#also yes this is maybe me projecting

[inthewychelm]

ive been thinking about hard of hearing steve, who started losing his hearing after starcourt, the scoops troops are the first to find out because of how attached they are, robin erica and dustin all insist on steve learning to sign but he's insecure about learning a new language so they slowly learn and start teaching him

after vecna, eddie gets adopted to their little group and starts picking up on the signs and learning on his own, still struggles to hold a conversation, esp with the likes of robin or dustin, but he atleast knows simple words and phrases enough to communicate, eddie also gets into the habit of signing ILY to steve before he leaves, except steve rarely studies asl on his own most of what he remembers is from robin/erica/dustin, who never thought to teach him that specific sign, so steve just thinks eddie is just being a metalhead throwing up a 'rock on' gesture, hes still absolutely endeared by eddie doing this but he doesn't realize that eddie saying he loves him everyday, what follows is a ridiculous amount of pining where only steve doesn't know because everyone else know what that sign means, he only finds out because after gossiping with robin(who has tried to tell steve that its reciprocated) about eddie, erica interupts their convo by telling steve that eddie tells him he loves steve everyday (that clown is so obviously in love with you, how are you still pining? you're supposed to be a expert, steve?)

(edit 07/23: this fic is now on ao3)

#she says this loudly in the middle of an empty family video eddie walks in during the middle of the argument that follows #immediately gets roasted and gets a boyfriend bc steve is not running from the chance in front of him #yes i am projecting my hearing loss onto steve deal with it #also i dont like the idea that steve hates himself for losing his hearing even if its from tramua bc it makes me feel shitty about mine #instead i like to think he leans into it like a grandpa he might never get hearing aids or maybe he does and avoids ever turning them on #but i do think he would be insecure about trying to learn a new language when he previously has shown to struggle with school #so even after eight months of learning he's still kinda learning basic signs while the other scoop troops are catching on more #hard of hearing steve is something so personal to me #stranger things #steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #hoh steve harrington #hard of hearing steve harrington #stranger things headcanons #steddie ficlet

I feel like a lot of people look over the beginning of Episode 2 because of the whole “A PERMIT???” haha so silly thing, but like-

This is some TOP level projection right here - and it's sad. I mean, this, I feel, is one of the few times we get to see into the mind of a Crowley still reeling from his Fall and, more importantly, God's hand in it. There are a few times we get to hear Crowley's thoughts on what happened when he Fell but none of them really ever reference it in relation to God specifically ("I only ever asked questions", "I never asked to be a demon", "It's Lucifer and the guys!"). It's things God is technically to blame for, but he doesn't really call Her out.

There are a few times he talks about God's hypocrisy and all that, but this is, I think, the first time we see his true feelings on how it felt to be forsaken by God.

The first sentence is particularly intriguing. "You should know why you're about to die." Was this perhaps a speech that Crowley received when he was in Hell? Or, maybe, was it the speech he wished someone would have given him? An explanation for why he suddenly was no longer an angel? Something to comfort him in the wake of God abandoning him?

Either way, I think this speech is very, very telling. I think the Crowley that we see in Season 1 draped over his chair and begging for a sign has softened ever so slightly - but this Crowley? This Crowley is still very much hardened and angry about his fall. Questioning why it happened, why God abandoned him, why She gave him up to be destroyed.

But he can't get those answers.

obviously the quality of all these shows is suffering from the fact that their primary function is to provide the setup for future star wars projects (mcuification, baby!!! who's ready for the infinity war style team-up movie where the gang takes down thanos—i mean thrawn?). but i also think a big part of why the book of boba fett, mando s3 (and to a slightly lesser extent, s2 as well), and ahsoka all suffer from the same issue of having their main protagonists cast aside in favour of side characters—which in itself might not be as annoying as it is if those stories were even remotely interesting or well-written—is because filoni & co. want to be making an ensemble piece. but instead, they're stuck having to make a bunch of solo projects that are ostensibly about individuals or smaller casts of characters, which they then stumble their way through in the most half-assed, half-hearted way possible because it's all just setup for the "mandoverse movie," a phrase which makes me want to projectile vomit.

