also I honestly believe john slattery is an energy vampire

#wwdits #what we do in the shadows #please look at him #interrupting #not shutting up #flat tone #knows no one cares but keeps talking like it's the most interesting thing in the world #like he ran over someone's foot but will not let the man speak a full sentence #convince me otherwise #john slattery #colin robinson

people seeing gifs of the 15th doctor having gay little moments and going "ohh what's this show? i gotta watch it" is literally ending me not just coz of the concept that anyone can be unaware of doctor who but also bc like. while i do think it's a show ppl should watch in its entirety. DON'T DO IT FOR GAY REP LMAO. like it literally does have a lot of lgbt rep even all the way back in season 1 of 2005 fame but watching 13 seasons of doctor who coz something gay happens in the new eps is like. idk finding out there's a new pride and prejudice adaptation with a gay character in it and going ohhhh that sounds fun:) guess i'll go watch every adaptation ever made

#IT'S SO FUNNY. BABES THIS SHOW IS PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE #im rly glad 15 is getting ppl interested in it dgmw but it's wild coz like. i grew up with this it #really doesn't feel like a Regular Show to me like. that's a whole world #also like it is sooo god damn difficult to watch the entire show in order coz of all the specials #i know all of the eps in order coz im insane but I've been handholding 2 different ppl through #watching it for months now and it's such a challenge LMFAO especially if you dont have bbc iplayer #like yeah yeah the main character has an incredibly important arc no most ppl haven't seen it coz it #happens in some obscure series of specials that's near impossible to find. sorry #anyway. if u wanna watch dr who u should but if you're waiting for him to have a romance with a man uhm. so is everyone else sorry #it's gonna happen this season but like. it has been a Long battle oh my god . ohhmy god #doctor who #15th doctor #nuwho

real talk: lxl should continue to explore romance fantasy concepts in their songs. it’s clearly working for them~

#typical prince aesthetics in romeo/julieta and nonfan… and now historical rofan in meoto… #(and there’s also whatever’s going on in tsuki no hime but that has no mv :( sadge) #sorry guys i still have meoto on the brain pls suffer with me~~~~~~~~~ #but mannnnn. i was struck by sudden inspiration for a meoto au a n d #well. ig now i understand why they skipped over the falling in love phase. romance is hardddd #i want to subscribe to the meoto expansion pack p l s i need to know what their deal is~~~~ #bc man. how in the world did they go from complete indifference to promising to stay together forever hello #what happened???????? excuse??????????? #man. m a n. ok i think im done for the night. i hope #LXL MEOTO CRISIS 2K24 #(but if anyone here wants to get into the otome isekai genre in general… i recommend starting off with ✨s u r v i v i n g r o m a n c e✨ #(it’s a great story and it’s still modernised enough to ease into the genre. and after that…) #(you can just go for the series with the most interesting premise/prettiest art/both tbh) #(though i personally recommend ✨the perks of being an s class heroine✨ ✨the villainess’s stationery shop✨ for milder content) #(and there’s also some series with both isekai and regression.) #(like they isekai after their 1st life in 20xx-> live out their 2nd life in the fantasy world -> regress to a point in their 2nd life) #(for that type i kinda like ✨i shall master this family✨ though ngl i’m mostly reading it bc i think the aunt is very pretty) #(a nd there’s the occasional modern regression story but that’s pretty soap drama-esque and the one i read got ridiculous at times lmao) #(but ofc the ones with less romance focus are fun too~~~~ like stories with multiple isekai-ed people for one) #(b u t i digress i think i’ll stop here before i lose the plot any longer ahaha~~~~)

what's it like being part of arguably the greatest draft class of all time – greatest dallas draft class of all time – with oettinger and heiskanen? so the stars took heiskanen and oettinger in the first round, you in the second round, so it was a very productive draft. is that lost on you, that class? no, I mean, it's, it's — it's truly a special moment, I mean, we always see it, uh, and think about it when it's ever brought up, how special it is. you know, you don't find a franchise goalie, a franchise d-man, and a player … a forward like me in, uh, one round very often. so, um, very — you look back on it now and uh, we hit all of the spots, and six years later we're all pretty, uh … producing, and being big parts of this team. and hopefully and ideally we're gonna be big parts through these, uh — our carers.

