3: He prepares to take the shot, and then finally answers: "... No."
Panel 4: A close up shot of the dartboard. The dart Akechi threw has just missed the bullseye, lodging itself at a place worth only 1 point. Akechi, offscreen, concludes: "Not at all."

imagine being 17, right at that pivotal age where everything feels like it’s finally starting to make sense, but also falling apart all at once. you’re just beginning to grasp who you are and what you want out of life. it’s that strange in-between stage where you’re technically capable of doing adult things—getting a license, figuring out uni, maybe even facing your first real heartbreak—but there’s still a part of you that desperately wants your dad to be there.

now, imagine waking up and realizing that all of that has been stolen from you. Jason didn’t just lose his life—he lost the chance to go through those messy years. those moments where you feel both too big for your skin and too small for the world, where one minute you’re ready to take on everything and the next you’re drowning in self-doubt.

the right to choose his path— that was taken from him in the most brutal way possible.

and that’s what makes the story so tragic. it’s not just about the physical violence or the trauma of resurrection. it’s about missing that crucial time in life when you’re supposed to be figuring out who you are. he never got to experience that liminal space between adolescence and adulthood, where you’re allowed to falter and find your footing.

No, instead, he got the anger, confusion, and betrayal all amplified because he's been thrust into an adulthood that was never really his choice. he was robbed of that transition, and that loss is profound.

Jason Todd’s tragedy isn’t just that he died so young—it’s that he lost the opportunity to live. It’s the haunting realization that he was denied the right to become his own person, and that’s something you can't ever get back.

What Bruce and Jason both mourned, was not who he used to be but who he could have been.

Something about the symbolism of Omega specifically choosing Lula and Tech’s goggles for the Archium. It’s Lula because Omega is growing up, but her childhood is still precious to her. It’s Tech’s goggles because you can keep moving forward and let go of the overwhelming grief without forgetting those you’ve loved and lost.

Neutral endings and Papyrus... it's so strange how they make him react to all the tragedy that happens. He most likely has an idea of what happened to his friends, but he's still not sure, so he can't fully react to his friends being dead, unlike every other main character who have very strong reactions of their loved ones being dead. Why is that? Why do they always keep the whole truth hidden from Papyrus? It's so sad that even in moments like these people aren't telling him stuff

But I have also been thinking... Papyrus uses to word 'disappear' a lot. Papyrus obviously knows about death, he knows Undyne wants to kill you in multiple occasions and in one neutral ending he is told that you have killed people

But whenever there is someone he knows who is no longer there and nobody tells him what happened, he simply says that they have 'dissapeared'

Why is that? Maybe because someone important to Papyrus one day was no longer with him, but he didn't die, he simply disappeared

an old tmc comic i started all the way back in december and never finished. its about adam's perspective on his friendship with jonah (this made a bit after vol 4, way before the diary entries). this was my first time attempting a comic, so it's a bit all over the place, but it was a fun experiment :]

asocial-skye - asocial-skye

well now i’m thinking about ahsoka and luke.

what do you do when you meet your brother’s son? the one who saved him — the one who succeeded where you failed. you said ‘i won’t leave you’; he said ‘i won’t leave you’. only one works. your brother comes home only once, and it’s not to you. of course it’s not to you. you left first. isn’t it your punishment? you left first and you spend the rest of your life trying to come back but of course you never can, isn’t that the first thing you learn about leaving home? it’s never the same again.

your brother comes home for the son he doesn’t even know. your brother would’ve killed you where you stood. how the fuck are you supposed to cope with that?

Well, What Should I Say... Another Sirius Black Fan Art (you Might Have Guessed By Now, Who My All-time

Well, what should I say... Another Sirius Black fan art (you might have guessed by now, who my all-time favourite fictional character is), and again it is very dark. I love to paint emotional works, I want to express strong feelings, especially very negative ones. I am a really happy happy person by now, but I also had a dark time, so I guess these artworks are kind of a therapy for me. Well yeah, that’s it, I hope you still enjoy my artworks :)

I Wanted To Make A QUICK Edit Out Of The Most Recent Webtoons Rerelease Of Check, Please!, So I Asked
I Wanted To Make A QUICK Edit Out Of The Most Recent Webtoons Rerelease Of Check, Please!, So I Asked
I Wanted To Make A QUICK Edit Out Of The Most Recent Webtoons Rerelease Of Check, Please!, So I Asked

I wanted to make a QUICK edit out of the most recent webtoons rerelease of Check, Please!, so I asked @montrealmadison for a song. She gave me mitski's First Love / Late Spring.

Then I thought about an 18-year old Bittle trying desperately to act older than his age to fit in with the hockey team he isn't sure he feels like he belongs on, THE TEAM HE WANTS TO QUIT, but relies on to pay for college and doesn't want to disappoint his dad. There's Bitty's pressure, and we see Jack really start to pressure him here, immediately followed by how the justification for Jack's intensity is Bad Bob ™. Then I blacked out for two hours and woke up in a sweaty haze and this was open on my canva.

TLDR: don't listen to mitski at 11pm at the end of a long work week and think about y1 bitty and jack or you'll cry. 👍🏻