#also heaven forbid the 'rebels sequel' be in the same medium as fucking rebels lmao #disney's continuing need to focus all their energy on live action projects that have already been done better in animation is insane to me #like i know WHY but when your la projects keep being panned for sucking and/or just generally feeling like soulless cash grabs #i feel like maybe you should just. try something else. #but yes i know i'm expecting too much of the mega corporation that cares about making obscene amounts of money and absolutely fuck all else #ky posts text #ahsoka spoilers #not really but you know #sw.txt

[rawliverandgoronspice]

still a hardcore believer in the "totk was absolute development hell" theory btw, even if I know it will never be confirmed or denied, but all the signs are there honestly

#thoughts #totk #totk critical #when will my brain return from the imprisoning war... #the fact that it does not take 6 years to make a game like this #that they used the covid excuse (the game industry took like a month to adapt tops) #that the game was postponed eight billion times #that there are very clear signs that there was a pretty brutal rewrite at some point #that no writers/quest designers are credited??? as far I can tell???? #and also and that's... kind of impossible to prove or to pinpoint or rationally explain #but this game feels like burnout to me #it tastes like hollowed gamedev soul who switched off their enthusiasm and went “content mode” just to push through the finish line #OH YES also the lack of dlc #I have a hard time believing they have nothing they could potentially add if they wanted to --and maybe they just don't want to #it just... feels like exhaustion packaged around a genuinely brilliant feature #hoping its brightness would camouflage the thinness of everything else #again perhaps I'm projecting but the game *feels* deeply familiar to me in that way

Adorned by stars | Changing States

When he hits the I-70, Jeremiah slots George Michael’s Faith into his ’98 Accord and drives with the windows down. His mother would chide him for two reasons: a) he’s wasting fuel and b) it’s begun to storm. But he likes the way the wind shears through his hair like a nail breaking drywall and he likes the way spats of rain settle on his skin like constellations because on the road, he isn’t just a hand for someone else to hold, a body to handle, a man who looks at another man and fears how much of himself he’s lost in his reflection. No. On the road he is the sky, adorned by stars of his own making, relentless in his abundance, blinking in the absence of any other light.

A little Changing States aesthetic & excerpt!

i'm so normal about him i'm so normal i'm so normal i'm so-

#i can't wait to explain more about this project when I actually get into it #like there's no plot rn but the vibes are impeccable #BUT I DO HAVE A LOGLINE: after a whirlwind romance devastatingly ends #jeremiah moves back to his hometown in maryland for support #only to receive word there’s been a death in the family the day he's set to arrive. #“WHIRLWIND ROMANCE DEVASTATINGLY ENDS” YEAHHH BYEEE #harrison fucked this man up i'm MADDDDDD #you know that scene in BB where harrison's pissed off at the congregation and turns and goes DO ANY OF YOU WANT PITCHFORKS??? #the answer rn should be yes BECAUSE WE'RE HUNTING HIM FOR SPORT (quoting That Post) anyway let me be serious #CW: death/grief talk #like i said this is a little autofiction-y in the sense that last yr my family had a maryland trip planned and right before we left #there was a death in the family (I didn't know the person well but it affected my parents/grandparents/uncles a lot) #so what was a trip to just see family was a trip to go to a funeral #anyway I was thinking about those circumstances and what that's like (like packing funeral clothes when they weren't originally in the plan #and what that funeral was like/how interesting it is that times of grief are also times where family reuintes #as I saw people who wouldn't have ever met me or last met me when I was very little #it was also joyous in ways etc while also being incredibly sad to witness the grief anyway so I was drawn to write about that #because I think about that trip a LOT (I was getting back into SV at the time) #and that was the first time I'd been in MD in a long time (just like this is the first time Jeremiah's been in MD in a long time) #for me it was 4 years so maybe I'll make it a similar timeline for him! #anyway Jeremiah means so much to me ughhhh I’m so grateful I created him #changing states

Had to stop for a moment at work thanks to the sudden realization that thanks to the Mouse Droid fic, it’s canon that Eli Vanto is exactly Tarkin’s type, and that makes his promotion process So Much Funnier in Thrawn.

