#WHERES THE SPLENDOR

[lnane]

WHY DOES EVERYONE PLAY THE SAME FUCKING DINOSAUR COMMANDER PLAY SOMETHING FUN INSTEAD FUCK

#YEA ITS GOOD BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN ITS FUN TO PLAY #YOU DO THE SAME THING EVERY SINGLE TIME #EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU #YOU RAMP TO GET IT OUT YOU HIT AND THEN YOU GOT AN ARMY OF DINOS THAT ALL DO BULLSHIT THINGS #WHERES THE DIVERSITY #WHERES THE SPLENDOR #WHERES THE SHOWMANSHIP #BE FUN. STOP DOING THAT

[rhera]

Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower, We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind;

SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS (1961, dir. Elia Kazan)

okay but. he's missing something pretty. he's missing where the air tastes gritty. he's missing the splendor and misery of bodies, of cities, of being missed. ough

Every single JS novel follows the same blueprint of Jane being appalled and horrified at Thomas More’s execution in 1535, she cannot believe evil skanky AB ~made~ Henry do this…. and then by May 1536 she’s always chilling in Chelsea (More’s house which was seized by the crown) like… tehe.

#it’s not even dissonance so much as lack of continuity? #like I understand why they lean in so hard to the same emotional blueprint of her reasons for #her involvement in ousting the Boleyns from power #but like somehow she’s always over this horror and not feeling the slightest bit of guilt or even uneasiness #about being served and kept in such splendor in the literal place which was the more family home ? #it’s … sommmething #*religious / emotional #disclaimer that this is about fictional iterations not the actual historical person #so hope off my dick #altho i am genuinely curious over what she might have felt about it … #about both that is. his downfall and her being lodged there with that sort of dark legacy hovering #I’m rewatching the Thomas more centered episodes in s2 #I can’t even remember if they mention Chelsea is where she’s stay in the s2 finale … idts ?

I hate that so many people just assume that if you don't hail G*rwig as the second coming of Christ you're antifeminist or at the very least a spoilsport who hates for fun and dislikes anything.

(A similar thought happens with one tsw*ft I also find)

Literally I knew nothing about her before she burst into my consciousness with Hot Takes like "you know what Little Women needed? to be more DISJOINTED and #RELATABLE" and "cottagecore style is a more Authentic vision of the 1860s than actual 1860s clothing."

I would like to go back to that blissful state of unawareness, but here she comes again with "BARBIE WAS THE FIRST-EVER FASHION DOLL. A SPECIFIC CORPORATION THAT NOW HAS MORE MONEY THAN GOD INVENTED DOLLS SHAPED LIKE ADULTS. DO NOT QUESTION THIS."

#ask #anon #seriously I was going to just ignore the Barbie movie because there are like...five Barbie types I actually care about #(1-3 + the Haunted Beauty line + Faberge Imperial Splendor specifically) #but goddamnit there just HAD to be a Cold History Take involved in this completely non-historical movie #didn't there? #I wouldn't have been so mad about the LW19 costumes if not for all the masturbatory interviews where she #and the designers were like “mmm so AUTHENTIC so HISTORICAL so much RESEARCH” #which. can't play the Nobody Thinks It's Accurate card if the team is in fact claiming accuracy! for their bullshit!

i don't always draw boyf riends but when i do. uh. i don't have a joke for this actually

#warmup doodle before i get to the Teenage Rockstar Splendor (provisional title) band au <333 #hope this makes up for my recent lack of interest in boyf riends #i started out as a multishipper (and i still am i guess??) but my shipping preferences have changed over time #now i'm heavily fixated on a select few ships (namely richjake pinkberry uhh royal pains stagedorks) #so. idk where i'm going with these tags just wanted to get it out there. sorry if you followed me for a ship i barely post about 😔 #bmc #be more chill #boyf riends #michael mell #jeremy heere #when you gaze into the abyss's art