#hockey #stars #dallas stars #jason robertson #he is sitting like the world's sweetest & most polite babygirl #but also his thighs are just Out There #something something the duality of man #i will literally never get tired of the 2017 draft class getting asked about each other btw. keep doing it for the next ten years even. #make the special boys talk about how special it is to be in a special little group together! #though to get slightly real about it. i do think it's interesting how much it happens more specifically with jason and jake #& i wonder how much is it that miro came into the league earlier than them so media members had time to see him apart from his matched set #& how much of it is jason and jake having north america specific media training #and being seen specifically by media members as Guys Who Are Good With Media #z:edit

Was kinda interesting watching Aquaman 2 do that thing Hollywood movies do where a villain barks orders in an non-English language to signal to the American audience that they're foreign and scary, except this time the actress doing it was speaking portuguese so I actually understood everything she was saying and it was just weird and abrupt. I guess they just told her to translate and say the lines in her own language but didn't direct her how to adapt the dialogue accordingly, so she ends up just telling the henchmen to pick up a guy in a very stilted formal factual manner while everything's exploding around them, that was kinda funny.

#not criticizing or blaming the actress here she was allright #it's Aquaman 2 nobody was on their a-game here #anyway movie was actually okay #not the worst thing I had occasionally fun times watching it #by the DCEU standards it was actually pretty good #for better or worse it felt way more like a Monsterverse movie for most of it #you can almost exactly pinpoint the scenes made when it was a major blockbuster sequel project #and the ones they made not giving a shit anymore knowing this was their last dance and just having fun with it #plenty of the ones in the latter are even some of the best in the movie #just Momoa and Wilson dicking around Jumanji sets #ending is very schmaltzy and optimistic and you can pick that and the enviromentalist angle #as what Momoa contributed to the writing because it feels very much an actor writing their hero character's finale thing #not complaining about it tho I find that kind of stuff interesting even if it isn't good #I mean why not go with that at this point #fuck it let's rip off a subplot from Black Panther and end with a limp imitation of the Iron Man 1 ending why not #Aquaman Saves the World and Patrick Wilson Eats A Cockroach and that's how the DCEU ends #honestly a more dignified fashion than it ever deserved to end

ok sorry the OTHER thing about lucienne is like. as previously stated she is dream's handpicked emissary from the waking world to the dreaming she's the diplomat in chief she's the translator she's the bridge. because the dreaming is, in a very real way, dream's own psyche, this is tantamount to giving lucienne a tremendous degree of access to his interiority and by transitive property also tantamount to entering into a deeply emotionally intimate relationship with her (unimportant for the purposes of this post whether that relationship is platonic or romantic).

now, in general, looking at the pattern of dream's close emotional relationships—dream doesn't share himself with people as a rule (beyond the access that all things that live have to the dreaming; but i'm talking about his self here, the one he doesn't like to acknowledge he even has), but when he does share with people, it's with people who have some shadow on the soul, so to speak. just looking at attested relationships in show canon, his deepest emotional connection seems to be with death, who embodies the duality of light and dark even better than he does himself. calliope is the muse of epic poetry—heroism and tragedy—and also bears the sort of divine pride that led her to cut dream off for hundreds or thousands of years when he wronged her. the less said about that other guy, the better, but he's no sunshine-rainbows-unicorns type—he's a soldier of fortune, a bandit and a killer, a man who profits from the sale of human life. even best bird matthew, in comix canon, had a sordid past that will maybe be partially retconned for the show but has still been gestured at.

dream likes the complicated ones. he's drawn to them. they speak to something in him that he won't acknowledge in himself (he has to be Whole, fully integrated, without reservation, because he is the king and he is the dreaming and if the dreaming ain't whole then the universe is in trouble—but he feels that ache nonetheless).

all that is to say: when people try to portray lucienne as dream's Designated Well-Adjusted Neurotypical Friend, i begin to harm and maim.

#chatter #as usual there is a larger pattern of behavior around this post that has been making me crazy for some time #it's the ''holder of the braincell'' trope but it's also just like the flattening of female characters of color in every possible dimension #so many people are terrified. TERRIFIED. to imagine a woman of color's pain #because the demands of shallow progressivism are such that they require you to acknowledge that A Black Woman Has Suffered More #Than Anyone Else Ever In The History Of The World Ever; Because Of Racism #but the demands of wider fandom are such that they require you to buy into the concept that A White Man's Suffering #Is The Only Suffering Worthy Of Care Attention Or Interest. #can't handle the dichotomy so instead they create the imago of a Black woman who has never suffered anything ever #she cannot be mentally ill; she cannot be disabled; if she is queer then it is in a way that is wholly self-contained and complete #and not ambiguous or in flux in any way; and most important of ALL she can never have experienced racism. #because racism As We Know is the worst form of suffering. so if she'd suffered racism then that would make her more worthy of #compassion than White Guy No. 37. which must not be #the very idea that lucienne is simply at peace with herself and the dreaming with no further complication.......like! #WOMEN OF COLOR ARE NEVER AFFORDED THAT KIND OF CERTAINTY. ARE YOU STUPID. #and by the way being reserved/calm/unassuming/practical are NOT absolute indicators of mental wellness. #y'all can see this when it's a white guy what is your fucking DAMAGE when it comes to women of color. #OPEN YOUR EYES. USE YOUR POWERS OF DEDUCTIVE REASONING. DREAM DIDN'T CHOOSE HER TO BE HIS THERAPIST. #DREAM CHOSE HER BECAUSE; PRESUMABLY; SHE ACHES. SHE CONTRADICTS. SHE GRAPPLES WITH THE SHADOW ON THE MIND. #SOMETHING IN HIM SEES A KINDRED SOUL IN HER. WAKE UP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