#Star Wars #Pryce utterly oblivious #Thrawn probably noticing So Much that Tarkin’s watching Vanto. #Vanto’s just there internally grumbling about not being able to do his Imperial Retail Job in Stocking #and like. Thrawn himself is only ever portrayed through outside views #so this whole thing where he doesn’t follow politics isn’t correct to me at least #he’s following everything that’s going on but it’s the same as him pretending to need word clarification from Eli #he knows what’s going on. but engaging with the politics Isn’t The Point #The Point is maneuvering and developing Eli Vanto while also positioning himself to act freely within the empire to his own ends #it’s like bartering for space for his little droid projects: Humans Will Put Up With Shit As long As They Get What They Want #so yes I do believe Thrawn notices this completely #and that Eli Vanto could very much have made his own path to promotion if you get my drift #But he doesn’t. and this pleases Thrawn. #granted he doesn’t make that path because Eli actually IS mostly oblivious to politics because his strategies are escapist and avoidant #‘avoid demotion and then maybe I can get what I really want’ #But Imagining this Ceremony is just So Fucking Funny. because Thrawn’s there like Oh. Interesting. #and Tarkin’s there following Vanto with his eyes like. yes. very interesting. #and Pryce is too busy scheming because she’s Pryce.

Hunter's Drawings

I wish I had a better screenshot of the ones hanging on the wall in the last picture but they really don't get shown very well.

#yes I am saying he drew the stuff on his cast himself - fucking look at it #metal lords #hunter sylvester #metallords #metal lords hunter #I find these all very endearing btw #tag rambles #the mental image of him just doodling away and liking it enough to put it on his wall is just- idk that's adorable to me #not like I don't have my own drawings on the wall but like #it's a slightly quieter side of him than he puts forward throughout most of the movie - yaknow? #there is stuff you can interpret about his character if you include these kind of things I mean maybe I -overdo it- but there's stuff there #he's not that flat of a character imo #but maybe I'm too stuck in my own hcs and characterization and projection #also when I call him adorable please know it's in a “looking at a slightly younger version of yourself without hatred for once” kind of way #and very much not attraction #I relate to him too much I just couldn't #my post

[unmotivatedartistry]

kinda thing i thought of

Even though in canon, most likely this wouldn't end up happening but what if Hank thought that originally, when (if) Connor deviated, that he'd hate him and etc etc because he, by technicality, was his owner and sorta wasn't all that nice in the beginning. Sure, he got better, but he wouldn't admit that to himself, and end up thinking Connor would leave him when he deviated.

Why? Because most deviants left their originally work areas and owners and seemed to resent them when Hank saw it in the cases he and Connor did. And, in this like, au, vision, headcanon, idea, whatever, Connor was pretty cold when he first met Hank which made Hank a little bit of an asshole towards him before Connor started to like.. grow into being alive lol. So, naturally, Hank assumes the minute Connor deviates and actually is alive and has choices that he'd hate Hank for being an asshole and abandon him, right? Correct.

And so he lives like this the entire rest of Connor's pre-deviation. (This like, thought process was especially significant after the Bridge scene.) This like, trying not to get attached to Connor even though he kept seeing him like Cole because he knew he'd leave him ("knew"). He didn't want to feel like he lost a friend, a son, Cole again.

When he saw Sixty come, he knew it wasn't Connor. He knew Connor deviated. He thought Connor had left him. It took all he had not to just fucking re-experience the grief of losing someone again.

