#The Altogether probably

[houseswife]

I love how neferiously hugh laurie delivered his lines in that 5x1 scene where house is blackmailing wilson. because the dialogue could’ve been conveyed in a manner that was obviously facetious and unserious (like the way RSL was playing the scene: “You’d jeopardise a patient—? 😒🙄) but he literally chose to go “If it keeps you here😈👹” in the most deadass, diabolical tone. so the result is that we have house sounding like a genuine psychopath as he threatens to let a woman die and then wilson proving he’s an even BIGGER one by responding with, like, mild exasperation at best. 10/10 dynamic no notes

#I know I yap about this 24/7 but I can’t get over it #I feel like the actors being on such wildly different wavelengths when it comes to hilson is what makes it so REAL #barring the true angst of the early seasons #they’re in different genres altogether sometimes. chef’s kiss #house will say something in a way that is honest to god giving dark romance #and then wilson responds with the air of bugs bunny #and that’s the essence of their characters and relationship as a whole #and probably why they’ve been trapped in a game of gay chicken for 20 years #house md #hilson #house/wilson #greg house #gregory house #james wilson #hatecrimes md #does this make grammatical sense? I am running on redbull adderall and 2 hours of sleep so I truly have no clue #and by grammatical sense I mean tumblr-wise of course #is it coherent? should be the question #actually don’t tell me. ion wanna know

Was sick in bed all day so ofc I had to shove my dilemma upon these two (Joe promised to drop off her homework in exchange for her actually staying home for once </33)

#your turn to die #yttd #yttd fanart #fanart #joe tazuna #sara chidouin #joesara #joe will probably catch whatever illness sara has soon enough #he does not mind #sara will though #I hc joe to either ignore his illness altogether or to be the most dramatic sick person ever #there is no in between #I love them

Heads up/warning that I'm going to start posting articles related to the Israel-Palestine War

I've worked really, really hard to keep my blog about positive news only, and that's going to continue - these posts will be only about good news related to the war.

Of which there really, really isn't much, so I don't know that there will be a lot of posts, but I will be posting articles about humanitarian aid reaching those who need it and actions that will prevent more lives from being taken.

I know that, no matter my position on the war, this is something that would be very controversial and make a lot of people upset, so I wanted to be explicit about my position on this - and my posting policy, which is not the same thing. I also wanted to give people a heads up because I know the war in general is really, really triggering for a lot of people right now, for a lot of different reasons. I'll be tagging all relevant posts, so if screening those out is something that you need to do, you can.

I have worked very hard to make this blog a space with only good news because I know how much it can matter to have just one place, if nowhere else, that you can count on to not give you emotional whiplash with horrible news. To know you have one place you can go where you are guaranteed not to see bad news that will send you into a tailspin. That's why I've had a policy of not including signal boosts or PSAs about tragedies, no matter what they are, on this blog. (I do post about some of that stuff, including the Israel-Palestine War, on my main blog, though. I consider this blog to be me trying to run a public service, basically, and so have specific policies for myself around that, including my editorial and fact-checking standards.)

I'm going to be honest, I was really, really hoping the war would end after a couple of weeks, which has historically not been uncommon for wars with/involving Israel.

But that's clearly not happening, and I can't keep not acknowledging what's happening on here, so, this post.

With that, I imagine people probably want to know my actual stance on the war, since that's what I'll be posting in accordance with.

So, here's the official stance of this blog:

Every time a civilian is killed, it is a tragedy; Every time a child is killed, it is a tragedy, no matter their nationality. I condemn all antisemitism and all Islamophobia.

I support all calls for a ceasefire, as well as demands that Israel immediately stop its repeated bombing of hospitals, ambulances, shelters (including UN shelters), and refugee camps.

There is no situation in which the repeated and/or intentional bombing of hospitals is justified.

There is no situation in which the repeated and/or intentional bombing of shelters or refugee camps is justified.

There is no situation in which the repeated and/or intentional bombing of ambulances is justified.

