Hey remember that time in 1.09 when Merlin went to take out wraith Tristan like “oh this’ll be SO discreet” because it was nighttime and then immediately proceeded to publicly light him up like a fucking Guy Fawkes Day effigy with a trail of fire leading directly back to him

#listen #tell me i’m wrong #a horde of guards like 10ft away are currently paying up their bets for #1) how long it would take merlin to attack the knight with magic #2) what kind of magic he would use #and 3) how fucking obvious it would be #the guards from that lying in the grass pic have made absolute BANK and are now planning an extravagant wedding #gaius is roasting marshmallows on a flaming tristan to stress eat #merlin can’t wait to tell hunith how discreet he’s being in camelot #arthur wakes to zero brain cells and one wedding invitation from the guards #just a normal day in camelot #in a land of myth #and a time of dumbassery #excalibur #merlin #bbc merlin

the difference between these two 🥺 both??

funny story though. my roommate is still taking food but my memory is so bad when it comes to things i don’t eat myself (adhd)

when i talk to friends and family about the situation the first thing they ask is, “are you sure you’re not sleep eating?” which is adorable. they wanna believe, even if for a second, that maybe i’m not truly at fault for making myself into such a cow 🥺 i get it bc im getting very fat even with the thievery but at the same time. im literally being gaslit

#by my roommate #every time j bring smthn up she’s like ‘oh??? that’s crazy??? wow’ #snd she’s a bad liar but i’m such a pushover bc #i have had the fridge so filled with food i look like such a pig i can’t blame her #it’s FINE #but how cute. i wanna start sleep eating 🥺 #funnel me in my sleep? make me confused as to how i’m gaining so fast? #i wanna ask someone why i’m having such a hard time moving around when im not eating a lot more #cuddle up to me n change the subject if i bring up how fast we ran out of heavy cream this time #<3 #talk #ask #does this count for that tag? #what if my feeder gaslit me. in a cute sexy oh u cow kind of way #i swear the funnel moves after each night and i wake so full but obviously im just forgetting where we put it each day #it’s getting hard to fit through the doorway #obviously i’ve just been lazier than normal. no way im getting that fat #we knew i’d have mobility problems but so early on? i just need to get out #it’s not because he’s started to pump more calories into me anyway he can

for something as trivial and simple those feelings sure are hard to get rid of

also made a gif a version for fun + alt version with no tears under the cut

the gif is in very low resolution...this is a feature (i could make it bigger but that would require saving each frame individually and than glueing it all together. also i feel like low resolution suits it better. aesthetically and fits the mood)

[theshadowrealmitself]

Once again thinking about Human who was adopted by a Vulcan/Romulan couple, my current thoughts about it:

The Vulcan parent: Seems controlling and strict to outsiders, has everything of the Human’s life planned out, wanted them to have an arranged marriage even tho Humans don’t go through pon farr

Meanwhile, in reality, that’s their solution to handling the Human’s anxiety (cause y’all just know this is another traumatized oc), the idea is that if they plan everything out for them in advance then there’s nothing for them to be anxious about, and if they arrange a marriage then they know that their kid isn’t gonna end up with a creep (found dramas and stuff while researching Human culture for their child)

The Romulan parent: Seems more laidback to outsiders, was against an arranged marriage and any other life planning for their Human kid, comes across like they just really support choosing your own destiny, but that’s actually their theory on handling the Human’s anxiety, they think if the Human keeps getting pushed to do more and more stuff, then they’ll “see there’s nothing to be anxious about” and it’ll help them long term, wants their kid to be able to handle themself in case anything happens to their parents

The Human: A young adult by now who gives off no indication on having been raised by a Vulcan and a Romulan if you aren’t paying close attention, more anxious than the average person, benefits from both parents’ interference (some stuff is good to avoid and some stuff does get better if you go out and do it)

#star trek #humans #Romulans #Vulcans #real quick post before I pass out because I will wake up and forget to make this if I don’t #there’s just something funny to me about two alien parents and they’re almost normal by human standards Human kid #balanced each other out pretty well good job

the significance of hannibal and will’s sitting positions in hannibal

hannibal is a show that relies heavily on symbolism. it’s used to express what the character’s don’t - particularly hannibal and will, who tend to speak in riddles about their emotions. if you look closely, you can see how that the way they sit with each other is intentional!

