#THIS EPISODE STILL HIT ME HARD

[centurieslove]

rewatched 4x07 and this line left me dead in the street

#sometimes i forget how young arthur still is in season 4 #he's trying so hard in this episode #he's not saying lots but he has Thoughts #when he says he already has had his heartbroken?? #kill me #their interactions are so important to me #like we always talk about how gaius is merlin's father figure but I forget how much he was arthur's too #I'm hurting ok #fr though this line hit me like a truck #4x07 #merlin 4x07 #the secret sharer #arthur pendragon #gaius #bbc merlin

Fascinated by people just getting into WTNV and asking if there is a list of episodes to listen to, omitting the "unimportant" stuff I assume.

Chill, you all. Night Vale has been ongoing for around 11 years and it's yet to show any sign that it intends to end any time soon, so you can take your time. Even if it ended soon, there is time.

Enjoy the episodes as they are. Chew on them.

WTNV does this very special thing of making the town feel alive, not every citizen gets an arc or even a spotlight, but they're constant, they're there, living their lives. Those little details, little mentions of everyone growing and continuing living as time pass make it feel so nice.

And then, one day, Night Vale surprises you, and, oh, hey, remember that one intern whose death wasn't confirmed? Well, he has come back, and if you remember him and remember what happened to him at the time, you'll be able to connect the dots of the current arc faster.

The MOST unexpected things come back. The town is alive.

Just enjoy the ride! Enjoy Cecil's voice. Enjoy listening about this friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep.

#welcome to night vale #wtnv #i'm just sad people kinda feel like they need to consume this and do it fast or else... what? #like please. you don't need to do that!!! take your time to process and chew. some episodes hit hard and just leave you there thinking #besides. it's not like there's one main plotline exactly. there's a lot of arcs. usually like a big one each year but still #it's not that continues. it's been going for far too long for that. big part of what makes it enjoyable are the episodes that are- #technically unrelated to anything else going on with the main plot but still amazing and incredible #shout out to guidelines for disposal and ufo sightings and the vampire of lombardi street. they haunt me forever

(transcript by @violentandmagnificent)

It’s quiet here, living in your head. It’s quiet here, and when I talk, you listen, at least when you can hear me, which isn’t always. It isn’t always, but it’s better than never. It’s quiet here, living on this ship. It’s quiet here, and I remember when it was loud, I remember different voices bouncing in these halls, I remember old arguments, I remember myself. I wonder how much I can tell you; because  I can tell you; I have much to say. But you never saw me astride the Prophet’s Path, beside the Resin Heart, imparting wrath and play. So who am I? You only know what they’ve told you. So who am I? You only know what’s written down. So who am I? You only know what’s on recordings, and according to the world, I’m a hypocrite, or drowned. I doubt you can hear me, but I know that she can. So pardon my frustration, I’m just tired of her plan. I lost my life long before I understood, before metaphor became real, before I felt the wheel’s wood. I wonder what she’ll tell you. I wonder what she’ll share.  I wonder what she’ll ask of you, what task of sweat and prayer.  I long to sweat and pray, a body in the day. The color of the sun. The touch, the ocean's spray.  The last thing that I felt in life. (The first thing that I felt in life.) The touch, the ocean's spray.  I hope she tells the truth to you. (I hope she tells the worst to you.) The touch, the ocean's spray.  I loved her like she told me to. (I left her like she told me to.) The touch, the ocean's spray.  We’re running out of time, you know? (She’s running out of time, you know?) The touch, the ocean's spray.  I fear we might be mirrored, two echoes of a call shouted between two queens, two queens who want it all. I fear we might be symmetry, I fear we might be one. Make her tell the truth to you before we come undone.