Even though they weren't that close, it was just something between the two. (found family go brrrr) Something that made them feel close, like family almost.

Seeing Connor in the Cyberlife Tower felt like a relief. But seeing how he tried so desperately to defend Hank, it shattered his entire world-view. He spent a good portion of knowing Connor thinking he'd leave him after becoming an actual person, but now he was faced with a completely different option. Maybe Connor did care about him?

He'd never admit that he probably cried afterwards. Probably happy to see Connor again and have that one shred of hope. Of course he acted normal (ish) in the tower, had to. Couldn't let Connor know this revelation was happening now.

Seeing Connor after the whole revolution, that fucking hug fucking broke him. Because he thought he'd never see Connor again. He thought Connor woulda hated him afterwards. Turns out, he didn't. Turns out, the dude actually likes him. Wow. Hank never thought that was possible. Especially after how much he hated androids.

Even after Connor was clearly a deviant, even after Connor clearly expressed how he wanted to stay friends with Hank after the revolution, Hank couldn't seem to accept it. He banged into his head that Connor would've left him and now? What else was he supposed to do?

But god DAMN did Connor freak out when he found out. Y'know, imagine finding out that someone who you care about so much and see as a father figure thought you'd leave them.

And Connor managed to work it out with Hank. Probably. Because you don't want to ruin your amazing relationship with your dad basically because of preconceived ideas that can be resolved.

Also might make a comic with this later. Just to overload myself even more with work!

Are you going to post your tlt and religion essay when you’re done with it? Because I’d be very interested in reading it! Hope it goes well!

Thank you! I likely won't post the essay, as it's a group project and not all of the work will be mine. However! I absolutely can and will share the results of my portion--which would be the results and analysis of the religion survey

It seems the least I can do given how incredibly helpful everyone has been, and you're not the first to express interest

If people are also interested, I can ask my groupmates whether they'd be open to me sharing the results of their portions, which are a demographic survey of the queer identities in the fandom (though that groupmate is also on tumblr and you could ask them yourself), and an analysis of common themes in TLT fanart and fanfic.

Given the timeline for the project and the fact I have other classes, any results posted would likely be end of April/early May at the soonest :)

#tlt #the locked tomb #quil's queries #nonsie #i don't know why I'm so surprised the fandom of people about a series with a big focus on religion #are interested in a survey about the series and religion #also this class project is not the most formal in the world. it's more the instructor giving us a practice run of doing research #so it is not a perfect study. there are gaps and errors #then again. this actually isn't my first practice run at all so. i should've known better--my apologies #point is yes i'll share just give me time and also maybe lower your expectations a little because this was unanticipated :)

Continuing from my last post bout Mind, we also need to talk more about how paranoid & untrusting/second-guessing your mind can be cause i think its very interesting

#as somone whos way too paranoid for its own good i like seeing it portrayed into mind #im not projecting you are shush #but like especially the way he sometimes assumes heart is lying or doing thing for attention/pity #cause its like when your brain would tell those things #or maybe thats just my mental illness talking #also not trying to paint heart as innocent here this was just a mind post #heart can also be a bit self centered or the whole claiming to be the victim thing #but also thats not bashing heart either i love the guy too #this is just me looking at some lyrics and how the characters operate and going #“omg hes just like me fr fr” and projecting #none of them are okay and its fun to characterize the reasons why #heart always claims to be the victim mind thinks hes better off without the rest & souls answer to the problem is to off everyone/himself #all bad thoughts but to heal we must take funny lil guys and make them sad #and project said feelings & thoughts unto them #okay im realizing a main reason i like hms/cjs music is i might relate to it too much #im fine i swear #i haven't even talked about the fact i like his two wuv hokum all ye faithful & hallelujah covers a lil too much #i need a cj's music trauma bingo card/j #okay rant over #chonny jash #cj mind
