Buttercups and Golden Flowers
#i drew this mostly because i noticed that a lot of people mistake buttercups and golden flowers as being the same thing.#so i wanted to try drawing them like. distinctly different in the same image.#it's not a big thing but i do think the fact that they're different has some significance. or at least like. symbolic meaning.#my art#undertale#chara#chara dreemurr#safeutdr#something about the fact that they both look similar at least in color but one of them is poisonous.#the way golden flowers are clearly a positive symbol throughout the game and clearly heavily associated with Chara.#contrasted with the very negative connotations buttercups have. with asgore getting sick and chara using them in their plan.#you never see buttercups in the game. which makes it even easier to mistake the two. because we've only seen one kind of#golden/yellow flower. who's to say 'golden flowers' aren't just referring to buttercups? well.#why would there be golden flower tea if they were poisonous? why would chara want to see the golden flowers from their village if they're#the same kind of flower? they clearly have buttercups in the underground.#it feels almost intentional the way golden flowers are so easily mistaken for buttercups. or at least that the difference is so subtle.#it goes well with the way they're associated so strongly with chara who's also a very subtle yet important part of the narrative.#from a surface-level perspective the flowers that took their life and the one's they actually like/are important to them are the same thing#but when you pay closer attention to the narrative you can see the different symbolic meanings.#well. uhh I've thought about it too much don't mind me.#see i think about it from the perspective of chara being super adamant about them being two different flowers#and frustrated when anybody gets it wrong. because clearly. CLEARLY they're not the same.#'STOP confusing buttercups and golden flowers. i literally used buttercups to kill myself do you think i would still like them after that?'#'do you think i want to be associated with them? they're not the same!!'#<number one golden flower enjoyer number one buttercup hater.#i need a badge that says 'i have strong opinions about chara dreemurr because i kin them. i apologize for the wall of text' at this rate.

FAMINE: That's one deep, dark nothing you've got there, Dean.
[youtube with closed captions]
dean and his father. dean and his family. dean and how bad it is.
Tumblr media
(via @closetoyou1970)
#spn#vid#mind the warnings on this one for real#woe! fruit of my rewatch be upon ye.#pallas calls this my 'deangirl coming out vid' which honestly. true. but those who paid attention know i've always been a deangirl.#also. after this no more deanwinchester rilo kiley amvs I Pwomise#anyway. i'm not gonna give a full commentary here but a big reason why i chose this song is that the narrator#is essentially dismissing her own problems and instead watching the problems of someone else#and i kind of wanted to play with that theme. this is the parallels show so let's do some parallels. lots of things happen to characters#that are Like Dean somehow. either in personality or circumstance. that we know or can infer happen to him. but we don't see it bc it's#not sayable. not speakable. so like for an easy one. we see meg being tortured in caged heat. she also talks about apprenticing under#alastair just like dean. so i show her being tortured [in a way that is sexualized and demon-specific] and reacting how she does#because i invite the audience to imagine or interpret that this has also happened to dean at some point. we just don't see it#so there are many dean parallels in this video. some obvious. some subtle but textual. some products of my twisted mind. but that's the way#i am using them to make my argument.#oh also: dean voice sam's eyes going black is JUST like when he used to fight with dad and wouldn't listen to me when i told him not to.#i guess also the point is that because it's unsayable. dean can't say it. dean can't even acknowledge it. and so it bleeds through#into everything in his life#that's why it's important that the song narrator doesn't take her own problems seriously. dean doesn't either.

one of my favorite things about pride and prejudice is that in the last third of the book Elizabeth’s internal monologue about Darcy is her admitting that she’s in love with him but also putting all sorts of qualifications around that statement that kind of ...tamp down the level of emotion (the “feelings, if not as tender as Jane’s for Bingley, at least as just” line, even the whole thing about her and Darcy being well-matched objectively speaking) and as soon as she’s engaged you get the unbridled joy in the narrative about her own joy, cc: “I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh.”

