#that's just kinda torture

[jklovesfandoms]

So umm.... Would y'all like an analysis of/opinions on all the rtc choreography? Bc I think you'll get it, even if you don't want it.

Like, I am physically restraining myself bc I have things to do in an hour, and it's gonna take longer than that to do it in good depth.

But like... Would the fandom like that? Bc me, as fandom wants to do it, and I am. Bc I have a 4 day weekend.

This isn't asking, this is warning.

You're getting me ranting about choreography in the off Broadway production, if you like it or not.

Suffer, if you don't

#ride the cyclone #rtc #ride the cyclone musical #man i love this musical so much #I'm a theater kid okay #this is what i do in my spare time #i will put way too much thought and effort into these posts #also pretty much every number will have it's own analysis #not making y'all read the full thing #that's just kinda torture #not really but you know what i mean

I just keep circling back to “I find the artifacts/Cried over a hat/Cursed the space that I needed/I trace the evidence/Make it make some sense/Why the wound is still bleeding” as we slowly get more information about this album.

#taylor swift #ttpd #the tortured poets department #hits different #especially since hd is in kinda a weird space in terms of midnights as a whole #like she worked with both Aaron and Jack on it and it wasn’t part of the 3 am or standard and is just a bonus track

you can hate taylor swift. really, you can. but I just saw someone say they stayed up until 5am to “hate” listen to ttpd and….babe you can just say you’re a fan at this point. this is a safe space you don’t have to hide! we’re not gonna be mean if you say you actually wanted to stay up and listen to the album because you thought you might enjoy it.

Halloween prompts year 2 day 28

Thomas stared down at Bruce-no- Danny as he led him by the hand toward what he had dubbed as his "Secret Lair" which was just an old fall out shelter in the woods that had been well hidden and forgotten about. The door to it was old and still buried under years of dirt and plant growth, requiring Danny to phase them into it which made Thomas wonder how his grandson had found it in the first place.

Inside was surprisingly high tech. "You have a secret lair filled with all this equipment but don't have any weapons or armor?" Thomas asked, making mental preparations to fix that.

Danny sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck and explained his only allies were two other 14 year olds who were also untrained, unarmed, unarmored, and unsuper-powered which would explain why Danny was so excited to be working with an adult vigilante who at least knew what they were doing.

The kid didn't even mind when some of his more evil or harmful rogues "stopped showing up" thankfully no one would really question the reclusive Vlad Masters "going back to Wisconsin" only to never be seen again. No one saw much of him before coming to Amity Park, it made since he would become a hermit again once he had his fill of human interaction.

And if hes later found dead in his cheese castle? Well, the body had decomposed too much to really say what killed him. His will left everything to a Daniel James Fenton/Daniel James Masters which visibly infuriated Danny. Thomas mentally patted himself on the back. It was a good call to get rid of that one. The will was a surprise, though one that can only benefit Thomas in his crusade of protecting his grandson. Its not like he can return to a timeline that no longer exists anyway.

Unfortunately this doesn't stop the bats from hearing about "Batman" operating in a city in Illinois for the past few months...

It's still kind of sad how c!Dream acts pragmatic about his torture but secretly does want people to acknowledge how messed up it was and that he didn't deserve it. With c!Sapnap, c!Tommy and c!Foolish, he brings it up to achieve certain goals and then drops it quickly once that doesn't work or the goal has been achieved. But then with c!Sam, he insists that he didn't deserve to get tortured and that it is evil and wrong to torture others or to allow it to happen. And then there's c!Punz who talks quite emotionally to c!Purpled about how the torture was not okay (so you can imagine what he said when Dream told him). As much as Dream tries to leverage his torture, I do think he desperately wants to hear others say that it shouldn't have happened, that not even he deserved to go through that.

#like the way he mentions the torture and then immediately drops it is just so sad #I feel like he does want to hear “it was messed up that this happened” #even if he would not really respond or know how to respond to that #I mean yeah I don't think he wants to get pitied but just having that reassurance is already something #c!dream #dreblr #analysis #kinda I guess

Infinite makes a Sonadow amv to Everytime We Touch and forces Sonic to watch it repeatedly

lmao. yeah

#infinite the jackal #eggman #sonic the hedgehog #sonadow #kinda #answers #my art #sorry this has been sitting in my asks for a while i HAD to draw it #i love sonadow i love infinite BEING a sonadow shipper. just like me fr #but god this being the months of torture that sonic goes through is so so so funny #thank u anon ur right

[houseswife]

find it sooo funny that foreman is cuddy now and chase is house because although cuddy was an enabler she at least had some semblance of what you’re meant to do as a doctor. so she could hold up the facade a tiny bit. chase is gonna walk in like “I need approval to amputate this guy’s perfectly working legs and then re-attach them using dental floss. without anaesthesia btw. and we’re gonna hypnotise his medical proxy to get consent. we think he has a mild mint allergy and I need the answer” and foreman isn’t even gonna look up from his paperwork before responding “k lol”

#ignore the fact that foreman is canonically stricter than cuddy with his punishments bc he’s still resisting his internal house-ness #I choose to believe that at some point he’s either 1) so blinded by the years of malpractice that his ethical judgement is genuinely #compromised #or 2) he just stops giving a fuck #but I admit I did enjoy seeing him say ‘you lied to a patient?!’ as if that’s the worst thing their department has ever done #babygirl. you covered up a murder. you have tortured people on multiple occasions. #this has turned into me needing to sit in on one of foreman’s nonexistent therapy seshes #house md #hatecrimes md #eric foreman #robert chase #lisa cuddy #greg house #choreman #<- I don’t even ship them within the show but I like them in a ‘doomed to repeat the narrative’ kinda way

