#a quarter of attention

[canisalbus]

You mentioned before that the people who would have access to Machete's bedchamber would likely already know about Vasco. How did that come up in your mind? Did they get caught in the act or was the subject broached with enough trust? How did those people handle it? Sorry if this is a bit vague but I thought about it today and I'm very interested. :)

I think it just has to be the case, I can't imagine how they could manage to hide the fact Vasco is bunking with him from everyone, for years and years. Machete doesn't live alone, he has staff and servants who do his housekeeping and run his errands. Even if Vasco didn't stay there for any extended periods of time and snuck out the back door to avoid attention, I'm assuming at least the people who do his laundry and change his sheets would eventually detect that some sort of funny business had happened. But the number of people who are in on it is still very very small and tightly controlled. His assistant Vittorio definitely knows and helps to manage this situation, so does his personal doctor, and on top of that maybe a handful of most trusted high-ranking emplyees, which he has vetted extremely carefully and pays handsomely for their discreetness and prudence.

#or something along those lines surely there has to be a way for this to work people have had secret affairs since the beginning of time #if you hire someone #or more likely promote someone you know who has worked for you for years and has proven to be trustworthy and unlikely to betray you #and there's a very high risk that that person will find out your secrets it's better to bring them to their attention yourself #in a controlled setting ahead of time #instead of waiting to see if/when you're caught and not knowing how they will react #right? #and his private quarters are indeed private you don't go snooping in there without a good reason and an official permission #answered #anonymous #Vaschete lore #Vasco hanging around there often probably isn't an immediate red flag it's a big house and people can have friends and guests #plus at the time it was generally more common and accepted for two men to be close friends and openly attached to each other platonically #it's sunday morning and I'm awake trying to piece together the practical logistics of #maintaining an undercover long term relationship between two 16th century statesmen

“Uhh can I HELP you?”

“Yes you certainly can, my lady” ❤️

#such a rude interruption can’t you see the girls trying to read her stories #everyone I want to direct your attention to the background #this is their living quarters in Figaro castle and it has a sunken living room #I hope I drew it clearly but I wasn’t sure #final fantasy vi #final fantasy 6 #the phoenix cave #final fantasy #terra branford #edgar roni figaro #minicomic

anime adachi and kurosawa are making out in a storage room at the office!!!! im highkey losing my mind!!!!!!

#THEY FULLY MADE OUT #i had no clue what level of intimacy we were gonna get in the anime version #but this was like a full proper make out #like it was long!!!! and they drew attention to everything all the ways they touched and pulled each other closer and adachi was like fully #reciprocating and the line building up to it omg kurosawa saying so the more i touch you the more you’ll know how i feel #yes I haven’t watched the thai version yet I need time to binge but like…. this is a really good adaptation #it feels authentic to the source material and yet they make it feel different to the live action in such good ways #you can see how these characters have the same basis but have been built differently it’s awesome #and also I have a feeling that this will be my favourite tsuge. his character just works a lot better in a anime format than live action #anyway if you haven’t watched the anime adaptation at least watch this it’s the second half of ep 8 #also only ep 8??? we still have a quarter of the show yet and they’ve made out already so idk what we have in store now #cherry magic anime

Guess who is getting an x-ray tomorrow

🙌🤩🥳🥳🥳

#my life #i thought of it as a lost cause #but on a whim i asked for a second visit and it took all of 5 minutes for him to have me scheduled #i thought of it as 2 months #which would be bad enough #but next week is literally 3 months #a quarter with a hurt toe is enough to finally warrant that extra attention even for the tiniest of appendages apparently

[ultimate-sword-showdown]

This tournament will return...

#sword showdown #the bladesmith speaks #I've been planning things out and I have a pretty good idea of how I want to host the rematch #I have to wait until this school quarter is over though. I will not have time before then period. #but I might as well start building hype now...if anyone still cares about this thing lmao #I assume my 500 followers are still paying attention somewhat

As a reminder, Wednesday the 19th we're starting our preview of Skyjoust– our sports anime inspired jousting competition series– on the Campaign feed. It will be two months of weekly episodes! As we get ready for that, let's meet some of the teams! (via twitter) The Burning Tails The Barmwhich Perrymen The Frog Princes The Jolly Ganders

I don't think the Campaign pod has been promoting Skyjoust on Tumblr yet, so I'm going to do it for them (hope thats ok lol)

y'all have no idea how hype I am about giant bird joust sports anime podcast!!! First episode previewing on the Campaign: Skyjacks podcast feed on the 19th!!

