THE LAST IMMORTAL 神隐(2023) - EP. 14 Dir. Chan Ka Lam

#the last immortal #zhao lusi #wang anyu #cdrama #mygif #cdramaedit #cdramasource #tli #im not even caught up to this point yet it just rly got me even in a clip? #i loved this scene 😔 esp. with the ost like it really captured the sweetness and innocence of young first love #like something abt young love...... its at its purest form unsullied by external forces and you only experience it in this state once #b4 growing up and getting jaded and cynical abt relationshps and the world and i feel like a world weary old person #looking at their youth and innocence like i just want it all to work out for these kids i hope their hearts don't break too much #i want this to last a little longer for them i want them to live in this bubble a little longer b4 they get bulldozed by the world #its sweet tinged with a bit of sadness she's all dressed up to marry him. gathers flowers along the way with- #excitement and expectancy. lovingly puts a flower on him to match hers with his promise of forever in mind thinking its not far while he ha #no memory of his promise or his feelings towards her #ost so good and hits a weak spot of mine- singing abt wanting to experience just the ordinary everyday things with the person you love #don't you wish that's all love could and should be?

I wanna do a Faerie au, but with Reader as the fae who lures/tempts one of the guys from 141 and steals them away.

#tho it'd be so hard to pull it off #cuz i think none of them would really fall for it easily #i know fanon portrays soap as this naive little kid #and some of them don't portray gaz at all #their youthness might make them more susceptible to faes trying to capture them etc #but I think Gaz n Soap will be able to sense something's off #even tho they won't be able to pinpoint out what is it that's wrong #price is probably a seasoned hunter and can see a trap laid out when there is one #ghost would require a lot of treachery and slickness in order to get him under your thumb #this is probably gonna end up in my personal WIP hell as I don't know how to bring this to life yet #fae!au #fae au #fae!reader #141 x reader #kyle gaz garrick #john soap mactavish #captain john price #simon ghost riley #char.gaz #char.price #char.soap #char.ghost #char.fae reader #celena.rambles

The August, '56 Florida tour was wild! ❤️‍🔥✨

Elvis photographed by Bob Moreland at the Fort Homer W. Hesterly Armory in Tampa, FL, on Sunday, August 5, 1956.

Elvis photographed by Bruce (or Harry as the newspaper reads?) Roberts during a performance at the Armory in Tampa, FL, August 5, 1956 (One of my favorite pictures of EP ever!).

Tampa Tribune, August 12, 1956 - Jacksonville, Florida, 1956

Elvis heading onstage at the Fort Homer W. Hesterly Armory, Tampa, FL - Aug. 5, 1956 Photo by Bob Moreland.

Look at the girl at the front row all flustered, trying to touch him. The desperation in her eyes, I can almost hear the screams/cries!

Last but not least, just because he's cute, look Elvis at the same venue, just a little more than a year previously. He's outside Fort Homer W. Hesterly Armory, Tampa, FL May 8, 1955.

There's these two moments where I wish I could attend an Elvis concert the most: anywhere/anytime in '72 and August, '56 in Florida. 🥹 Being born 18 years after he was no longer walking on this Earth, I feel so unlucky when I look at those pictures. I would really trade my youth for one single moment watching Elvis, even if "only" onstage for 30-50 minutes. Lucky the ones who got to experience this.

#trade my youth for a moment with you #this earth is no longer fun living in anyway #this Christmas i wished being a girl in the 50's US #just for a day... or 7 years. Then I would travel to late 60s and live each day 'til the first half of the 70's... over and over again. #Elvis and all his grandiosity #oh goodness #look at him! #i almost pass out just with the picture #sad about being born late #i would definitely be one of those screaming girls #imagine how it felt being there in the audience #no wonder parents worried haha #elvis presley #elvis the king #elvis fans #elvis fandom #50s elvis #elvis history #the wildness captured in his body language

Best character surnamed: Tao

Come and vote for the best characters with the same surname!*

What does best mean? It's up to you! Whether you love them, are intrigued by their characters, love to hate them, or they're your '2 second blorbos whose personality you made up wholesale', these are all reasons for you to vote for your favs!

*note, the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often there will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.

Propaganda is very welcome! If I’ve forgotten anyone, let me know in the notes.