let me show you what I mean

opposite one another

the way that hannibal and will’s relationship begins is through therapy. therefore it’s no surprise that one of their main motifs is their chairs being opposite each other (remember hannibal’s line about the chairs holding all of their conversations).

several things to note about this sitting position

• they are facing each other, so there is some level of intimacy. they look into each other’s faces

• yet this is at a comfortable distance. while their friendship develops through sitting opposite each other and having conversations, this is a professional position and it allows some emotional distance

• they are positioned equally

when will imagines speaking to hannibal in season 3 about his past, he imagines them in this position.

because will feels most comfortable talking to hannibal in this position. especially after the bloody aftermath of mizumono, this position provides will with a calm and familiar space to talk to hannibal in

the last time we see hannibal and will sitting facing each other is before hannibal surrenders. this is the symbolic “end” of the polite distance between them. no longer can they sit and have conversations - indeed in the second part of season 3 speak through a prison cell. yes they are facing each other, but they are always standing up. that level of familiarity is gone.

one up and one down

if being opposite each other represents equality, then having one sitting down and one standing up represents a lack of equality.

for most of the series, hannibal is predominantly the one standing. he leans over will when he is vulnerable, physically crowding his space.

in mizumono, hannibal strips will of power completely. both physically by hurting him, and emotionally by killing abigail. he is on the floor while hannibal stands above him, a malevolent god

in season 3, after chiyoh shoots will, will is on the chair sitting and hannibal isn’t. however, unlike in the previously mentioned scenes, hannibal crouches down to his level.

this is because although hannibal wants to be in control, he is also wounded. the power dynamic has started to shift, though ultimately hannibal is still in control

until the final episode, where will turns this motif on its head. he stands over a wounded hannibal and gloats.

the power dynamic has been completely subverted. hannibal is now vulnerable to will- meanwhile, will has regained control and has the freedom to choose what happens next

beside each other

the last position is beside each other. it’s only in the second half of season 2 that we start to see hannibal and will next to, rather than opposite, each other.

what is important about this position is that it is intimate. they are physically close. in emotionally vulnerable moments, we see them like this, particularly in dolce.

I also think sitting next to someone is more intimate because you can speak without looking at them - you might be more inclined to be truthful. when you do choose to look at someone beside you, you are closer to them so the moment is more intimate. you can see every detail on their face

their true peace and happiness is obviously symbolised by the two of them sitting beside each other in their shared memory palace

now what I want to add about this position is that we see them from behind. look at the screenshots - it’s like we’re looking in on a private moment. they are shutting out the rest of the world.

I hope this made sense!

jayfeather and moleflight toxic yaoi…

Oh wow there's not even anything in the Molejay tag. Is this pair so rare it's not been done yet?

Jayfeather and Moleflight, toxic yaoi, "I named myself after the time I trounced your angelic ass" and "I've personally assigned my entire afterlife to trying to prevent you from causing chaos." They want to kiss each other sooo bad it makes them look stupid. The rituals, they are so intricate.

#Molejay #Better bones au #I'm actually not much of a Jayfeather shipper normally #I know a lot of people who really like exploring all of his potential romances but I'm only into Jaypoppy #And this specific version of Molejay #Jay and Kestrel I adore as like... ''Jay has changed my life and given me the power to question authority'' #Jay and Briar I just love as besties #I actually *hate* him and Half as a ship it's legitimately one of my NOTPs #Jay just sits with me as the sort of guy who doesn't feel romantic attraction very often and it ranks low on his list of priorities #He's too busy being a menace #Babe wake up new sexuality on the aroace spectrum just dropped. Hes Irritatoromantic #He only feels attraction based on how annoying it would be to fall in love with the person lmaooo #QPR? No. He is in a CPR. Cahoots Platonic Relationship. #Funny that the only two Jay ships that do anything for me are for two cats who would have died in the same epidemic #Bone babble

i've been doing a bunch of tartarus runs in reload lately, and it got me thinking about how i miss certain ways FES's clunky gameplay can characterize minato… (ramble about the great clock mechanic + leveling up party members in reload vs fes under the cut)

when i got to yabbashah block in tartarus (block 3), i remember commending the developers for adding the great clock mechanic. it's a much more convenient way to keep party members at the protagonist's level- so when you think about p3 from the perspective of trying to make it easier for people to play, the mechanic succeeds in this respect.

