#IT DRIVES ME NUTS

[revenantghost]

While I do absolutely adore manga Vash's sass in calling his sister a spoiled little girl, I love this illustration of Vash pre-July.

Now, the circumstances overall are a bit different; in Trimax, the plant was losing control/overreacting, and here she's seemingly just chilling. But in this version, Vash isn't just pushing his way in, he's requesting what he's about to do... which seems only polite since he's about to stop both their vitals and make them medically dead for a bit here (it was three minutes in the manga). Post-July Vash is full of rage and a particular sort of grief we've only caught glimpses of so far, but it makes sense this gentler Vash would feel badly about this, even if it saves lives. Idk man, I just really enjoy the thought put into these younger, less-mature versions of the characters in Tristamp.

#Trigun #Tristamp #Trigun Stampede #Yes this is probably why he passes out #I know they never clarify this in the canon of the show #It drives me nuts #But it's basically the same scene aside from some adjustments so #Anyway the character arcs they're setting up in s1 are SO good #SO very thought through #You love to see it

does anyone else hate the ways TRAs use the words “folks” and “community” it feels so forced and weird

Everyone is hyped over Callum, "I would do anything for you," as if it isn't a two-way street. Rayla is the same. She has and will do anything for him just the same. They will both literally put their own lives at risk for each other. Scold one another for doing the same thing and then kiss, I don't make the rules.

#rayla #callum #rayla x callum #tdp #the dragon prince #rayllum #it needs to be clear that these two are the same in that #they would do anything for each other #it drives me nuts #i love them

also fun reminder: chan wrote "butterflies" after a butterfly landed on his nose while they were shooting smth and he was so surprised and got super interested and looked up words associated with butterfly and those feelings and made the demo for "butterflies" and is that just not the most chan coded thing to happen...

#🥹🦋🐺💗 HES A PUPPY I KNOWNI KNOWWWHISNDKDJD #IT DRIVES ME NUTS #It was MEEE I WAS THE BUTTERFLY THAT LANDED ON HIS NOSE AND KISSED HIM ON HIS PRETTY NOSE #IM IN TEARS ON THE BUS #IM SUCH A WRECK 😭😭😭😭 #YOU GUYSSSS #li.txt

Arthurian Knighthood and Guinevere's Sword

[...]

As a modern person, this SHOULD be in more Arthuriana:

Guinevere giving Lancelot his sword - it is symbolic of his:

coming-of-age,

entry into knighthood,

establishing of his relationship with Guinevere, in both Romantic AND Feudal contexts

AND, the granting of Martial Prowess from a Lady (in a sanitized, Medieval Gender-conforming context). Possibly being an expression of that Lady's own martial potential.

Like, this plot thread reeks of some kind of Mentor-Student relationship that normally would be between male characters, but instead, its between an "Older and Wiser Female" and "Younger, Inexperienced Male" (compared to Tristan and Isolde, where its Tristan who teaches Isolde at her mother's behest).

It's like Scathach and Cu Chulainn. Obviously, Guinevere could never be allowed by medieval writers to teach Lancelot martial arts but the implicit allegory in place for us to take advantage of, especially in this era where Guinevere can fight and/or be a warrior queen.

It helps that Guinevere has her own cadre of young knights that she rears and maintains:

Its basically a kind of feeder school.

Hell, I would make the sword Guinevere gives as Arondight, the sword of Lancelot from Bevis of Hampton (and weirdly hyped-up in Japanese Media). The sword would have been Guinevere's personal weapon since her maiden days, and the passing of this weapon to Lancelot represents

Guinevere retiring from her own Martial Career

Lancelot, in becoming her champion, acts as an extension of Guinevere's prowess, stuff she can't be doing anymore as a court lady and Queen and now must work through proxy.