This is part of a larger series of ‘best character with X surname’ polls’. The overview with ongoing polls, winners, and future polls can be found here

EDIT: Silent Reading is the original novel that Justice in the Dark was based on and I believe that Tao Ran and Tao Ze are therefore alternate versions of each other

#poll #princess agents #legend of hua mulan #song of youth #justice in the dark #guide to capturing a black lotus #world of cultivation #romance of a twin flower #a date with the future #wonderland of love #silent reading #the king’s avatar

if you think you wasted your teens NOT being wild and dumb there’s good news—you can do wild and dumb shit at any age! go skinny dipping. howl at the moon. loiter in parking lots. (just make sure you have tums and acetaminophen on you)

#i used to think i wasted my teens being weird and not going to parties #so i made up for it later #but looking back i was still a feral teenager #swimming in my underwear going to laser tag in my homecoming dress playing capture the flag in the woods at night #these are things i would still do now #youth isn’t the only time for tomfoolery!! you have so much time ahead of uou!!!! #ok to rb

IMAGE DESCRIPTION UNDER THE CUT.

A new task force! Admittedly when we first discussed this, we were a bit upset, knowing how passionate we were to start up a new media literacy workshop for the summer. But upon further thought, honest conversations like these need to happen in every organization, ones where we admit our current capabilities and limitations so as to best protect everyone's time and energy while simultaneously continuing to fulfill our mission statement.

Further, we've already noticed a weight lifted amongst our volunteers! We utilized yesterday's Sunday meeting time to discuss BFP's history thus far, what it means to be a 501(c)(3), the nonprofit industrial complex, why we utilize a horizontal organizational structure, and then the best part? Our core beliefs! We only got to the first three (the right to organize, intersectionality, and educational equity), but the conversation was SO productive! Youth were given the chance to openly ask and answer questions with fellow activists around the globe. Even with just those three topics, we were able to cover: organizing tips, COINTELPRO, the gamification of politics, elite capture, epistemic injustice, the infantilisation faced by those at the intersection of transness and disability, equity vs equality, and accommodations in school! So much!

Next Sunday we'll continue this educational dialogue, so feel free to join us on Zoom (link available through our Discord server as well as college and career mentorship, peer support, mutual aid, private channels for marginalized communities, and the space to openly ask any social justice related questions without shame)! And once we eventually cover all of our core beliefs, BFP will officially begin designing a specific mission and timeline for this new task force, ensuring that all of us fully understand what our nonprofit stands for before making concrete decisions. Genuinely so excited to see how our little family transforms as we have already learned so much from one another in just one meeting since making this decision :)

[P.S. We do have bots in our server that can translate text messages for our non-English speakers, bots for those with dissociative identity disorder so their alters/fronts appear as different accounts with different names, bots for our nightly studying and music sessions, nonverbal emotes, and more!]

[ID: All 10 slides are a very pale mint green with a white circle made of diagonal stripes inside of a white tilted square made of thick dashes as the background. In the foreground is a white rectangle with curved edges meant to mimic an iPhone's "Notes" app with the bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, numbered list, and bullet point icons pictured at the bottom of the rectangle. Which icon is being highlighted shifts with each slide depending on the formatting of the text. At the top left corner, it reads "Notes" with a small arrow pointing left. And at the top right corner, "@bfpnola."

The slides read as follows:

"Honoring our dedication to transparency, this is BFP's current state of affairs:

Developing proper onboarding

Activity & Retention Task Force

Nonprofit Industrial Complex"

BFP was originally founded in 2016 by a team of 12 year olds in New Orleans, Louisiana. As the organization grew internationally and the work became more complex, we began to lose volunteers almost immediately as they joined. Why? We didn't have a proper onboarding process, aka a clear and efficient orientation and trainings for newcomers! As kids ourselves, none of us had entered the workforce yet so we weren't even aware that "onboarding" existed. Because of this, new hires would either become overwhelmingly confused and leave or be thrown straight into the work and burn out. As young adults now, we aim to create an efficient onboarding process and share our discoveries with other youth organizations in the future!