#skyjacks #skyjoust #each of those links is full team profiles about who the players are and why they Need To Win #the Burning Tails are the clear fan favorites in that two of the players are skyjacks: courier's call characters #they're the traditional sports anime protags; here for the love of the game #the barmwhich perrymen come from a small town that used to be a jousting capitol but has been GUTTED by capitalism #they have few resources and lots of attitude and they want to use that to make a name for themselves again and save their town #the Frog Princes are the reigning champions of the junior league owned by a main jousting club and a handful of wealthy sponsors #they were the favorite to win until they lost to the Jolly Ganders and barely made it into the quarter finals #and finally the Jolly Ganders are the clear heels of the show. the team name was recently bought out by a new sponsor #who completely rebuilt a team of ruthless competitors in order to bring more attention for the sponsor. and its working

JAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF CRAVING THE OLD MAN IS WRONG I DON'T WANNA BE RIGHT

#i will elaborate!!!! #imagine working at the Zen'in estate #and the other staff is glad you volunteer to work in Naobito's quarters because he's so unpleasant to be around #when most of the time he's just a peepaw watching his anime and loves to mansplain animation techniques and how the modern stuff is shit #you don't have to agree just nod along while old man goes on a rant #makes him feel all high and mighty right? #so of course he's gonna give his all when a young thing gives him all this attention #calloused old man hands clawing the sheets when you ride him like a rodeo yeehaw #one way ticket for a hip replacement #lale.ask

[kanoshinkanoshinkanoshin]

#kano shuuya #kagepro #i really do draw a lot of right facing 3 quarter headshots!! wow #also im trying to pay attention to lighting more now #and not just. randomly throw shadows in

[loath3d]

#❛ out of character … cannibal mother. #the urge was there and like honestly #she needs more love attention and character building #we didn't get even a QUARTER of the amount we should've #in silver flames #of her bad sexy ass

Hi this is a vent post! Continue scrolling if you'd rather not see that

#Giving time... #Still more time... #Wouldn't want to plague any previews #Maybe another filler. Just for some fun #Is this enough? #It certainly is now #Alright start: #I'm so bored. I am so incredibly; intrinsically; entirely bored. I have been taught the same thing for four years straight #'It's only four years!' that's literally a quarter of my lifetime right there. My formative years are being spent stressed and in a state / #/of constant self-loathing #I was watching a YT video and the phrase 'attention-starved STEM major' came up and I was like. Yea #What am I even working towards? The hope that my version of capitalist hell isn't as bad as everyone else's? I'm just so sick of not / #/having a stable future what with politics and normal working people becoming more and more oppressed #I don't want to work and that's not because I'm lazy. It's because my brain is recognising that there is no reward anymore #I used to have such a little spark in Yr7. I remember having things to say and wanting to share everything I've done #I still do that now; sure I do. I don't enjoy it though #I thought I liked drawing but I'm realising that all I really like is the attention. I COULD draw things I like drawing... but then I / #/ don't get attention which my mind then classifies as zero reward #I'm very tired of doing things for no credit; reward; or validation. This is becoming a theme #Then I wonder what I'm doing wrong. What part of the algorithm am I not hitting. Then I realise that I'm just not marketable in a way #God. I'm seriously breaking rn. It's not even only because of GCSEs #It's just a culmination of doing all these things to be told that I am unworthy of Having as a result. It doesn't matter if I'm smart; my / #/ parents still don't own their house and can't afford to pay for heating most days #Literally what am I doing this for #And then I realise that all of this is ALSO attention-seeking behaviour! I'm my own worst problem; I recognise exactly what's wrong with / #/ myself but the body wants what it wants. And what it wants is validation that I'm not going to get in this life #Hi guys! Maybe don't interact. That could fix me #Wean me off of needing virtual numbers just to feel something. Jesus #I can't even be happy with the things that I make for myself. Because I make nothing for myself anymore #It's just a whole sad existence of an expected 12hr+ of school every day until I get a job I guess. Then it's 12hr+ of job every day until