There is no situation in which the killing of children is justified. Yet more children have now been killed in Gaza than in all global conflict zones combined in each year since 2019.

There is no situation in which cutting off an entire country and/or territory's supply of food and water is justified.

Yes, this applies to every group involved in the war, including countries supplying either side, and any countries or non-state organizations who may yet join the fighting.

The initial Hamas attack on Israel was a tragedy. The continued Israeli bombardment and invasion of Palestine is also a tragedy.

Most of the things I post will be about aid reaching Palestinians or news about tangible, confirmed progress toward a ceasefire. I probably will not be posting good news posts about aid reaching Israel, unless it's explicitly and only humanitarian and/or barring drastic unforeseen changes in circumstance. This is because as of yesterday, November 7, the Palestinian death toll is over 10,000 to Israel's roughly 1,400 (only about 200 of whom have been killed in the past month, starting on October 8, aka outside of the initial attack by Hamas). At least 3,195 children have died in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel.

The Palestinian death toll is nearly 8 times the Israeli death toll. The number of children killed is 110 times higher in Palestine than Israel. (Source for death toll here, ratios via calculator.) Every single one of those deaths is a tragedy - and there have been far, far too many tragedies this past month.

(On a related note, Israel stands very, very little chance of actually eliminating Hamas with this war. The US has attempted this same strategy and failed many times: the US failed to eliminate the communist/North Korean regime in the Korean War, which is technically still ongoing 70 years later; failed to eliminate the Viet Cong in the Vietnam War; failed to eliminate numerous groups of Iraqi insurgents in the Iraq War, which triggered Iraq's civil war; and failed to eliminate the Taliban in the Afghanistan War, even though that war lasted for literally 20 years. Afghanistan is once again under total Taliban control.)

The last thing we need is another 20 year war. The last thing we need is more civilian deaths. Bombing civilian settlements, as well as hospitals, shelters, and refugee camps are war crimes under international law, meaning that both Israel and Hamas have committed war crimes.

It's time for the war crimes to stop.

Humanitarian aid reaching civilians is good news, and I will be posting accordingly.

Ceasefire now.

#also heads up that I'm turning off anon on here because well it seems prudent #I'm not actually going to litigate technicalities numbers or international politics with anyone #I don't plan to talk much more about this aside from the aforementioned posts #including probably not answering any asks #because I really am trying to keep my content based only on good news #any asks that are trolling or threatening or supporting the deaths of any civilians on either side or are obviously in bad faith #will be deleted immediately #which has always been my blog policy btw so that's not anything new #I do actually get a certain number of troll and insulting asks/replies and I just delete them #also I reserve the right to turn off asks altogether but hopefully there won't be any need for that #mostly those happen whenever I have a new anti Trump post #gaza #save gaza #palestinians #isreal #free palestine #gazaunderattack #israel palestine war #international politics #cw child death #tw war #tw war crimes #tw child death #tw bombing #ceasefire #ceasefire now

i couldn't help but laugh at this as soon as i saw this. the controversy couch......

anyways they backtracked & now they're going to use their streaming platform as a place to watch their stuff a month early and ad-free. and patreon members will get a free subscription to the platform instead of the 50% off discount. & also general apologies about the way they dropped the news and the "everyone can afford $6 a month" comment lmfao.

#well. that was fun! #all in all probably the best that could have come out of the whole thing barring getting rid of the platform altogether #like it feels pretty redundant next to how they already use their patreon but idk. #watcher #🛹

Lawlight likers may be an insufferable presence in the fandom to other kinds of Death Note heads, but be serious, how much of the longevity of the fandom do you think this ship is actually responsible for?

#i would venture to say a great deal of the longevity #that's all im sayin hahaha #that being said i dont disagree that its probably quite annoying at times #if youre someone who just finds it like nails on a chalkboard or sthg... #but i feel like a lot of what death note is known and loved and remembered for is this relationship specifically... #remove it from the story/fandom altogether and i dont think it would still be nearly as much of a thing #as it is now even 20 years down the road #lawlight #death note #p

i’ve spent 5 hours drawing ONE. EYE.