Due to that confusion, BFP has become incapable of hosting any more large-scale workshops, as we have failed to thoroughly prepare our newer volunteers with clarity. We owe it to those directly impacted by coercive hierarchies to do better. So, what's next for us? On 03/26, we decided to create a cross-committee Activity & Retention Task Force. This team will be dedicated to expanding our audience, maintaining the family that we've curated thus far, analyzing the success and failures of our work, and most importantly... Emphasizing BFP as a safe space for marginalized youth globally. With such a diverse team, we are always learning from one another and we'd like to continue sharing that opportunity with as many people as possible. But there's something we'd like to keep in mind!

The Nonprofit Industrial Complex. We are aware as a 501(c)(3) that organizations' radical missions can often become co-opted either by their donors or distracted by their own maintenance. If BFP ever becomes too focused on its own survival rather than that of the oppressed… We will take that needed step back. Community should always be our focus. This task force is meant to broaden youth’s access to political education and peer support, not necessarily propel BFP within the nonprofit industry. The people must come first and foremost.

More concrete steps will be released soon to hold ourselves accountable. We look forward to improving this organization so that BFP can put out the work that y'all deserve and that we know we are capable of producing. Thank you for reading! Check the caption for more information."

#tli #lusi is so good with the stars in her eyes. im rly loving the way they're capturing her budding crush and their relationship as a whole #idk how to explain it like the closest comparison would be youth romance but it also doesn't feel like it trivialises it? #like it feels tender and sincere they rly put u into that headspace of friendship and first love when ur young just in a xianxia setting #there's an ease in the way they're written and their chemistry that instantly endears u to them

#kim jiwoong #zb1 #zerobaseone #youth in the shade #twt dump #hes literally a webtoon character #i failed in capturing his stunning beauty but this pic of him is so pretty

does anyone know how old jordie's actor is? I can't find it anywhere online but he looks way to old to be playing jordie, who's only 13 when he dies.

#maybe the show will make him look younger but... #out of all the characters you've HAVE to stress his and Kaz's youth in their backstory #and the show has already kind of failed at capturing how young the crows are and how fucked up it all is #but ill be really disappointed if they mess this up #shadow and bone #grishaverse #six of crows

mad to me that Wizards vs Aliens, the 2012 CBBC sci-fi show aimed primarily at 7-12 year-olds has not one but two storylines that a still have the power to just ruin me to this day

#like bro BRO lexi and tom’s whole arc with the kid in the netherworld and how she ends up with him at the end? #and the fucking #i can’t remember what episode or even season this is from #but there’s this one girl wizard who’s actress is also in eastenders i think #and it’s like a run of the mill episode where the wizards get captured and they have to free themselves and escape the ship #and over the course of the episode toms like falling in love with the girl character yeah #and it gets to the point where the plot of the episodes over like it’s Done and you expect the credits to roll #but then she gets captured by the aliens after toms left thinking she’s safe and she has her magic (read: youth) drained out of her #and then it shows him showing up for the date they’d agreed to go on and she’s just not there #BUT THEN BAM SHE IS THERE AND HE LEFT WITHOUT EVER RECOGNISING HER #like what the fuck russle t davis

what was harumakigohan cooking w i cant be a beautiful girl cause on one level it feels like peering deep into his soul and it almost explains exactly why he feels resonance with tales of sapphic youth and beautiful tragic disillusionment but on the other hand my god this song is so trans . its so trans

#either way hes a genius #the song has an underlying melancholy as they tend to do but it also feels hopeful and personal and aaaa #harumakigohan i love u ur everything i strive to be as a creative i preordered the meltychan figure she will b treasured #vocaloid #kINDA #harumakigohan actually captured my childhood so closely to reality it terrified me #i have a bond specifically to futarino that drives me crazy and helps me remember times ive begun to forget #im not sapphic and i was mistaken in my estimations at that age but i definitely experienced the full harumakigohan package in my youth #it was kind of crazy #anyway this song makes me feel a lot #like 'i wonder if you had connections in your past that made you feel this way' #and 'i wonder what stories youve experienced and why if you did feel them deeply in your soul #they became tales of sapphic adolescence and disillusionment and fate and death and love #perhaps im not one to talk as someone whos about to write a whole lot of very gay very personal fiction in my future #but i am non parasocially intrigued as to what hrmkghn experienced to lead him here to tell stories the way he does #cause if it felt visceral and real to me #im sure it felt even more so to him
