A wonderful AWFUL idea.

I had a dream that you posted a drawing of Machete praying with a distraught expression, wearing the Happy Hoodie for dogs, and you titled it "I'm sorry". You explained that Machete had a dream where he hit someone while driving a car (yes, car) and was apologizing for his dream. I'm sorry if this is gruesome but I thought you might find it curious lol

.

#that's not gruesome that's wonderful #I don't have anything to add I'm just in awe over the idea #of Machete hitting someone with his car in a DREAM feeling guilty about it and praying for forgiveness while wearing something as demeaning #as a happy hoodie #twice as good if this takes place in the renaissance timeline and he's still dreaming about car accidents #answered #anonymous

One of the many Wolf 359 script directions that is Important To Me is this bit from Ep15 What's Up, Doc?, which comes after Hilbert has been threatening to tell Minkowski how Eiffel ended up on the Hephaestus:

#Wolf 359 #w359 #I do think script directions like this are perfectly reflected in the actors' performances #and also think they are very worth reading #He says he just needs her to drop it *right now* #which gives an opening to bring it up again another time #but we don't have any evidence that she ever tried to ask him again #In my opinion 'I didn't murder anyone' is not a very reassuring defence #because if that's the only defence he can give #it arguably implies that what he did is just a level of awfulness below that #But Minkowski accepts that defence as all she needs to know #She has full confidence in him #a blank cheque of trust #No wonder he didn't want to tell her #(He didn't want to lose that trust) #No wonder it was so devastating for Minkowski to find out the truth #(The idea that her trust might have been misplaced terrifies her) #Also Eiffel is surprised that Minkowski doesn't push it #He's taken aback by how easily she trusts him #He doesn't expect people to trust him #and just take his word for it that they don't need to discuss his past #He's expecting to need to argue #He's preparing to try to justify his secrecy further #But he doesn't need to #She just trusts him immediately #Eiffel & Minkowski #the empty man posteth #Doug Eiffel #Renée Minkowski #w359 spoilers

There's something to say about plays that are technically timeloops

Or more accurately realizing they're in a play, that plays into the concept of timeloops

You've reblogged before of plays being timeloops, but its been on my mind for a while, bc it fucks me up so hard

Rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead having the main guys realize mid play that they're in a story, and in their last moments going 'with the knowledge we have now, surely we'll change our story next time!'

But they never do. Bc they can't. Their fates were sealed before the play began, and by the time they realize it's already too late again

Same with hadestown. You as the audience already know how this story is gonna end, be it via mythology, or listening to the album, or even watching the musical before

Hermes and the cast know how this story goes, they've played it so so many times before, even them hoping that the story might change one day. Still knowing it won't

aaaa i am eating all of your words right now (very positive)

this is so. yes. i love this.

#(this idea makes me think of The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals) #(with how at the beginning they all know theyre in a musical. theyre all in the same state they are at the end (trying not to spoil it lol) #(makes you wonder if they all know their fate. if they know how awful their fate is.) #(after all… it’s inevitable.) #not a time loop post #asks

there's something about jimmy and martyn this season

four times over jimmy has walked the well-worn path into the realm of death all alone, his feet sinking in the inky, star-speckled puddles of the void and his hand shaking on the icy doorknob of After. and the familiarity— and oh, is it so familiar— never manages to suffocate the dread each and every time. the knowledge that this door, these wings, those eyes are all horrifyingly inevitable, following him, miraculously, across worlds.

until now. he steps in the pond of the void and there's a warm hand in his, so warm jimmy knows it to be unwelcome in this place. no one has ever been here with him before, and never in his endless lives and deaths has he ever been left staring wide-eyed at theback of someone's head, the back of martyn's head.

and martyn leads the way. there are no words— there never have been in this place— but his hand is firm and real in jimmy's. he walks confidently, the soles of his shoes marring the ground he walks across with ripples that never stop. and this time, martyn reaches out, and swings that haunting door wide open, ceasing its endless whispers all at once.

when martyn turns around, his eyes lock with jimmy's, and he doesn't speak— no one can, here, jimmy is sure of it— but he might as well, really. his eyes are tired, but they are certain. martyn says nothing, but jimmy hears him. of course he does.

follow me this time, would you?

