#in turn his true happiness

[forestofsprites]

i'm at 33 bastardly pages of notes from my research this afternoon, and the absolute best that i have to show for it is my desperation to explore cas's confession and death through the lens of death sentence speeches & subsequent executions in 17th/18th century england!!!!!!!!

#there are more parallels than youd think #i could extend it to french capital punishment too #but that was a staunch roman catholic gig compared to england's little protestant fanfare #and the most crucial component is the notion of your little predeath spiel in english hangings. absent from french #(save for amende honorable?? could argue that maybe) im so tired i cant make this make much sense atm #but for the english system. the sort of best possible ending was giving your autobio speech of ideally guilt #youd bare your sins. youd ask for forgiveness. #youd fucking die #^ very oversimplified im exhausted #and here you have cas #who in the context of spn was never allowed to be gay and in gay love #not by the confines of the show #and his admission to dean was just that- admitting his greatest sin #in turn his true happiness #anyway #then he fucking dies #look #it makes a lot more sense when im not tired #i will make a post #with citations #and we will all love it

Was giving these analysis a read [ x , x , x , x ]

#twisted wonderland #twst #trey clover #jamil viper #kalim al asim #jade leech #and then i gave his mentioned vignettes a read #it's true #he has a back street way to get stuff he wants #but thankfully the things he wants always borderline normal #the best thing about him laying low is to strike when people are totally off guard around him #which is what happened to riddle #fsdshd i guess if he did turn someone's bone into a jelly he would overblot in an instant fhsdhs #that sounds just as scary as avatar's blood bending #i was focusing more on his wanting to be normal side bcs i was not through yet with all stories involving him #but i'm not sure if i could be sly enough to write him as clever as he should be #somehow reading him being described as clever makes me a bit happy #like woah he really is! #fsdhsdh but he can really be a henchman of mafia group if he really wants to; this trey #fshdshdshdsdh OH no now i'm imagining the leech's mafia family #but i think leech's dad would respect trey's choice not to get his hands on any of these shady business #but it's assuring to know trey might have something up in his sleeves if anything ever happen to his son #anyway happy birthday trey! #also this doujinshi strips where trey doing a back street way of casting his nets over jade #https://twitter.com/CfEo95iwr/status/1715992373686362213 #i like to think he is confident he could do it without such a thing #but that sly way i understand now it's totally him

this was smart <'3

#fionna and cake #adventure time #fionna and cake spoilers #simon petrikov #fionna campbell #i love this turn around for fionna's thought's on the ice king its so smart... #at the beginning she saw ice king as just a funny and goofy guy side to simon. not really knowing the depths of what he truly represented. #and at that time she barley KNEW him #so of course she'd say ice king seemed happier then simon #but now that she KNOWS things about him #his love life with betty #his research into magic #his humor. his heart. his dedication to help her and cake as much as he can. #seeing how bad a ice king CAN be with the winter king. #and seeing those tapes. #that's not him. #that guy...who he was for thousands of year's... that's not the TRUE simon. #ice king IS sad #on the outside he looks happy. to people who dont know hes just a goofy guy having fun with his penguin's! #but now with fionna knowing context... #simon is the happier one out of the two. #the less insane. #the one who sure isnt in a great moment in his life right now. but he's HIMSELF. #not ice king. he's simon. #simon petrikov. the true version.

lol Jason recovering his memories piece by piece and telling Leo and Piper that he was (is?) praetor and they're like the fuck is a praetor and he explains it and all they can think is him bodyslamming campers during capture the flag and shaking his whole body off when it rains like a dog and constantly biting enemies and being a feral menace and they're trying so hard to put together wolf boy Jason who is actively staring down a nearby chicken with his lower jaw shaking lightly and this new image of pristine golden boy Jason who was apparently voted to be in charge of an entire army and act a major magistrate within their government, and not just the guy they sicced on a Titan like some kind of overpowered hunting dog

#jason grace #wolf!jason #happy talks pjo #nah but free and happy and wolfish jason slowly turning into stressed out teeth clenched leader jason before their eyes #as his memories click back in and he starts to become the thing he never wanted to be because. well. that's what everyone wanted. right? #he hears his father and his stepmother and lupa's voices remind him of his true purpose more and more louder and louder #a leader of rome (a weapon of the gods). the golden child (the lone wolf). infallible and undefeated (unloved and scarred)

Hi, it’s Force. I just need to tell you guys, thank you for watching the series and for letting me into your heart. Without you guys as my emotional support, I wouldn’t be here today. All the love you give me, I’ll keep it with me forever. I don’t know what the future holds, but you need to know that I love all of you.