#i mean it definitely looks like jensen’s eye but the other one isn’t #the eyebrows though not really #i’m so ready to be done with the eyes. the rest will probably take 5 hours altogether (which is still a LOT but compared to how much i’ve #spent on this already it’s nothing)

I'm in a state between devastation and utter disbelief. I wish we had some kind of explanation at least regarding the cause of his death, I simply can't make sense of it as is. What a precious human we have lost. What a gap he leaves behind. His death feels so violent, yet his last tweet feels so premonitory. I hope he didn't suffer. What will the band become ? Oh God what will Uruha become ? I hope he'll be alright. I hope they'll all be alright. I can't begin to imagine how they must feel. How lucky I am that I met him, twice. How lucky am I that I saw him live in his native country. It shouldn't have been the last times. I cannot process that it is over. This is absurd.

#the GazettE #reita #it isn't like one can be prepared for this kind of thing but #if it makes any sense #HIM dying young out of all the members of this band is what I would have least expected #or most probably in my mind it could happen to anyone except the GazettE #the GazettE has been too important a part of my life for any part of it to stop existing altogether

Loving the Machete and Vasco soft intimate cozy bed time drawing series <3

It's certainly becoming a recurring theme.

#they're just #very sleepy #sorry you'll probably have to look at a whole bunch of soft intimate cozy bedtime drawings in the future as well #answered #anonymous #Machete has issues with insomnia he's prone to working late and when times are particularly tough he ends up avoiding sleeping altogether #I just think it's nice to imagine he'd be more eager to actually go to bed if Vasco's there

Never done this before but I figured I’d get this off my chest. Will probably delete later.

Went on an unexpected hiatus bc of irl stuff, but tbh, I’ve started to feel a little burned out too. I’ve said this before, but I feel like an imposter whenever I make COTL content bc of the way I depict Narinder. It feels like I have a different view of him that contrasts with the popular headcanon.

But truthfully, I didn’t fall in love with this ship as an “enemies to lovers” trope. I grew interested when we first defeat Narinder and he acknowledges his defeat, even as he cursed the Lamb. The fact that his vitriol is confined to insults over the cult decorations, and that he shows hints of remorse over his actions instead of mulling over his lost crown was refreshing for a villain.

Depending on your choices, we even get to see him accept the Lamb as a proper successor when they choose to resurrect the dead. Like he’s just proud to see them continue his legacy (and maybe grateful to have someone else see the value in it.)

Idk, but seeing a final boss act so graceful after defeat was more interesting to me than one who stubbornly held on to grudges. Sure, he was still feisty and haughty, but he wasn’t a sore loser. He wasn’t a constantly fuming edgelord and that’s what made the ship interesting to me.

This topic is probably too complex for me to properly explain my thoughts, but I just needed to say it so it’d stop festering in my head.

To be clear, I don’t think my interpretation should be the *only* one. I do believe everyone has the right to portray him however they want, since fandom is for fun. I guess I’m just feeling a little lonely after scrolling through the tags.

#vent post #tw vent #sorry if i made anyone feel attacked. i promise this isn’t meant to be directed at anyone in particular #im just feeling unusually sad tonight and probably making bad decisions #it’s come to the point where i’ve thought about leaving the fandom altogether so i can stop moping over things i cant control #delete later

Listen hear me out

I am no immune to sapphic creature propaganda AND I like aspec Spearmaster (Demi Romantic Ace)

I was also mostly contemplating how to handle LttM and FP in this au and landed on “Hunter had already delivered the neuron but had a lil more cycles than in game. Met Spearmaster on her way back and saving its life so they go to their iterators together. Spearmaster learns potential friend has illness and doesn’t like that it won’t be cured so goes back out with them to find a cure.” and ended up loving them being a queer platonic couple.