Tuvok quietly noting whenever one of his children’s birthdays pass, the day he and T’Pel were married, when certain ceremonies were supposed to be held - are being held. That split-second illogical thought: Waking up and wondering if T’Pel is in the bathroom or at the mirror. Turning and expecting to see his youngest peering at him, waiting patiently for him to wake up so they can ask for a special breakfast on the day of their birth.  I think the first year or so must have been uniquely lonely, before he became used to sleeping alone.

#Tuvok in the first year having moments of jolting to attention in his quarters like 'it's too quiet' before he quickly remembers #his children aren't here and it's going to be quiet for...mm..decades - perhaps #and then he remembers and goes on with his day #I also think that Vulcans only celebrate birthdays up to a certain age and then they don't anymore because it seems silly and they live long #Like once you're not in school age becomes more secretive - a private fact for your family and very close friends to know #this post came about bc I was thinking about another post where Tuvok remembered the date of Janeway and Mark's wedding and talked with her #about it and a fic about that post where they danced together like they would have at the wedding (it was SO SWEET) #Sadly I don't think Janeway would know his childrens' birthdays or his wedding anniversary or the ceremonies that would be held #But I think she'd understand how strange it feels to be sleeping alone #st voyager #Tuvok & Janeway #Tuvok

the most unintentional trait i gave child bill in my flatland fic is that whenever he's really mad at someone he bites them. i think in the first ten or so chapters he's seen or mentioned biting like, at least three people, and i just wrote something where he admitted it's his go-to. default moveset

#a lot of them were when he was eight years old or under to be fair but still #i think my main thought was like #'okay what does an angry neglected eight year old do when someone is upsetting him or nobody is listening to him?' #'how does he get attention or get them to stop whatever thing they're doing he doesn't like?' #'probably hitting or biting something since he's already learned that nobody will listen to him any other way' #and then it turned into me realizing i had written bill biting like a quarter of a dozen people

I NEEED to go back to making art that makes it ABUNDANTLY clear that theres something wrong with my brain BUT NOT in a cool or stylishly interesting way. i need to do it in a way that makes people say "hm." and walk away

#sowwy ive been kinda going through it in my fine arts major rn can u tell HJKSDHKFd #ive been feeling like. scared. and paralyzed by marketability and branding. #i cant stop thinking about how other people will see my art. but not like in a good way #when i was younger i thought about it in a good way. like hee hee hoo hoo the act of looking connected us hee hee #but rn i keep thinking about it in like this wretched like consumer product mindset? ouhhghhhhh el problema es el capitalismo #and like maybe this works for some people. to think like this. to make art like this. its what my professors push me towards #not intentionally. they dont say it out loud at least. im not sure if they know or not some of the irony #my professors are nice and pretty smart and talented and i like em. but sometimes i wonder like. the push for us as students to make like #marketable 'avant garde'? stuff thats safe but pretending to be weird and out there #i dont mean to sound pretentious. in general i play it too safe myself (spent too much time as an edgy 10 year old with my #parents freaking out over my shoulder because they think the fact that i drew an anime character frowning means something serious LOL) #but i dunno man. my least interesting art with the least amount of care thought or effort always gets so much more attention in school #nowhere else oddly. online? people like my more passionate but seemingly frivolous art (oc art etc. not frivolous to me but yknow how it is #same with irl artists and other industry people outside my school. whats going on in my school LOL #i know from experience i cant push myself into a supposedly marketable brand. if i try to make something sell it will not. #i dont know why. maybe theres an invisible essence buyers can tell when i didnt care jkfsldjdfrds #but my teachers LOOOOVE the stuff i put no passion in its so bizarre orz but i gotta relearn how to ignore half of their advice #i used to be better at it. but i also only used to ignore like a quarter of their advice. maybe i need to amp up how much im ignoring #that sounds mean. they have plenty of good advice. but also plenty of advice thats clouded by their own biases #and i gotta relearn how to sort out this stuff again. i forget every few months for some reason #you know i always think ouuhhhhh i act so neurotypical ouhhhhhhhhh im outgoing i talk to strangers all the time i seem confident #im so masked IM SO MASKED but then i go a couple weeks where every conversation i have has people looking at me like #i have two heads and neither of them are speaking their language. and then i descend into madness like this HJKLDSHJDS #i'll be fine i'll figure it out. i need to stop trying to get a good grade in being a 'cutting edge' conventional artist <3 #i need to just. draw my cartoon characters in peace 😔😔😔