#palisade #palisade spoilers #gur sevraq #i checked and i dont think anyones uploaded this one yet? #still havent listened to the episode proper btw. #possibly unwise to post this since i might see spoilers in the tags but whateverrrrrr gur sevraq. #i have an animatic rattling around in my head & like. im not doing that. but oooohhh #friends at the table #is it ocean spray or ocean's spray? it doesnt really matter truly but the s sound is so sharp to me... hrm. #thank you to ellis violentandmagnicifent again. i messed around w the linebreaks a bit but its hard... #its this weird balance between 'this is what it sounds like to me' vs 'but it looks strange (?!??)' #i really like the one at 'I wonder how much I can tell you; because '. thats a really good one. leaving it as is #it hits both (looks cool + captures the intonation used) #tbh this is also making my fingers itch to write it out how i did it on my long road to palisade intro comic #like. in a fun way. #long post

#critical role campaign 3 #fcg #can't believe episode /69/ had a quote that hit me so hard but here i am #still thinking about it

[r0semultiverse]

well, this all looks rather familiar...

#the llama or alpaca gem literally looks like one of the gems from the ice king crown #though thats interesting because I thought the ice elemental guy got it from a lava monster #also the wizard looking guys on the part about the magic beans remind me of those things shown in the cosmic imagination explained vids #those ones by paxw on youtube & other creators #im getting a bit tired pardon me if I miss on names & things im still reeling from the 7-8 episode experience; thank you to the AT crew #the next slide looks a LOT like the land of Ooo though I can't pinpoint where; im already terrible with irl geography #this man has been fixated on cursed objects since like day 1 lmao #doomed by the narrative fr #petrigrof got me crying though im ngl #im gonna miss my partner a lot when I go to finland :((( It might be a few years before I can see them in person again because travel #is very expensive 😭 thats probably partially why this hit so hard for me; I'm gonna miss our dates & adventures #mine #op #adventure time spoilers #adventure time fionna and cake #adventure time #fionna and cake #simon petrikov

there comes a beautiful time in life where i have to ask myselg th question, "did i accidentally project too hard onto the character that i only relate to a little bit and in doing so hugely missed this one entire aspect/interpretation of the characters . am i stupid"

#ARE THEY STUPID! #dr who #this is about ten specifically his relationship w martha lmao #m being so serious i genuinely did not. see the 'ten was on purpose leading martha on to make her think her feelings were requited' angle #until going out into the wild and reading the tumblr posts. like i genuinely did not. at ALLLLLL. its like a brick hitting my head #bc the ENTIRE time s3 ten came off to me as 'doing stuff w no romantic intent behind it but would consistently get misinterpreted as such' #cuz IIIIIIIII have done this. IIIIIIII have run into this problem before. and it sucks so incredibly bad. #i actually do want to think my og interpretation still holds water cuz like. well i could gather all the evidence but #first one that comes 2 mind would be him going 'it's like when you fancy someone + they dont know you exist' to martha. in episode TWELVE #two routes; either ten is needlessly cruel and callous even after a season's worth of building up trust and friendship w her #or he is on super 'i dont think she has feelings for me and this is a very unhappy coincidence of a line' cocaine #Or the 'she fancied me' line in s4 to donna. either he is disregarding all the good and positive impact she did him. or the fact that this #went over his head the whole time made him look back on that time w discomfort <- I DID THIS. I MIGHT HAVE BEEN PROJECTING #THIS ONTO HIM. AM I STUPID.?.????? #you know how mikage rgu can either be read as an incel or a gay man lost so completely in the sauce #ten is like in this same ballpark. i think. of 'emotionally manipulative and disrespects women' or 'aroacespec and missed the cues' #funniest possible options to pick from. ten my brother how did you set yourself up like this #absolutely not denying that he was toxic and unhealthy during s3 in like 500 ways btw. but well. ths is the one concwpt that #flew over my head. so completely. and i can kind of see it now but i also still find it hard to incorporate into my belief system #bc its like. brother I'M aroace and missed the cues too lol #tangential note we can trace many problems down to a writer's room filled w white people not giving #martha's character the respect/agency she deserves for the existing narrative she has. bc they pulled this w mickey too both in series 1+2 #if they wanted to portray ten as manipulative then him and martha should've been given more screentime #together where martha (or anyone else) calls him the FUCK out on this. and ten would need to suffer narrative consequences of doing smth #as fucked up as that rather than his happy stable dynamic he has w donna. if they wanted to portray him as oblivious then marthas character #shouldn't have constantly been boiled down to an unrequited crush (particularly her dialogue in the s3 finale - there's a LOT more reasons #why she would choose to leave/why their dynamic was unhealthy besides ten not returning her feelings) #if you read all these tags you may be entitled 2 financial compensation #ten and martha #aspec doc tag