It’s more of an ‘endgame’ kinda deal because Artificer needs to go through some development and therapy - but again. Not immune to murder sapphics.

#rain world #altogether now au #rw spearmaster #rw artificer #rw hunter #artihunter #rw shipping #is there a spearmaster hunter name?? #there probably is but i’m still fresh into the fandom so oop #hunter deserves it too listen #i need to do some silly gjinka doodles still i got distracted by art fight whoops #(i’ve had multiple spearmaster attacks i am going insane yipee!) #gijinka spearmaster being 8’3 and artificer being 6’4 is so funny. hunter is small compared to them #5’11 enby royal badass (that scores other badasses) #it is also funny with #artificer: this is my partner. hunter. and this is hunters partner. spearmaster

whenever im reminded that the magnus protocol starts this fall, a part of me reacts with 'Yaaay! i get to see Jon and Martin again!'

and i have to gently remind that part that, to the extent their voices will even be in the show, it's not gonna be the same jmart i know from tma 😔

#unless they fully go for the fan service and throw away thematic resonance of the tma ending altogether #tmagp #tma #jonmartin #i mean we know the teaser is gonna be canon for tmagp so there is A martin #and ive always loved martin. but i will miss him still if this new martin is more like his s1 self #joos yaps #not literally importing s5 jmart is probably for the best... but i miss them 😢 #tma s5 #tma finale

The newest installment of the Cult AU was so amazing and gratifying! I do have to ask about Dipper's reaction when Bill suggested that next time he hide *in* his bed - should we assume that Dipper just truly doesn't think there's any possibility that Bill would want him like that, or does it potentially reflect some truly non-existent sex ed within the cult? Did the cultists have relationships like that within the cult?

I hope you post this AU and your other shorter works on AO3, id love to be able to bookmark and comment.

Thank you for your kind words!

Dipper's reaction was mostly because the cult had sub-par to non-existent sex ed. Though to be fair, even if he was aware that Bill was, ahem, an option, he definitely wouldn't think there's any way he'd want Dipper like that.

#answers #Dipper's a smart guy who went poking around in forbidden texts #So I think he's probably got an idea of some of the mechanics and anatomy of sex #But a fairly limited amount! #And anything of a non-straight nature would have been just completely off his radar #Various cult members are for sure getting it on in the background of course #Insular communities are like that #But you can also assume that Dipper pretty much was out of the loop there #He didn't get any invites before he was a Blasphemer and definitely none post de-tonguing #What you get there is a sheltered little guy who's whip-smart - but doesn't know what he doesn't know #He might have caught on if he thought to ask the question but he doesn't know there's a question to ask #Pretty bad cult altogether; I'm betting it was Extremely Heteronormative if not outright homophobic #Which like. C'mon. BIll's not even a human gender. What the hell kind of business are they on enforcing *norms* #He'd be very VERY annoyed at that bullshit

you don't like belos redemption aus because you think it's somehow morally wrong to redeem him. i don't like belos redemption aus because i like him fucked up and evil. we are not the same

#by “redemption au” i mean any au that makes him less evil than he is in canon #this is probably why i don't interract with other belos enjoyers very often #it's the ooc for me #i mean i know they're going ooc on purpose. i still don't like it #“what if belos was a good parent” what if he was a completely different character altogether #don't take it personally pls. everyone enjoys fandom in their own way and i'm not the boss of y'all #i just like to complain #fia.post

I think my bg3 game kinda bugged on me because it doesn’t trigger the Astarion romance scene in act 2 EVEN IF I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT AND I EVEN WENT TO LOOK IT UP LATER TO SEE IF MY COURSE OF ACTION WAS WRONG BUT ITS NOT?

I’m sorry, this is stupid, I just really really wanted to romance him, but I don’t wanna go all the way back to act 1 to fix it

#bg3 #baldur’s gate 3 #if it doesn’t work this time either I’ll start a new save altogether #and romance someone else #probably laezel because she’s adorable #and i love her so much #but yeah #fuck you Astarion