Dick Grayson, If he really wanted too he could get a good chunk of heros and villains to do whatever he wanted. Everyone has so much trust in him they would probably take his word as law, and that's kinda terrifying.

#comics #dc comics #robin #dick grayson #nightwing #jason todd #batman #bruce wayne #red hood #tim drake #red robin #like he says jump and they'd all jump #like thats BATMANS first sidekick! thats a learder of the Teen Titans! thats the FIRST child sidekick! hes the man the myth the legand #Dick Grayson is the Dos Equis commercial *The Most Interesting Man in the World*. He is the *Chuck Norris meme* of the DC heroes. #like he doesn't see him that way and maybe not his bffs dont him that way but like everyone else? #dc #detective comic #now how he ACTUALLY IS! disaster man. 5min away from a mental breakdown. needs a nap #but how many new heros/young heros/people who have only heard the stories see him as a hero (in the sense of person you look up to) #and would do anything for him

kitten is my favorite h:tp character, closely followed by Boy, but markus Definitely speaks to me as an adhd person with a now sober / in recovery parent. like, yeah. i ALSO don't want my brain to be doing what it's doing, my adhd affects me and my life and everyone in it and my relationships. yes i need you to spell things out for me.

idk. big d is Fun, but as someone who had to put their drunk mother (who had driven home drunk from the bar) to bed more times than i can count as both a teenager and a young adult, markus holds a special place in my heart because it does really feel like you and your parents are speaking different languages, and there's that feeling of anger, of resentment- "another poorly justified thing that we have to take care of".

#h:tp #honestly. markus i feel is the most nuanced character in h:tp so far. #i hope we see like. his mom at some point. and his relationships with d's other children #me. looking at this 30 cringefail man: oh my GOD. he's just like me frrrr #scout.docx #also yes im shifiting back into my chronicals / world of darkness special interests #im cringe but i am FREEEEEE

Talking in the comments made me want to also say in the writing advice sphere of whatever this blog is…

So much of the best fic you’re gonna read is written by people for whom English is a second or maybe third language. And it’s wild and magical that people are so talented.

And also I hope knowing this encourages you to read literature in translation, because English as a language is formally very… uh… it’s a fucking mess, okay. And there are other languages and literary traditions that are much more robust, and there are subsequently some really fucking cool things that happen when you run these forms through the cold tap of an English translation.

Some of my favourite reads of the last few years have been Mexican, Russian, Swedish, French, Polish… and there’s not been much that was originally written in English that had touched them, at least in contemporary fiction.

A great place to start is to look at the long lists for the Booker International prize if you’re curious about contemporary work!

#writing tag #kind of #I am also extremely passionate about Bengali literature and support a translation project but man we have a long way to go #one of the most beautiful literary traditions in the world and barely translated! #anyway #I started a book recs part of this blog and promptly forgot about it #but could revive it if people are interested #or just ask idk

🚨 DUPLICATE ALERT 🚨

Clarus Amiticia is present in both Bracket A & B! Which is my mistake, my apologies.

So, some of the previously removed Grandpas have a chance to come back in the competition, and take his place in Round 1-B against Abraham Van Helsing.