#im just so stuck on the idea of jimmy watching in absolute awe and wonder as martyn leads him back home. as martyn goes FIRST #i have such a clear picture of it i wish i could draw #im so insane about property police no one gets it #the canary curse #it is shared!! Martyn has Decided!!!!! #martyn #martyn itlw #jimmy solidarity #slsmp #secret life #property police #trafficblr #inthelittlewood #martyn inthelittlewood #watercolor words #thats my “unnecessarily poetic analytic tumblr posts” tag btw #secret life smp #secret life spoilers #life series #traffic life smp #solidaritygaming

So Greg Bryk regularly goes live on Instagram to chat with his followers and answer a few questions, and almost every time, someone asks if he’d like to play Joseph Seed again if he had the chance, to which he used to always reply that, yes, he absolutely would. However, in early 2022, he didn’t seem so sure anymore and said it would depend on the script (the question was specifically about a potential Far Cry 5 movie) and the writer(s). Then, a few months later, he implied he didn’t feel like playing the Father ever again because he thought the character’s story was “finished” and that Ubisoft should focus on creating new things instead…

Well, on October 14, 2023, he once again went live on Instagram and, when people mentioned Far Cry 5 in the chat, he revealed that he had reached out to Dan Hay and Drew Holmes, two of the game’s three main writers he’s become friends with, and that they had visited him “on set” (I’m not sure what he was shooting) the day before. In the past, he had already explained several times that he had loved working with them and thought the story they wrote (along with “JS”, Jean-Sébastien Décant, the game’s third main writer) was fantastic. This time, he added that Far Cry 5 was really “special” to him because the writers “cared a lot” about creating something great with amazing characters, and that he thought the whole Seed family was really well-written.

A few minutes later, when he was asked which character he would like to play again if he could, he said it was hard for him to choose because he loves them all, but he eventually picked Jeremy Danvers (Bitten) and Cobbs Pond (Frontier).

Then, surprisingly, he also mentioned Joseph.

I don’t know why he changed his mind again or if the fact he contacted Dan Hay (who doesn’t work for Ubisoft anymore) and Drew Holmes (who recently became the new IP Director for Far Cry) means anything, and I’m not sure I want more Far Cry 5 content to be released anyway (for continuity reasons), but I guess the Seed family’s return, as equally exciting and truly terrifying as this eventuality sounds to me, isn’t completely out of the question anymore in Greg Bryk’s mind!

#someone also asked if the book of joseph was canon but as expected he had no idea #actors rarely know that stuff and I’m not even sure he got to read it... #but yeah the boys’ awful childhood is definitely canon the writers have talked about it several times #far cry 5 #joseph seed #greg bryk #okay but... listen #I wondered if I was just imagining things when he first mentioned collapse during a live stream and I thought he looked a bit upset #the dlc wasn’t out yet but I was pessimistic so I concluded my fear probably was the reason he seemed unenthusiastic/disappointed to me #then when he said he didn’t feel like playing joseph anymore I once again wondered if it was because of collapse (which was now out) #but I told myself I was most likely influenced by my own negative opinion and he simply wanted to focus on new projects #but... now he’s happily talking about the original writers and how much they 'cared' about making something good #and he seems really enthusiatic again about possibly reprising the role in the future #so is he implying that he thought the other writers (the dlc’s)... didn’t 'care'? #does he also think there were problems with the seeds’ characterization in collapse?? #is it possible that I wasn’t just projecting after all??? #???? #...okay maybe I’m still projecting #but the timing is a bit suspicious isn’t it?

i have such a morbid fascination with those weird reddit dudes who rate their attraction to a woman by working out the ratios and proportions of her features. i want to know if it has ever occurred to them that this is not how other people experience attraction

#ik theyre awful misogynists but a part of me really feels bad for them #there’s definitely a chunk of them who do it bc they resent beautiful women #and kinda self-soothe by ‘proving with numbers’ that these women arent ACTUALLY attractive and they dont want them anyway #but i always wonder how many of them truly just dont feel attraction when looking at women #so they use the numbers as some sort of proxy #bc We Live In A Society that kinda tells boys that if ur not pursuing and getting women then ur not a real man or whatever #im not saying theyre right but i can follow the lines of thought of that second genre of guy #where ur pushed the idea of Getting With A Woman so much but you dont actually want to get with a woman #so you end up with resentment towards women #idk. #anyway this all mostly applies to the very young ones #i have little time for grown adults who use society as an excuse to continue making society suck

“John wanted to be with a woman. But he needed as well very, very much a friend. He needed a male friend. And my opinion is that Yoko, he managed somehow to combine both. He had a fear for pretty women running after him. Yoko was not very pretty, uh, at all, and he replaced a male in his life plus a female.”