there’s something so personal about the scene in fantasy high s1e7 where gorgug calls himself stupid & fabian, who up to that point had basically entirely been acting like the bad kids (especially gorgug) were beneath him & had also been the one calling ragh stupid two lines ago, instantly says “okay, do not put yourself down like that. don’t you dare do that to yourself.” like it was obvious he liked the bad kids at that point but the instinct to protect his friends manifesting as an immediate strong refusal of gorgug’s self-deprecating talk kills me. that boy loves his friends so bad oh my god i feel sick.
#fabian seacaster#fantasy high#gorgug thistlespring#these two specifically are so dear to me#top 5 most underrated fh dynamic the girls that get it get it#acts of service (gorgug) meets words of affirmation (fabian)#spring break i believe in you. i hand you an orange. you never hug me / shut up.#THE TENDERNESSSS#it’s about gorgug fixing the hangman & fabian having no idea how to repay him other than saying ‘i’m gonna buy you an orange.’#when fabian a year ago had an insecurity about buying other people things bc he thought they’d just use him for that.#it’s about gorgug’s tin flower that’s tattooed on his arm being both symbolic of his roots & deeply tied to his relationship with fabian#it’s about ​fabian being the reason gorgug was in that fateful detention in the first place.#& gorgug being the first person to see fabian again in the nightmare forest.#all the bad kids are tied by destiny but god. fabian & gorgug you are so tied by destiny.#anyways i will not lie this far into my tags i expect nothing but in another universe they would be the slow burn of all time. to me.#it is so subtle & casual but there is so much love there it makes me kinda crazy.#but either way my beloveds who i think have helped bring out the best parts of one another but who r also both soooo lame (affectionate).#also i think it’d be funny if a) gorgug was the final bad kid to join the giant family tree via dating fabian#and b) telemaine was eventually gorgug’s grandather in law. can u imagine.#thistlecaster#fabigug#whichever one it is idk idc#they r just so gentle :(#UPDATE sorry i stopped right when this happened to write this whole post & literally like 5 minutes later gorgug has that idea to look at-#zayne’s pearl & his hunch isn’t right but fabian IMMEDIATELY jumps back in with ‘it’s moments like these that prove you’re smart’ GODSDD#when the fabian & gorgug dynamic hits it truly hits. besties/bfs ever i can’t decide they r simply so great

listen. my guilty pleasure is those merthur fics where merlin is handed over to foreign lords and they get violent and then arthur finds out and goes apeshit. love it. so fun. but what i think is so funny is that like,,, merlin would punch back. maybe not realistically, maybe he’d restrain himself, but spiritually merlin is throwing hands. i just think its funny bc in like all the fics ive read merlin is the personification of 🥺 over it

watched one of those vry melodramatic (im sorryy ok its just spoken too dramatically for me lol) cr analysis videos with no expectations but actually interesting take in one about caduceus and how he is kind and respectful and a caretaker as like , core values, but underneath is also so angry at the injustices he encounters once he has actually left his home. and i just think that is interesting and a different (but accurate) way of thinking about his reaction to things. like, finding out what ikithon did, fjord being killed before his purpose was fulfilled, innocent people getting hurt in more powerful peoples (eg: the dynasty and empires) conflicts etc, all times when he got so quietly angry . v cool read of the character 2 me

fruity four is like "STEDDIE!!! oh well and yeah steve's lesbian sidekicks I guess"
YUUUUPPP.
and i mean. we're used to that with robin unfortunately (she's been fulfilling the spot as steve's gay mentor in many people's hornygrove's fanfictions :/) and that's frustrating in and of itself (according to rr, she's literally JUST found out she's a lesbian a year or so ago and has told exactly One person. girl she wouldn't know what bisexuality is) but it's also very frustrating w nancy
because many fruity four enjoyers don't even like nancy. and/or don't include her in general with fruity four and only ever talk about eddie, robin and steve. they either hate her for "breaking steve's heart" in s2 (steve hurt her more than she ever hurt him. Btw) or they just don't include her because, maybe subconsciously, she isn't "queer enough" for them.
n that last one is it's own can of worms but it's just so fascinating to me how they consistently treat ronance, robin, and nancy like shit, all in different ways. it's like. they were tryna speedrun the "how badly can you treat female characters" speedrun