sorry star wars is my new archie sonic

#long sprawling mess of a canon that retcons itself into a glorious mess of worldbuilding and cycles of growth and decay #and then funny guy saves the day ! #so so funny to me that OG star wars (e4 ANH) was just a silly little derivative hero-saves-the-princess story #and then lucas reverse engineered DESTRUCTION OF A GALAXY WIDE SOCIETY BY ONE GUY PLAYING BOTH SIDES OF A WAR THAT COST MILLIONS OF LIVES #from a single line saying ‘i served with your father in the clone wars’ #like a) clone wars as a phrase. without knowing what it means now. fascinating worldbuilding tidbit i wonder where they’re going with it #b) the OG movie handles the force like it’s *genuinely* a rare mysterious thing no one’s ever heard of. jedi really ARE rare wizards like #arthurian legend n shit. and since then that’s been completely changed into a once galaxy spanning religious order that adopt/rescued #children who were different and kept the peace of a galaxy for better of for worse (h. hey you think more kids had to be taken the more #palpatine + his sith rebirth grew in power bc the darkness welling made it more unsafe and harder for an untrained kid to manage -> more li #ely to lash out -> more likely to be kicked out/abandoned/mistreated unrelated anyway) #c) the OG movie presents the empire as terrifying and unstoppable and then the prequels completely recon it as a shadow of its former self #limping along in a mockery of the republic’s splendor with the remnants of their ships and armies with shittier training and shittier soldi #hm. this is not what this post was about . oops #posts from a galaxy far far away

Hod is particularly fond of bad jokes and puns considering the fact the current Captain of the Training Team, Amaryllis just tosses them out left and right. She genuinely finds them funny and sadly she's the only Sephirah to think so

#//Amaryllis is the default for my girl #//in verses where someone else is Captain she does not have this love of cheesy jokes and puns #splendor's benevolence;HOD #chess pieces' information;ABOUT

#accidentally got into a bit of an argument with my sunday school teacher/youth group leader this morning #(tho I didn't see it as an argument? more of a difference of opinions? slash-me asking for clarification on his points #and opinions on mine? #but my sisters said it felt like I was arguing so. *helpless shrug* that wasn't the intention really) #but the subject was about heaven/the christian's true home #and he was saying that the descriptions of glory and splendor in Revelation (streets of gold/foundations of the city/12 gates/etc) #are all real literal actual descriptions of heaven and that's where we'll open our eyes as soon as we die #and as I'm leaning more and more into 'revelation is largely a prophetic vision and we should be careful not to take too much of it #too literally' lately #I was saying that 'heaven' as we call it is the state of being returned to perfect unity with God + the New Creation #which will be brought about after the end of days #and. yeah. #now I'm largely just confused lol #because it just seems to me like saying 'yeah as soon as I die I'm gonna wake up in a MANSION and there's gonna be JEWELRY EVERYWHERE #and GOLD STREETS and ALL THESE VERY SPECIFIC SYMBOLIC ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES #is... slightly missing the point??? #I personally find it far more hopeful and attractive to say tbh idk what it's gonna be like when I open my eyes on the other side of death #BUT I know that God is going to bring me back!! I will be resurrected in a new body with a new purpose in a new *world* #and it will be every single thing I love about this world but BETTER!!! no death!! no sorrow!!! no pain!! perfect undistracted fulfillment #of my callings!!! a wonderful fantastic beautiful unbroken world and //I// will get to live in it and help cultivate it!!!! #and actually this may be a bit of a rabbit trail but I wonder why the churches I've grown up in don't seem to care that much #about the New Earth? they're all like 'YEAH HEAVEN :D :D :D GOLD STREETS 'N PEARLY GATES :D :D :D' #but never 'hey did you know that all the horrible ways we've destroyed this wonderful place that we live in now will be undone? #and we'll come back to earth but it'll be just like it was in the Garden???? isn't it cool that as much terrible stuff we inflict on #ourselves and others and God's beautiful work of creation it's STILL not more than God can redeem and remake and restore???' #bc that message seems a lot more inspiring to me? not just escapism but restoration and reclamation? #idk. I wish I had people to actually discuss these sorts of spiritual things with around... #maybe I'll find them at college... I really hope I do... #tag ramble #christianity

what is amazon afraid of? that their númenoreans and specifically their main characters of a ruling house will look TOO extra? THE MOST ADVANCED MIDDLE EARTH HUMAN CIVILIZATION OF ALL TIME? THERE IS NO LIMIT. go WILD. go BIG OR GO HOME.