Hello, it’s Book. It’s very nice to meet all of you, both those who have been here all this time, and those who have just met me. Thank you for all the love on both my good days and bad days, and thank you for supporting my dreams. So please don’t forget to follow your dreams too. Love yourself and smile a lot of days that the world isn’t too nice to you. I love you and know that I’m also here for you. See you.

#am i upset i didn’t get the abaab dvd boxset? absolutely #anyways. these messages are just. so them and so lovely #force wanting to tattoo his love for us into our brains #and book telling us to smile even on bad days when he and force have given us nothing but happiness and joy #despite the world treating them badly often #i always say that they take all the hate they get and turn them into love and kindness to give back to us and it’s not an overstatement #they always protect our smiles and i wish i could protect theirs too #i wish i could make all of their dreams come true :( #forcebook #a boss and a babe #mj talks

nate being the only doctor makes me wonder what he's had to do for the others before

Nate does a lot for the crew. (Also woo look at his human disguise!)

When he's not actively treating or checking on them, he's constantly working to compare studies and test data to understand how to treat his friends, seeing as they have widely different genetic makeups and could react in ways that are *catastrophically* unexpected.

He can't use human rules when working on them, which greatly complicates things when he's educated in treating humans. Sera and Vince naturally have nucleated blood cells for greater oxygen input since they're always in rigorous activity, but this is a sign of leukemia or other major deficiency in humans. How do drugs interact with their bodies? what reaction will their immune systems have? do they have an intolerance to certain chemical developments?

This is partly why Vincent underwent so much testing and experimentation- to catalogue and document an atlas for the reproduction and understanding of this hybrid Variant species, and how every facet of its anatomy works in that respect. Like a rough draft you don't care about messing up, and use only to learn from.

Sorry Vince.

It's a wonder how Nathaniel was able to successfully recompile enough information to save his friends at all. It's a lot of stress on one guy with no nurses! That goes without saying for Amon (who is a beastshifter) Sonia... (Who is a living chemical synthesis lab) The various other people who end up joining... (Who shall remain incognito)

...Yikes.

He has likely seen all of them naked at least once, due to emergencies. He's extremely professional, so it's like it never happened... But it's still never fun to have to use that kind of ER protocol on your injured friends and associates.

Everyone except for Vincent, since V never lets Nathaniel treat him for anything, even when he needs it.

Instead, everyone caught a harrowing and unwanted glimpse of Vincent when he landed back home after streaking in the rain. He now flies with his pants duct-taped on. And goggles. For the glare and the overwhelming surplus of bugs he slams into at twice the speed of a f1 car.

#devarambles #nathanieltag #one of the awkward facts about their situation as rogues is they have zero medical support besides Nathaniel. #and he has to constantly inform himself on their respective anatomy because theres so much undocumented info on variant medicine #Despite all of the extensive testing and processing reports done on variants #which is done in reference to improving human medicine. not necessarily variant healthcare. useful data regarding treating people is... #few and far between. Private research and study is usually done for variations that prove useful to government positions. #So variant healthcare is usually employed towards certain government divisions or certain levels of corporate practices. otherwise they #simply don't bother. “it costs less money to replace you than it does to keep you alive.” #Lol nate chose a shorter and thinner appearance when masking as a human. It makes him look a lot more approachable and his knees don't hurt #Sera... feels somewhat unnerved by his human form. It feels like she's cheating on him somehow. She has him change back when he's home. #He's perfectly happy with that since he doesn't like being disguised much either. He's pleasantly surprised to see that she prefers him #to be true blue. Most previous partners would request him to change into other forms. Sometimes he was even asked to turn into celebrities. #Not fun. Really not fun. He'd eventually associate his true self with something undesirable enough to be rejected over.