bad news, mustache, I don't know how to draw you, so you'll have to go.
FH: Rebirth version of Ricardo Ortega.
Modified version of the last one *smh*.
Don't mind my babbling on him and Cy in Rebirth under the cut.
Talking vague about spoiler-ish stuff just in case.
Good thing there is an actual time line on this. Let's see:
Upon capture Cyrus’ first feelings wouldn’t be anger at Ortega for not coming for him. In his head, as usual, he fucked up and now Ricardo’s suffering over a lost friend (sure Cy has low self-esteem, but he’s not daft, he knows how attachment works, he knows Ortega would hurt over both Anathema and him). So self-bashing is the first resort.
It would be various types of feelings after that going in circles. From fear over whether they told Ortega who Cy was, to anger over no one coming for him, to shame over not telling Ricardo the truth.
So when he escaped, Cyrus decided he’s not bothering Ortega who seemed to have moved on and good for him. He missed Ortega tho. A lot.
So meeting in the diner was… nice. And scary. Cause Cyrus physically can’t outright lie to Ortega.
Cyrus should’ve been annoyed for being dragged to HQ to help the team (god knows, I’m still pissed at the “Omg, my best friend who I thought dead for 7 years, you are alive! C’mon, I have a job for you!” behavior), but Cyrus was a) terrified b) too used to the role of a tool
So he couldn’t push back, and annoyance for being used like that came later. Which he showed during their next meeting. But still gave the bastard a hug. Couldn’t help it.
Never the less, walk in the park lead to an argument (fuck, I love that scene) and even though Cyrus simmered down, he gave Ortega nothing and left. Because let’s be honest, any info he’d give at that point would lead to even more questions, that would compromise Cy’s secrets.
Behind the secrets lies the truth and there are two possible outcomes to it:
being accepted for who he is, which sounds nice and wholesome
the only person he cares about turning away from him
And the later one would be absolutely unbearable. Just thinking about it brings about so much terror. To the point he’d literally die first before risking seeing the actual outcome on that coin flip.
Can’t see Cyrus going anywhere close to the big truth around Ortega. He'd rather just stay away.
Cy’s secret crush is such spice when he has to interact with Ortega through Eden. For Cyrus to see what it’s like to be on the receiving end of Ricardo’s interest, with (almost) no obstacles in the way...
He doesn’t like that he has to be in someone else’s body for it though.
One thing for sure, he doesn’t feel the persistent fear around Ortega when he’s in Eden. So fighting Ortega in earnest was… cathartic.
Plus, no confusion, where they stand. He was just an enemy. And a good fight. The only one who posed a problem.
Too bad Ortega is a stubborn bastard. Being free of some of the basic fears, Cyrus didn’t hold back.
Neither in combat nor in words. A moment of hesitation lead to a heartfelt monolog. Which brought Cyrus enough anger to finally knock the man out.
He regretted beating him up so badly, of course. Went to the hospital (to get another reason to beat himself over, I guess) and couldn’t help but give him a peck on the forehead. Which, apparently, gives Ortega too much room for assumptions.
I imagine it’s gonna get really complicated
if Ortega can help it

if a vegetarian vampire drinks human blood, do their powers become stronger? (since generally vampires are stronger when they drink human blood?)
I’m thinking of this in the context of jasper’s curse, that he claims the emotions of his “prey”/victims make feeding unpleasant, but wouldn’t eating people enhance his ability, increasing his suffering? like a fucked up little positive feedback loop
yes! Edward mentions it in Chapter 14 of Eclipse:
"Human blood makes us the strongest, though only fractionally. [...] That's why [newborn vampires] are so strong, of course. The newborns are full of human blood - their own blood, reacting to the change. It lingers in the tissues and strengthens them."
human blood increases the intensity of Jasper's gift/curse, perhaps a detectable amount but not a crippling amount. i'm sure the loss of self-control/discipline/mental acuity that veggie vamps seem to have would also adversely affect Jasper's ability to control his gift.
stupid idiot boyloser in his fucked up little feedback loop :) get fucked

