#THE SHEER TENSION OF IT

[ren-144p]

something about the first few episodes of the terror having so many numbers. the men, the provisions, the inventory; but also the tension of counting. the scene where goodsir takes a picture of john franklin and his men and he's counting down the seconds. the lashes being counted down during hickey's punishment. and something about how in later episodes, numbers get lost. dates get forgotten. counting just stops. all of it becomes insignificant. like it was a countdown at first but now the time is just running out instead

#the terror #the terror amc #just some thoughts #loved the tension this show managed to build with countdowns and numbers #especially the countdowns that happened in real time like the ones mentioned #i was stressed out of my mind counting down seconds along with mr. goodsir #and i was counting in sheer shock during hickey's lashing #technically i know not all numbers went away; they still count guns in the camp later on for example #but the way they talk about food for one. the way at some point it switches from every can being accounted for #to 'we're mostly down to biscuits‚ tea and chocolate' #because the numbers don't matter anymore; all that matters it's that it is not enough #i dunno man!! numbers! i love when numbers and countdowns are utilized well to bring more horror and tension to the situation! #ren.txt

I think I should be legally banned from consuming content with glenn close, its turned me into a monster. I just said ‘I gotcha, baby.’ To a notebook I thought I lost when I found it. That’s deranged. that’s DERANGED. I SMIRKED AT A FUCKING NOTEBOOK. I’M HOME ALONE. PUT ME DOWN. THIS IS BECAUSE OF HIM.

#I’m also chewing gum #which feels like actually a huge factor #but I just. I thought i couldn’t find it and then I went ‘maybe it fell’ and caught a glimpse and man #I had so much sheer flirting confidence with thsi notebook #the tension was incredible #/j but like #this is because of glenn right #this is Glenn core? #like I shook my head at it #I’m embarrasing myself on main because it’s funny #anyways if I don’t reply to stuff I’m on a hw grind #dndads #dungeons and daddies #glenn close

emperor when zaaro

#gacha games retired #arknights #emperor holding onto that gun through sheer force of will #this scene is sooo funny to me. Arknights constantly risking tanking their own story’s tension by having this guy do anything

The only sneak peek I’m giving of Chapter 9 is telling you that Y/n is on the ground when Kathleen attacks. Joel’s got two girls to protect.

#you want tension? you want longing? you want sheer panic? you shall have #twenty years later

it’s a shame the shows were made so far apart because i think dr charles would have a field day with dr house and dr wilson

#my thoughts #house md #chicago med #i wouldn’t even try to write medical professionals #but if i did #i would make daniel charles’ head explode from the sheer homoerotic tension #not to mention the rampant medical malpractice

what we do in the shadows the kind of show to make you think you can't read any more into it and then beat you over the head with nandor calling guillermo out for being jealous of his and lazlo's sexual exploits and guillermo retaliating by calling lazlo 'baby'

#that sure was. an episode #still can't believe they didn't give us a full scene of nandor and guillermo posing as a couple #they must have known the sheer homosexual tension would be too much #wwdits #wwdits spoilers #theo talks

this is literally Some Manner of Beast

that's literally her bones and guts and stuff ^ I give her baths and replenish her Lily White blood from a little oil bottle.

I replaced her tension assembly in a clumsy, experimental surgery. She is feeling much better now.

Thinking about Vision abilities manifesting unconsciously in response to fluctuations in emotions

#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. ); #//Kinda went into it regarding Kae #//He makes frost when he’s nervous and freezes things when startled/really upset #//And Lumi; blasting air when spooked #//But also thinking about like #//Diluc or Amber getting little tongues of flame dancing on their fingers or in their hair when being Tested #//Jean and Kazuha making the air still and feel so suffocating when angered or tense #//Collei making flowers grow when she’s happy or conversely wilting/drooping things when not #//Kuki and Lisa making the air crackle and staticky when annoyed #//Or Fischl accidentally shocking someone in excitement #//Taru intimidating someone and they feel their very blood act up; so laced in tension by the pressure he seems to radiate #//That same pressure affecting them when he’s in an especially good mood bc it’s that overwhelming #//Itto and Guizhong making the very earth tremble without even needing to stomp; by sheer force of their anger #//Or even then influencing gravity to an extent with their moods #//Idk a lot of this is bullshit; pay no heed jfbfb

i’m gonna see what i can manage to get done today, but physical therapy today was brutal and then my tachycardia decided to crop up as a side effect to the flu shot. so it may only be the afternoon, but my poor body’s been through the ringer.

#ooc #[ my body holds all its tension in its shoulders and neck ] #[ especially the left side ] #[ the amount of sheer muscle work my pt has to put into massaging that area probably hurts /her/ tbh ] #[ she has to put her whole ass body into it ] #[ my body naturally recoils from it and every few minutes she has to pull me back into the chair lol ] #[ her: tell me if it hurts ] #[ me who is crying: it hurts like hell BUT DONT STOP ] #[ it ain’t gonna get better if we baby this shit ] #[ my pt: how much fucking stress do you have child ] #[ my whole upper back is bruised af but my arm don’t hurt no more so we’re getting somewhere ]