hard time is such a devastating episode but just. these lines always make me tear up sm. they hit so hard.

#'you didn't need to ask'.... #it probably hits so hard to me because it just reminds me of myself too much #of like pushing people away on the account of 'never asking for help' #but like #god. #agh. #the people in your life who truly love you will always try their best to help #smthm i still struggle with honestly #either way hard time is a brutal episode #i am now. so emotional. #man. #ds9 #julian bashir #miles o'brien

just finished kamen rider double episode 48

what the fuck

why does the funny show where a guy turns into a motorcycle keep making me feel things

#kamen rider w #kamen rider double #they pulled similar stuff to this in revice and fourze #but this whole episode still hit me so hard #also i think shotaro might be a contender for my favorite main rider so far #like i love gentaro with all my heart but i feel so much for this funny detective man

by pure evil accident taob zuko's current mental state is the exact same as the one ive been stuck in for the past few weeks and that's a bit funny to me. like i started writing this chapter months ago and knew what i was doing with it even longer ago and suddenly ive manifested it into reality. we are both facing the horrors rn

#when the angry character finally learns to acknowledge their rage not as its own problem but as a coping mechanism to the problem #& faces at once the relief of finding the source of all this anger & the horror of realising that the anger itself was never the final boss #and it leaves them in a depressive state where they actually MISS the anger because at least that was active and - in a sense - dignified #whereas this just feels stilted and mopey and like each day is passing and you're losing time doing nothing #but you cant shake it anyway and wow im no longer talking about zuko!!!! we stay embarassing ourselves over taob!!!! #like i realised just now while staring off into space stirring my tea that the reason this particular depressive episode has hit me so hard #(aside the fact it's been a pretty extreme one and my paranoia has rlly flared up to the point ive felt honest to god CRAZY lately haha) #is because it's so DIFFERENT to how i usually respond to feeling like this #like normally my temper gets very quick and i completely isolate and i get mean and sharp #and i convince myself that everyone is out to get me and/or hates me and therefore i must manipulate everyone in my life #and ofc NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE A GOOD RESPONSE. I AM NOT PROUD OF THEM #THEY ARE ALSO NOT NEARLY AS BAD AS HOW I USED TO BE HENCE I KNOW I AM GETTING BETTER #SLOWLY PAINFULLY WITH MY NAILS DIGGING IN THE DIRT BUT I AM GETTING BETTER ALL THE SAME #but STILL despite how awful those things are they're also very external. like i hurt the people around me in order to protect myself #and there's a dignity to that. there's more control there even if ultimately it's a lack of control causing it #like i have some fucked opinions from my upbringing and ik that like im quite a selfish person and it's bc i was raised to truly believe #that hurting others is always optimal over letting myself be seen as weak. like if my options are to hurt someone even someone i love #or let myself be vulnerable then sometimes i STILL will pick the former (it used to be all the time though <3 progress is progress) #and anger has always been sold to me as a very dignified STRONG emotion and it's how you're SUPPOSED to respond to badness #otherwise you're weak and a baby and pathetic etc etc #and just bc you know something is wrong doesnt mean you didnt internalise the fuck out of it anyway #like i will always see anger as the 'dignified' emotion and unlearning it regardless of that has been one of the hardest things ive done #('wow hella your own journey with mental illness is the literal exact same as taob zuko's-' i will hospitalise the both of us) #whereas currently ive just been sad and pathetic and oversharing to anyone who will listen and desperate for someone to look at me #and be like 'you're not okay' and to fix it FOR ME. like im not ANGRY im SAD and im not used to that response #AND GUESS WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS THIS CHAPTER BY PURE FUCKING COINCIDENCE?? LITERALLY WHAT #like it's been happening for a few chapters that we're finally moving from anger to sadness on my unofficial healing chart #ever since zuko's outburst with hakoda when zi se had that tantrum #but this is the first time we see Sad Coping Mechanism as a response to a problem instead of Angry Coping Mechanism #taob updates