hi dumb messy little fic thing
Silence. The boys are in a shitty car Hajime was given by the Future Foundation. One Izuto Kamukura is sleeping silently in the backseat with a Hajime-sized red hoodie draped over him haphazardly.
Things are wordlessly tense. Despite the smaller boy showing no signs of waking up anytime soon, Hajime can feel what can only be described as the watchful eye of a predator stalking it’s prey.
“…Hinata” Izuto murmured, voice cracking from a clear lack of use.
“OH uh…morning?” Hajime responded, unease creeping it's way into his tone.
“It’s 12:56”
Hajime turns to the car’s broken clock, it's cracked screen barely glowing at all, let alone displaying the time.
“How can you — oh uh, yeah”
Silence slowly gripped the small car once again, it's claws making it almost hard to breathe. That is, until Hajime once again heard a noise from the backseat.
“Is it like you wanted?”
“Huh?”
“You were in the reserve course. You mentioned you used to be fixated on talent and more specifically, your inherent lack.”
“Oh, yeah, you were watching the game with her, weren’t you”
“You would be hard pressed to find someone who didn’t watch the game.”
“Hahah yeah, Junko was… a lot of things, but she definitely seemed to have had a strong effect on others. I mean, you have Mukuro and whatever was going on there, and you have the remnants—“
“You’re avoiding the question”
“What?”
“I asked you a question. I expect an answer”
“Oh yeah uh…I guess? It’s a lot more pressure then I thought it would be” Hajime couldn't help but let out an awkward laugh, his own desperate attempt at lightening the tension that the two had been drowning in.
“Elaborate”
“Why are you so interested in this? I thought everything was boring to you, Mr. God-among-ants.”
“Those are Enoshima’s words, not mine. You intrigue me, Hinata. I want to learn more about you and your psyche.”
“How am I interesting? What, are you gonna make fun of the octagon thing?”
“You’re a fellow Ultimate Hope, it’s only natural for me to want to investigate this talent in the wild. It’s hard to use yourself as a test subject for something so rare. Be glad I haven’t decided to dissect you yet.”
“Har har, good joke mr ultimate comedian”
...
“If you’re going to ignore my initial question, I have decided to move on”
“…ok?”
“What do you think they’re going to do with me?”
“What?”
“This is the second fastest route to the Future Foundation’s headquarters. What do you believe your superiors will do when you hand me over.”
“Oh well…they’ll probably put you on trial, and hold you accountable for your crimes.”
“Despite your overall...lack of abnormality, you’re smart, Hinata. You read the reports on what the academy did to me, and you know just how many of that staff was carried over to the Future Foundation. I was built to be a weapon. Do you truly think they could allow such a powerful resource to rot in a cell?”
“Well…”
“What do you think they’ll do when they get their hands on the remnants?”
“Wh-“
“What will happen to them, Hinata?”
“I-“
“What will happen to Nanami’s friends?”
“I DONT KNOW”
Hajime didn't mean to yell but it came out that way despite his intentions.
Silence ensues. Hajime assumes that Izuto has fallen asleep and lets out a sigh. He focuses on driving them for a while. That is until he hears an odd noise come from the back seat.
“Kamukura, what—“ he looks back to find tears falling from Izuto’s face
“I’m-” His voice gets caught on the way out.
“I’m scared, Hajime”
“I…”
Hajime turned to look Izuto in the eyes, he had never before seemed so. mentally present.
“…I won’t let them hurt you”
“…”
“Or the remnants.”
Izuto looks up at him, clarity shining through his eyes for a flicker of a blink of a moment.
“I promise”
“….”
Hajime turns his attention back to the road but he finds himself struggling to focus. They sit in silence for a beat. Izuto's voice is startlingly clear as he flatly states:
“If you truly want to keep your promise, you should watch where you’re driving”
“Wh—OH MY GOD”
Hajime then sharply swerves the wheel and very VERY narrowly misses one incredibly pissed Nagito Komaeda

one of my fave things about teaching is that I’m NOT a counselor and I don’t have to get into the weeds with a student but also I’m part of their life every day and i see when they’re struggling and I can ask how them how they’re doing and make sure that they know I see them on a steady, daily basis and it will be healing for both of us

i've kind of been thinking about the unwhitewashing edits i do on the winx source,, over the years, multiple people have outright said that they sometimes skip over posts where i fix their skin tone because they see the art style (s8, wow, etc) and immediately assume it's whitewashed then realize it's not after seeing it's the source blog or the caption and it's making me think,,, that's probably a big reason why so many people in the fandom constantly reblog/support whitewashed fanart. it's like they're not even seeing the skin tone, they're just seeing the art style and the character?