Alexis Mardas, All You Need Is Love, Peter Brown and Steven Gaines (2024)

#I can’t stand alex (and it seems like no-one else in this book does either) #but he raises an interesting point #completely awful about yoko of course but interesting nonetheless #and basically what john said too #I wonder if alex was the one who first put that idea in his head #john lennon #john and yoko

do you guys remember when Attack On Titan had a fucking Looney Tunes Babies style spin off where all the characters were in junior high and the titans were just bullies and eren was mad at them because they ate his hamburg steak and it was legitimately better than the original

#yui rambles #dont ask me why i randomly remembered #i often think about attack on titan #about how its first season was one of the most promising new shows at the time #it felt so refreshing and full of life and energy and ideas and something to say #and then you reach a certain point in the story and youre like #...huh this is weird #and you keep reading/watching and start wondering what's wrong #and then at a certain point it just hits you #and youre like woah! wait! #i get it! #the author is not a good writer! #this pacing sucks! the reveals suck! #i get it now! the beginning of the story was a fluke! #attack on titan's legacy was carried on an extremely promising intro section and a very competently made anime adaptation #but not even the sick art style and incredible action scenes could save a story so shoddily told imo #and then you reach the end and its like wow. so the thing you had to say was awful. #sorry i dont mean to swing at a hornets nest #i just think about it because when a story nosedives that hard its like. a case study for me #whatevs this is all my opinion no disrespect if you like it #but even if you like it i think you HAVE to be aware that the point being made with the story is a pretty fucking terrible one #anyway this post got fucking derailed in the tags lmao my point is attack on titan junior high was legit funny and had a better ending lmao

Persephone captain marvel au. Hear me out.

Associated with duality, reincarnation, resurrection, childhood innocence (and it getting ripped away by adults), and her 'counterpart' Kore, which is her in her returning aspect of spring, youthfulness, new life... Come on. Is that not the closest thing to Billy you've ever seen in ancient Greece? Where he gets his powers?

It all starts with Teth Adam, and his devastation at the death of his son. He finds the old paths, breaks them open, and storms down into the underworld to demand him back. His is not a new story.

But where Persephone might ordinarily be inclined to ease her husband's scorn, give the troubled mourner a chance, she is speaking to the champion of magic, the world's mightiest mortal. The chance of success is too high. The challenge would not be enough. The death was too high profile and would risk too many attempting to follow in his footsteps. The man is too unstable, too powerful, too close to the heart of magic for it to be safe - for any of him - to grant his wish and risk his false hope.

They deny him.

Enraged, implacable, Teth Adam lashes out. The battle is long and drawn out, neither side tiring even as both weaken, but Persephone, in either form, is not one of war, and she is felled as her curses shatter, her furies tossed aside like dolls. The sound of Hades' scream as Adam's surprise leaves him open flattens the rubble of their throne room.

The wounded champion escapes, hounded by cerberus and skeletons instead of his son's shade, as her husband crashes to his knees beside her. She has not a mortal soul, and thus will be going where even Death cannot reach.

But Adam killed the goddess of reincarnation, and Billy has odd dreams. He's pretty sure he needs to ease up on the stress. He's restless in winter and distracted in summer, he can sleep outside in howling storms as long as he's tucked snug in the boughs of a tree, he's had the luck of never tasting a rotten fruit. Sometimes it feels like there's ghosts in his hideouts and the kids at school try and bribe him to curse their enemies.

When he chosen to be Captain Marvel the wizard chokes on his own speech when the smoke clears. They stare at each other.

"Well," says Persephone, "that was unexpected. Hullo."

"Hello," the wizard replies, "I was under the impression..."

"I don't think the laws of interference quite apply until I'm immortal again," he says.

The wizard's relief is palpable. It's understandable, he looks ready to keel over from old age. "Can I ask...?" he gestures at the new body. It takes a second to understand.

"Oh, I'm a boy now. For a while."

And that's that.

Until green lantern is killed in battle.

#Billy as Kore - spring youth maiden flowers #And the captain as persephone - death curses ghosts reincarnation. ✨royalty✨ #I especially like that it works with whatever interpretation of cap/Billy you have! #Aspects of the same person. Billy having a limited recollection of his past life and minimal powers compared to cap's fully grown self #Also the idea of big burly sunshine strength cap being in truth the Soul of a young innocent maiden kidnapped from her family would #Infuriate in universe alpha males. Brings me life. #Billy/Kore: innocent cinnamon roll too good for this world too pure #Cap/persephone: gaslight gatekeep girlboss #Cap would keep his death powers under wraps and NEVER curse. Unless it's Adam or darksied or something. Then a simple 'gtfo' works #Not that he ever keeps it simple. Everyone on comms has their ears SCALDED. They're all in shock. Cap stops just short of another 10 plague #Cap (looking at gls body): aw my husband's gonna be so mad at me *rolls up sleeves* #Gender queer Billy vibes ftw #I'd say bigender or gender fluid.