@remylong :

#newest broken telephone installment #the remy renaissance #or rather standard avvycc dms. broken telephone elements include ccsims designs of my old designs plus prev hp art plus the general sepia #of everything on fire. bonus to the chromatic aberration on hp it feels quite fitting (yknow bc the chorus behind his lines..) idk vibes #this colouring style is actl terribly fun i'm quite !!! about it. i'm also glad that I made reference sheets for them all long ago bc #otherwise i would have gone insane rrying to rmb them from scratch. lately despite the rainbow hp seems to overall be turquoise blue? which #is so fun compared to the more purple/ neutral blues and greys i have in mind for mark... #anyways doing well! getting back slowly into Making things again! having fun etc etc #have been in OC-land late​ly but nothing i'm ready to share yet haha #so occassional bit of fanart it is. i inexplicably want to draw hands now though i was walking back home #pondering my adamandi era (mad the most insane fanart i've ever made; no recollection of it now) and after enough mulling it over #it would be nice to return to it. don't think i'm as obsessed anymore but it's certainly not lacking in inspiration #ideas are there just havent reached the sweet spot where you get so taken by an idea you're compelled to turn it to reality #and i think itwould be fun. perhaps even gratifying to set wips to rest #so maybe. in the meantime px11 brokentelephone is sustaining my urge to make miscellaneous fanart haha #melliotverse so true. wonder why despite watching taopp i haven't been compelled to draw it but i get the inkling it's just that specific #aesthetic that doesn't do it for me. <blinks> it was very good and i enjoyed it immensely! i think i just surprised myself by being normal #about a musical for once. i think also bc irl i've been more Good Busy the drive to engage in fandom has dissipated somewhat.. #so overall i think it's a good thing. just different. but then again this stretch of time is a transitory period for me so changing ought to #to be expected. ah well tldr don't overthink just do what sparks joy be happy? literally so lucky to be spoiled for choice wrt things #i want to do. so much to do and see and learn and time still to get to figure it all out!

Ted Lasso was about the power of love, friendship, forgiveness, family.

But it also was a long long con, it took us up the mountain of wholesome writing and then drop kicked us off it on the last episode.

It reminded us with great joy that a show finale can suck so bad, it undoes every growth arc a character has had and turn them back into their Season 1, Episode 1 selves

#ted lasso #jamie tartt #roy kent #its sad that ted was right about it not being about him #because he basically is the same man he was in S1E1 #i dont know who those people were on screen today but it was not the jamie and roy i know #ted missed beard's wedding #thats the level of concerning were have reached #rebecca and sam had more potential for a romance than the dutch stranger please #yeah please tell that astrologist that her predictions are a pile of shit #something Ted Lasso writers forgot is no matter how much a father loves their child and compromises for them and tries to make them happy #if they are unhappy inside with themselves then it leaks out and turns into a cycle of guilt #remember when michelle and ted learnt that she was trying to stay in the marriage but that was also making her unhappy #yeah where did that lesson go #bitter bitter ending #not an ounce of happiness or accomplishment or joy (yes he was excited to see henry but did that look like a man ready to leave?) #this better be just the season finale cliffhanger and not the end of ted lasso #somebody said the Beard wedding was Ted having a dream (nightmare) and i am now hoping it was just that #but also how sad if that were true #ted dreams of his bestie and everyone else moving on without him

I was going to continue working on my stuff for Geneuary yesterday and today when life had other plans (AKA, I suddenly got really sick 😭).

I (hopefully) will still be able to get everything done in time. Fingers crossed. For now, have a lil’ sneak peek sketch!! It’s Gene in a mermaid costume, because he definitely had a mermaid phase growing up 😌

Shoutout to @ratguy-nico for sharing a sneak peek sketch too!! I adore his art so flipping much.

#geneuary2024 #i really like how this one turned out for some reason pffffffft #she’s a true mermaid queen!! 🧜‍♀️ #despite being very sick i am still VERY excited for geneuary #do y’all agree that gene watched disney’s the little mermaid when he was very young and it fundamentally changed him as a person #and he proceeded to pretend he could be a mermaid for MONTHS and linda thought it was the cutest thing ever #bob was mostly indifferent but happy that gene was so happy 😆 #tina loved being able to dress him in random costumes and do his hair❣️