but now that i'm in adamah block, and that i've done lots of my once-a-month tartarus runs… i think that i got a little too dependent on it, and the way that i played through reload feels like a vastly different experience from how i played FES.

in reload, my party's levels are very lopsided. minato, yukari, akihiko, mitsuru, and fuuka are all level 90+, meanwhile junpei and aigis are at level 79, and then… poor ken and koromaru are at 71 and 64 respectively. (i never got to have a great clock for them…)

meanwhile, in FES, my party's levels were much more evenly distributed and were at least level 90. i did all of this manually for every monthly tartarus run because i enjoyed having options available for the taratarus guardians and monthly operations.

with how i perceive minato, i feel that the way i played FES feels more in-line with his character than me dawdling around waiting for the great clocks in reload.

FES's gameplay loop left me with the very strong impression that minato has to work twice as hard as everyone else in SEES does. it makes sense because, yeah, he's the leader, but something about having minato run through tartarus multiple times with different groups of people just to make sure that they are adequately prepared speaks volumes about his character, to me.

and while the tired mechanic is present in reload to some degree, most notably with allowing you to freely raise your courage stat when you visit edogawa after school… the tiredness system doesn't hit the same way that FES does, i think.

the way your party members in FES will call it quits when they return to the entrance floor at tartarus when they're tired, versus minato, in spite of all his tiredness and sickness, still pushes through tartarus because it's his responsibility…. idk!!! i miss that! i feel like this really hammers home the difference between minato and the rest of SEES, how minato doesn't really see himself as a human with needs worth respecting as long as he's useful to someone.

i don't think that tartarus being tedious (in FES especially) is not what most people would describe as fun, and i can respect people thinking it's a slog. but, regardless of how it feels to play, it doesn't change that FES's gameplay loop is a fundamental building block in how i perceive minato…

of course, i do recognize that you can just opt to NOT use the great clock in reload (and it's great when players are offered the choice to not partake in mechanics)! i definitely think that if someone really wanted to, they could manually level up party members, but i do feel that kind of playstyle isn't necessarily "incentivized" to the type of people who are into playing games for Having a Good Time. it's kind of like… "why would you do that when there's a much more convenient option available to you."

in any case! despite my woes, i do want to emphasize that i'm glad that reload has a much more smoother gameplay loop than the original P3 did, because it does make the game more accessible to people. having played both FES and reload, it feels very strongly apparent to me how the core gameplay formula of persona has really been refined in the past 18 years (to think og p3 was 2006 and reload is 2024.. time flies!). and reload has made revisiting a story that i love so dearly much, much easier because the gameplay just bops!

at the same time, due to my "i miss characterization informed by weird and dated FES gameplay quirks" woes, i still think that playing FES is worthwhile. (really, i feel this way about all iterations of p3! i think it's worthwhile to see what each version and side media has to say even if it doesn't Land™ for you.) but i also understand why people wouldn't want to play it, so i will keep writing posts about things i liked from FES's gameplay because i'm still very fond of FES (especially in respects to minato. these mechanics are so telling about him!!!) 💪

#lizzy speaks #persona 3 #persona 3 reload #<- specifically mentions of mechanics. no added story content just tartarus talk #minato arisato #today on lizz life: lizz wakes up THINKING about minato for the NTH time and is compelled to write a tumblr post about it #tartarus in reload is excellent looking and fun but i keep thinking about what i liked about how FES characterizes minato so #here i am... LOL... with my 790 or so word ramble... im so normal about the blue boy #i needed to get my feelings out there somewhere i just could not stop thinking about HIM HE IS IN MY BRAIN 24/7 #me playing reload last night like 'minato would not fucking wait for a great clock to make sure that SEES is adequately prepared.' #and yet my sloth brain awaits the great clock... LOL gameplay convenience is not lost on me #i'm stuck in tartarus rn im grinding rubies and stuff trying to get equipment so i can throw hands with elizabeth its going to be fun #im still not done with this game i continue to be haunted by tartarus i fucking love that tower unironically #uh usually id ramble more in tags but. go read my post!! because i like analyzing FES gameplay mechanics!! i am full of passion and love!