lazy scribbling of my baldur's gate 3 characters

#*emerges from 430 HOURS of life-changing playtime blearily like a lost and confused kitten* #i lost my interest in drawing bc everything is too sad & horrible right now. it was a luxury and privilege to lose myself in this instead #what follows will be my personal and trivial emotions about that #i'll do better proper drawings later. for me. they are both so very dear to me... deeply dear...unforgettable journeys of fate #truly have played like one possessed for the past few weeks. you have no idea. what do i do now. what do i do. #their personalities are so vivid to me though they mostly made the same choices. both intersex and they/them - canonically <3 #i missed out on FOUR PARTY MEMBERS in my first playthrough due to not understanding anything whatsoever. #gloaming ended up with wyll and pavane romanced karlach and astarion. and ended up with the one i did NOT plan on. this wasnt the plan #one of the most fulfilling romance paths i've ever..i cant say more..it all got too immersive and now i have to just.. MOVE ON ?????????? #live in THIS world where i can't gut imperialism personally and emerge alive from that? #without Long Resting? without my character requesting a kiss from their beloved after a tough day ?? #without preparing my little spells? without channelling divinity from my death god to keep us all alive? #without dyeing my man's clothes fancy colours for him? without him Approving whenever i lie and double-cross our enemies #without sharing clothes with my ex? without choosing to eat the heavy food first so that the weight is easier on her Carrying Capacity? #without orchestrating ways for all of my friends to kill the abusers that ruined their lives for a decade or even 200 years? #without experiencing degrading horrors on a daily basis but in a cathartic way where we always make it back to our rooms at the inn #WITHOUT SPEAK WITH ANIMALS??????????? #at least there's music. just like with persona 5 that will always be with me. always #like how p5 melodies take me back to those feelings. those rich and personal feelings.... BUT THIS WAS A WAY MORE NUTS EXPERIENCE #i thought i would hate it. i did at times. thought it would desensitise me to various things. it did. but there was so much more..it was... #Well anyway *continues my life* imagine if dnd was real..something to think about

the sooner badboyhalo viewers realize he’s an unreliable narrator the sooner I’ll be able to sleep at night

#qbbh is unreliable he’s a little bit of an asshole he’s the worlds biggest hypocrite he’s self centered and in it for his own interests #he lies for fun he dishes out ‘pranks’ and ‘memes’ but cannot handle it when the role is reversed he needs things to go his way or he’ll #lose his muffins like #and I love it for him! his character can be frustrating sure but it’s fun he plays a good role!! #but bbh chat you are the bug under my shoe. be normal. learn what rp means for the love of god #media literacy! critical thinking! reading anything other than Twitter posts and hot takes please! #I’m once again seeing weird takes and it’s like man. qBad is so misunderstood. not for all the reasons you think though #he’s not misunderstood because he’s really in the right or good or whatever. he’s misunderstood because nobody understands his characters #views or intentions. i don’t think his character fully does either! unreliable narrator! please for the love of god! #I know I’ve made a whole other in the tags rant about this before but like it’s never been more applicable again #bad’s twitch chat be normal challenge level IMPOSSIBLE #and I don’t get why man. take example from the doozers w foolish. from jorge w bagi.

i have some characters im struggling to design but they are mostly older heavyset men with beards so i sadly cannot fuck around in picrew to make them

#ignore me #if you are about to link me one: have you tried making a fat bearded man in it yet? if not: do not link #if it doesnt have a salt and pepper or greying at the temples option im not interestes #anyway i am making up some folk musicians. fletcher 'fletch' collins: nervous but well liked vocalist & accordionist #'trout' wiggler: strings & most woodwinds. no one know their real name. it might actually be trout. #slow loris: world's best washboard & otherwise improvised percussionist. #others to develop as i stir them in the soup broth of my mind. #also: The Instrument. guy who was a musician in the 1800s and got turned into an instrument by a bitchy wizard #he takes the form of a grand piano at first but can shapeshift into any instrument he sees. it's gross weird shapeshifting. #fletch finds him and takes him in and they get Weird and Gay

Extremely funny that I cannot imagine even crackshipping Luka with anyone else in the cast besides Hyuna because thats how obsessed he is with her, shfiejfhefjek-

#dee p thoughts #alien stage #alnst #vivinos #not that I particularly ship anything too hard at all but just had this realization #well I do think luka and ivan would make a killer duo I mean that in terms of ''would in combo create the most awful vibes in the world'' #and not in any actual relationship way. for funsies pretty boy ship I guess but I think theyd be better maybe-friends #I really wish ivan lived for multiple reasons but he really way too gay for a straight man #Idothinkhemaybealiveforcheckhovsgunpurposesbutanyways #sure I guess you can ship luka and mizi if you reslly hate her but to each their own whatever #the fact that till and luka is the most likely potential luka ship... #at least till has two options. hyuna as well. mizi too! #ivan sua...hmmmmm I mean at least theyve interested in interacting with other people so theres that #as for luka alls hes got is either hyuna or ''Im interacting with you to kill you right now'' either because of hyuna or survival lol #mizisua w tho remember that everyone. forever. Im beaming this into your soul. #I can oddly stretch for a luka dewey ship but its out of luka being extremely weird about dewey and hyuna's relationship lol