A photo of Christopher Pike and his Captain Robert April wearing Starfleet uniforms like those seen in Star Trek: The Original Series unaired pilot "The Cage" (1966), appears framed in Pike's quarters. When Future Pike visits Present Pike to warn him about the events that will transpire, he picks up the photo from the display to look at it. "This room brings back a lot of memories."

STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS 1x10 "A Quality of Mercy"

Photo of Pike's quarters via Strange New Worlds set decorator Justin Craig. The set decorator also had a replica of the Enterprise built for Pike because Craig's Grandfather and Great Grandfather were Sailors on Tall Ships, and he wanted Pike's quarters to "resonate his passion for exploration." - Justin Craig on Twitter, July 2 2022

22 isn't very much at all, I think.

#5am rambles #anyways ignore this as per usual im just thinking in a post that i'll delete soon. i just worry and writing it helps. #you ever wonder when you'll “grow up'? and then realize youre not even fully grown? #that theres still more to learn in life and that the mistakes you make are just that? mistakes? #that you are still so very very young in a world that is so very very old? #im almost 23. barely a quarter of my lifespan. im still a child in a way- my brain not fully formed. #you ever wonder how many mistakes you can make before you figure something out? #I dont know much of anything really. that's the sad part. and the adults who were supposed to help me learn... didnt. #i was failed. and now im a failure. at almost not quite 23 years old. Maybe i wont be a failure in another few years. #i still have a while to go before I die. I'm not going to waste time thinking about it. im just going to try my best. #I have time. I can learn. Grace and patience are not endless but damn if i dont try to figure things out #first step though is meds and therapy tho. we're done with the pity party. some things you just have to accept are okay #cuz my whole life i was taught that being emotional is a weakness. its pathetic and stupid to be upset or angry about anything. #any time i wanted to show i was upset or angry i was 'wrong'. i was 'selfish' and 'dramatic' #so i suppressed and pretended i was fine. that i wasnt weak and pathetic. that i was good and not an annoyance or burden. #i am not weak. i am not pathetic. i am fine i am fine i am fine you dont need to worry about the inconvenience at your door. #sometimes the shame is so much that i cant look at myself or even think i deserve help. that therapy is for people with real problems. #that i feel like ill just be told im like this for attention or dramatics. that im such a disappointment and selfish too. #ive been a “problem” my whole life to the point i dunno if i CAN be fixed. that anxiety eats me alive every day. #therapy is supposed to give you methods to cope #i dunno if it'll work though. I forget my appointments a lot. i struggle to talk sometimes. i may be autistic but its hard to get diagnosed. #emotions are so hard to figure out.

Sentinel after retiring from the Magnus position:

#lmao season 4 was goofy and not in a good way #like they really had him act even more evil than he already was(nt) to the point it looked OOC even for him #sentinel: after all these years I finally get the job of my dreams! #also sentinel: has to go through piles of paperwork; boring meetings; LOTS of responsibilties he is clearly not fit for #not to mention having to listen to random autobot problems which is actually very petty timewasting nonsense #oh did i mention he gets stalked by fanbots; he accepts the attention at first but gradually gets annoyed bc they wont leave him alone #they even sneak into his private quarters while he's unarmored/tryin to sleep 😬 #like its too much attention even for HIM & by the end of the season he practically BEGS for someone else to take over #yep season 4 in my verse is basically Consequences: The Series #honestly sentinel realizing that power&status is not all that cracked up to be is a far more fitting punishment #plus it actually could serve as a catalyst for his redemption; seeing how neither Ultra Magnus nor Optimus are there to coddle him #transformers animated #meme #sentinel prime