Hi! I'm here for the requestober. Could you draw Handplates!Gaster and Scriabin interacting? Not in any specific way, whatever you think is fine ❤️

Day 9 - Also stop following me

#My art #Requestober #Handplates #UT #Gaster #Vargas #Scriabin #He's reformed - kind of - leave him alone! #They've interacted in small ways before - Gaster stealing Scriabin's wings and the little families meeting up hehe #Skelebros saying hi to Squee <3 #But I wonder what Gaster would make of Scriabin! If he could tell that he's not human and if that would matter to him #If anyone could relate to being a humanoid monster it'd be Gaster wouldn't it? Although he'd probably resent the comparison lol #''I'm nothing like- like /that/!'' ''First of all rude I have a name'' lol #What would win out! Scriabin's not-humanness or how much he appears like a human? #It probably wouldn't matter either way - if they could meet in realspace then Scriabin would be in a human body #He's still not human but at that point it's more semantics than anything haha #And if Gaster somehow ended up in mindspace with him (???) then he'd kinda just have to roll with Scriabin's non-human abilities haha #Which would be fun admittedly! #As for Scriabin he just wants toys lol #Scientists are known to have a lot of fun torture equipment - Gaster especially #Sure he could do it himself but why not network lol #How can he tell what he's saying? Ehh it's more of a feeling lol - he's not exactly projecting a receptive vibe #They're funny to draw next to each other! They're both so darkmode haha ♪ #And they're both stick figures but Gaster is that by definition - Scriabin has meat on his bones! #I'm also pretty sure I haven't drawn Gaster post-getting out of the Void before now? :0 Maybe once as a doodle but I don't remember #It's a good look for him <3 Tragic context but very pretty #Then again that's just kind of a theme for most of Zarla's stories huh haha ♫

okay but can i say i’m soooo curious to see where the tubbo and cucurucho beef goes?

like the last time something similar happened cellbit got chased with a CHAINSAW down an inescapable tunnel and for the most part, all he did that was “illegal” was make an iron farm using villager exploits.

but now you have tubbo, who within a matter of only a week or so now has committed not 1, not 2, but 3 illegal acts (at least that i can remember) that are on a much larger scale than what cellbit had done.

if they thought the tiny iron farm cellbit made back in may was bad, just imagine what they think of what tubbos been doing. he made an absolutely MASSIVE drill that would’ve caused devastating damage to federation buildings (had he used them to grief any) before running off with it after being told it was illegal.

then, he received a creative motor from forever and richas, and while technically he was gifted it, just possessing one is illegal now and punishable, even if you’re not using it.

not to mention what he did this morning when he created another drill and pushed the boundaries of what the federation qualified as a “too big” again (though much smaller than the last) and then when cucurucho asked for it to be handed over CREATING AN ELABORATE SCHEME TO HIDE THIS INSANE MACHINE FROM A WHITE BEAR THATS ACTIVELY GUNNING HIM DOWN!!!

like tubbo does not give a fuck rn and you can tell it’s getting to cucurucho too because, like many people have pointed out, this is the first time it’s been so aggressive since torturing cellbit. i mean it literally downed tubbo 2-3 times and revived him each time before killing him again right after, and then later firing off bullets like crazy to try and catch him when he was spying on foolishs conversation with it.

#qsmp #liveblog #qsmp tubbo #qsmp cucurucho #cucurucho #i wonder if he’ll just get arrested/taken or if he’ll get the cellbit treatment (torture) #cause tbf it’s kinda the only thing that’s half-worked when compared with arrests and stuff #I MEANNNN id be more scared of being chased down with a chainsaw than being arrested

On the left, Orog! 7 ft (2.1 m) tall, they're basically the underdark version of the mountain orc. However, while everyone else who goes to the underdark turns evil, these orcs just improved thier smithing and came back basically the same. just got a trade degree and a bit pale. Tougher and more knowledgeable than the average orc, that's the power of an honest education in a trade you enjoy. If you're interested in an orc that would be forklift certified, this one's for you!

On the right, Death Knight! Corrupted paladins brought back by dark magic. Used to be fighters and rangers too, but 5e changed that. They can't heal anymore, but spells like Hold Person or Command might interest you! The most famous knight even turned into one of this due to a tragic romance, they've got that corrupted good thing going on!

#orog #death knight #smash or pass #dnd 5e #dnd #d&d #5e #d&d 5e #seriously every single thing that goes from aboveground to underdark goes evil #from latent magic or mindflayers or torture or just the harsh survival conditions #and these orcs just went there and back unfazed #like just figured out smithing and better mining and came back 1000s of year later #bigger and stronger and ready to go back to thier old normal ways. just with better stuff now. fucking legends. #I mean yeah the book acts like they're meaner cause they started bullying thier weaker mountain orc cousins that didn't go to the caves #but that's kinda just normal behavior? as if those mountain orcs wouldnt do the same it the orogs came back weaker?

Shortly after Madoka Magica released (to great success), everyone started trying to make the next big "magical girl misery" anime. I think the reason those ones didn't really take off is because they missed the point of Madoka: the love of others and self-sacrifice is center stage, and we only really feel bad for the characters of Madoka Magica because we see them happy.

Madoka Magica isn't just a misery fest; Mami's death matters because we understand Mami's dreams and struggles, Sayaka becoming Oktavia is impactful because we see her downfall that isn't her fault (or anyone's for that matter). Madoka (and to a secondary extent, Homura) never give up hope or trying.

Madoka isn't constantly victimised and abused (unlike some over-the-top edgy magical girl animes I know) she's in tragic circumstances and still tries her best; still WANTS the best for the world around her.

Making something sad isn't about how much we see a character suffer and struggle; it's about making the struggles and suffering they go through impactful through their story. Wants, relationships, traits, and flaws... That's what makes a character's pain painful for an audience.