not people on reddit saying episode 5 of tlou was better than episode 3 because episode 3 was too “sentimental” while episode 5 captured the brutality of the game as though a huge part of what made episode 3 great wasn’t the fact that it was an unexpected spot of beauty and tenderness and love in the middle of an otherwise bleak story the same way bill and frank’s town was an oasis of peace and comfort in a harsh world

#to be clear this is not at all a universally held reddit opinion but i’m shocked by how many people are saying episode 5 is better than 3 #i thought episode 5 was like….. good but not anything groundbreaking no pun intended #also the tonal contrast between the two episodes was very intentional #the despair of ep5 wouldn’t hit as hard without the sweetness of ep3 and vice versa #i think some people are still just looking to see their favorite moments from the game brought to life #and that’s fine but as a non-game player i don’t have that same attachment to things like the bloater or the sniper nest #it admittedly doesn’t help that while i knew things ended badly for sam and henry #i didn’t know exactly what happened until it was spoiled for me only hours before the episode came out #so i spent the whole episode just waiting for it to happen and didn’t get to be shocked by it #the last of us

first love (2022)

inspired by the 2022 film first love that jdrama was soooo good it had me bawling my eyes because well. i was an emotional mess trying to get through a break up (i still am babe 😍) but fuck it;s such a good drama i'm still listening to the song on repeat too BC ITS JUST S??#?$?#@?$@#

and the whole thing with first loves and the heartbreak from it all is just something i know all too well at the moment ............ but at least i'm not posting something miserable i have too many stupid unfinished doodles within that genre of gi doodles 😂😂😂😂

this is again anotehr tumblr exclusive art post for now.... i know kazuxiao basically doesn't exist here but it just reminds me of the simpler times that was kazuxiao twt in 2021 so it's. it's nice.

#kazuxiao #genshin impact #kaedehara kazuha #xiao #i draw skrunkly #let's not talk about how my style changed 3849802542 times in this #im still trying to get used to my ipad but i ultiamtely ended up finishing this on csp #PROCREATE JUST DOESNT HIT THE SAME WAY #gradient maps are so hard to use in procreate like. csp always wins #anyway can you tell im miserable #the last episode made me cry like a fucking baby #I WAS LIKE FULL ON SOBBING CRYING #(for many different reasons i shall not name)

Wait a minute. I just thought back to my child psych ward days and good golly gosh did they. commit a lot of hmmm,, medical malpractice,, that might've had some effect on my psyche

#they put me in an adult high security psych ward at 14 didn't give me any therapy instead they got me hooked on benzos #they didn't have enough nurses so whenever nore than one patient was having an Episode they'd just tranq everyone and put em in the cage bed #fun fact this was the same hospital where Hans Asperger did his thing #at a different hospital i was yet again in an adult ward as a minor in which i received no therapy and spent all day alone in my room #i stopped taking my meds at some point and they did nothing until it triggered my first and only psychotic episode #this was 2014 so it was fnaf themed :/ #those same guys would just let me weigh myself whenever and didn't stop me until i was weighing myself like six times a day #omg i remember now one time i came to the nurse's office because i was dizzy and weak and basically passed out as soon as i walked in #hit my head pretty hard but i woke up to them just berating me for passing out? #AND IN THAT SAME WARD some grown ass man flashed me (STILL 14) and when i told the doctor they made ME move wards #which obv includes switching doctors and treatment plans because why would the two wards communicate with each other #brooo #there was actually so much fucked up shit going on? #ganja's diary