#absolutely dripless asldkfj #sauron is gonna be overawed by the technological advancement of their little market stands lsdkjflksdf #they look just fine for medieval aristocracy but where's the ancient egyptian SPLENDOR? ✨ #that being said i think isildur is gonna be my fave #amazon lotr #lotr on prime #tolkien #silmarillion #numenor #the rings of power

i swore to never watch mysterious skin because

1. it's araki's most popular film

2. its about csa which i never do well with in movies

3. people constantly posting that gif of the girl dancing from the movie just annoyed the fuck out of me like i know i haven't seen the movie but i know the ppl posting that gif once a month haven't either

4. i prefer araki when he is giving me cool low budget b movie trash. it seems as though mysterious skin is not that

#but im tempted to watch it but I've also heard ppl say that mysterious skin put them off any of araki's other work #which is a shame cause rarely do ppl every talk abt araki beyond mysterious skin its only recently that totally fucked up and #the doom generation started joining the convo. even the living end. and nowhere.... don't get me started on nowhere #splendor is that one movie nobody remembers araki made. and kaboom is the movie that made john waters say araki isn't weird anymore #or was it the white bird blizzard movie.... 🤔 #i almost forgot the weed movie with anna faris. the one where she gets so high and says garfield the cat was her fave president

[oldfashionedmorphine]

ha

#seeing a gif of splendor in the grass just sent me back 14 years to that one class #where i did a group project where we interpreted scenes and acted them out on video… #we could have done anything else and decided to make a short film why 😭 #when I tell you I was dressed like a hooker next to a Walgreens

omg you *handshake* me: drawing instead of doing homework we are sooo the same right now we should. we should be bestest friends about this

hiiii tobi I hope you have fun with your drawing!!

sharking your hand so hard rn bestie because!! yeah i DO have a presentation I need to do tomorrow that I haven't started yet. But I want to draw my funky little guys.

And that's so silly bc we totally are the bestest of friends abt this. forget shaking your hand i'm holding your hand as we draw. this works because i'm a lefty and so we can both draw with our dominant hands as we hold the opposing hands. (assuming you are right-handed.)

If you are not into touch then I am emotionally supporting you in a different state :)

anyway. hiiii quil i hope that YOU are having a fun time with YOUR drawing!!!

#caps tw #asks #quil tag <33 #that is a lie actually i have started my presentation. but i have to start it over and that is :(( so much work :(( #so instead im drawing elwin!! messing around w his ethnicity yk yk as you do #trying to figure out where the fuck he is and getting nowhere. like yeah splendor plains is in the north. #but like. #i don't know what shannon is going for here on the map. #is it supposed to be svalbard?? greenland or iceland??? upper nunavut??? #idk but it sure as hell is confusing. #might just pick one of those countries randomly and go w something to do w/ there #or i might go with my lovely hc that elwin is from mysterium which. cuba!!! #either way having a difficult but fun time avoiding hw and hoping you are doing the same

[mlentertainment]

rewatched Nope on the bus today. still fucks hard

#the notch on jj's outer rim is where its eye sits normally right. has that been established elsewhere #figured that out on the third view bc now i can focus on the details of her build instead of nearly crying at her splendor #nope 2022 #personal

[sanriosratz]

woah omg a non-kagekao & co./yuki & co. hc? what has the world come to?!?!

Splendorman makes everything and every one a friend! like, she could see a spider in a web and that’s a friend! a lonely broken concrete slab? friend! the new weed that has grown in their garden? friend! everything is friend!

#there have been countless times where Splendor has tried to touch something that shouldn’t be touched (because new friend!) #and has had to be told to not touch it #or if he does touch it #he gets a telling off #creepypasta #splendorman #splendor man #splenderman #splender man