Lancelot becoming, in a sense, a successor of Guinevere's legacy

#god #there is so much i want to say about this #it drives me NUTS #I AM UNWELL #there is so much potential here for modern writers #here in vulgate cycle #but english writers are too hung up on Malory-Tennyson-White's version of Lancelot and Guinevere #vulgate is just so much more different in context #sir lancelot #queen guinevere #literary knighthood #swords #bevis of hampton #arondight #arthuriana #arthurian legend #arthurian mythology #arthurian legends #vulgate cycle

The Gang Gets Romantic, Chokes and The Gang Texts were all undeniably engineered to drive the macden girls crazy. makes me wish i could've been in the writers room for the inception of these eps

#the s14 vers of Hero Or Hate Crime PTSDee and Tends Bar all being in a row #s12's vers of that tho was like. dipping their toes in n then quickly takin em out w DDL #but s14 was like ..... fuckin placing the deliberate bait on a fish hook n shakin it around in the water #but then changing the bait at the very last minute to be 'we could be ending the show... but we wont!!" so its all jumbled thematically #bizarre. Bizarre!!! #it drives me nuts #thats tv gold right there tho thats tv at its peak #macden

Heartbreaking: post you mostly agreed with used the "you wouldn't say this about [x thing]" gotcha when you know for a fact people do, in fact, say that about [x thing]

#it drives me nuts #any time you say that. i can guarantee people do say that #you underestimate people's ability to be stupid #type: other #fandom: none

so, my (not old) headset just broke out of nowhere (just randomly lost sound on the right ear and it doesnt come back no matter what i did with both its software bs and plugs)

can anyone recommend a headset with good sound and decent mic that preferably doesnt cost me more than 80€?

(broken one is a HyperX Alpha, i got another HyperX for work but its a different model and now idk if i should go for it again after this ..)

#ganondoodles talks #personal #not feeling well anyway so it just breaking seconds after im off from work just feels so targeted #hardest part is finding one with a metal or other non plastic bow thing bc those just break so fast #and with the right plugs- almost any other one i looked into had one of those two in one plug for audio and mic #and my pc doesnt have that #it can cost more if it lasts longer #even if i had alot of spendings this month and want to save money #...... i need that even if just to tune out high pitch sounds my stupid work mouse makes #YES the MOUSE is making high pitched noises when its not moving #it drives me nuts

my accent fucks me up so much that I accidentally spell things wrong because it doesn't look the same as I say it

#it drives me nuts #and on top of the wttt just #adds onto that by filling my brain with more words said in different accents #help #I can't stop saying ope #it's became apart of my day to day words #I don't even live in the midwest

Fans talking about Red and Blue using “off-meta” Pokemon: “They’re dedicated people using things they have attachment to in a great show of characterization. Besides, this just means they’re such skilled trainers they don’t even need legends and super strong options!”

Fans talking about Alder using off-meta Pokemon: “Yeah they must have just wanted to make him seem weak since the only good mon on his team is Volcarona. They just didn’t seem to care about him so he’s not as interesting.”

So sorry you’re no longer able to play around in your imagination, and have mistakenly identified this personal problem as the series getting worse. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

#pokemon #this brought to you from the Reddit #where someone directly argued alder was made to seem weak #buddy he’s the fucking champion #why is off meta an indictment only when you’re not Gen 1 #like Geeta gets the same shit #Diantha gets the same shit #someone Steven doesn’t despite running Armaldo #figure that one out #it drives me nuts #i know the gameplay experience gives certain impressions #but for fuck’s sake live a little

"Having only two genders is what's natural! Everything else is made up!"

If it's so natural, then why the hell do you have to work so hard to maintain and enforce it?

one of my favorite things about din without his helmet on is he seems completely unaware of his wicked helmet hair and how silly it makes him look.

like sorry dude i know this is one of the worst days of your life but babygirl... your hair...

bestie, your shit is just everywhere...

#eli talks #din djarin #the mandalorian #mando #it drives me nuts #i tried to get a good pic of that one promo art that is purple #the one where his helmet hair looks almost like cat ears or devil horns #it sends me to hell every time but i couldnt get a good pic of it
