#anyway good night sweet people!

[vimbry]

jumping off the back of the post about genres of song lyrics, another thing about tmbg's lyrics in particular is that even when they write about pleasant themes, they still manage to frequently do so through a sinister lens:

the experience of having children and looking after them:

a nice little nightlight protecting a child muses on the shortcomings it would have outside its assigned responsibility:

fantasising about getting high in the park with your crush:

#tmbg #AND. I love it. #please feel free to add to this btw. I feel like there's more flansburgh examples but they're dropping out of my head #I've gone on and on about ''sleeping in the flowers'' already. so I won't repeat myself too much in the tags here #but I can also see how it's intended to come across as playful. like. #it's two people in love having a silly exchange between each other #I also like the little interlude from the nightlight's lullaby-of-sorts to the child to describing how it would make a really bad lighthous #''man it's a good thing I'm not one of those. I'm too small. if I did that then people at sea would crash and drown horribly hahaha #anyway good night'' #and actually re: nanobots. it only just occurred to me #I'd gotten 'newborn citizenship of the micronations'' being a verbose way to describe. babies lol #but is the start of verse about the actual birth of a child and getting so distracted by the preparation and stress #that you almost forget oh yeah. I have this kid now :) #and thinking about how even tho your worries around that are now over you'll focus instead on all the future responsibilities you'll have #how does something written in such a detatched way manage to be so sweet

uses carlos to convey the woes of unanticipated touch verses familiar and wanted touch

#some messy sketches to soothe the itch #my boss is v sweet but she always taps my shoulder at work to get my attention #so btwn that and strangers just randomly touching my hair bc its curly #(which happened twice today ) #i was like Enough #anyways i think carlos is very aware of his space and how he interscts with people #he doesnt like sudden an impromptu touches #all the people who work at his lab know this and do their best to accomodate #and steve always asks now before he gives huge hugs #etc etc #i love carlos sooooooo much #ive been wanting to do a comic where him and cecil talk about boundaries — i have one from 4ever ago post DOW #in my brain #ngl them being implied to use handcuffs in da bedroom is like.. using kink to accomodate carlos’ need to be able to pull away yknow? #like the color system is So Good for being able to say hey lets stop or maybe not like that without having to verbalize so much in the momen #yknow #wtnv #welcome to night vale #cecilos #cecil palmer #carlos the scientist #night vale #art tag #wips

thinking thouts about sirius and halsin as i fall asleep 🐻🩷

#thinking about halsin being like 'my heart does not stir easily. but it does now' 🥺 #like he's over 300 years old and had so many lovers during that time #but he truly acts like tav is THE love of his very long life and i think that is so sweet #and i feel like people are too stuck on the non-monogomous part of the relationship #and make it seem like it's not as loving and special as the other relationships in the game for some reason #like halsin doesn't seem to care about tav at all simply because of that #which isn't true!!! like if you talk to him while romancing him #you can just hear the adoration in his voice 😭🥺 i think his voice actor (i'm sorry can't remember his name rn) did a really good job on #that #anyway sorry now i sleep and tomorrow i will play again #good night #💬 #bg3 ramblings

the litmus for whether a karaoke place is good is whether you can do 500 Miles and count on your fellow karaoke-goers to have your back on the dadadatdas

#the worst karaoke experience I've ever had was a Middle Aged White People Bar where nobody even CLAPPED #everyone just sitting and staring in silent indifference while waiting for their turn for a flaccid attempt at tim mcgraw #like I've DONE karaoke with my mom at other places with similar demographics and music tastes but they seemed to be HAVING FUN??? #if I wanted to be stared at blankly by a bunch of old people and made to feel awkward for trying to have fun I'd sing at the grocery store #anyway other than that one time I've more or less had fun any time I've done karaoke #but The Really Good Place was full of people who had the good sense and joyful spirit to join in on your 500 Mileses and Sweet Carolines #also every single week SOMEBODY would do Be A Man from mulan which was always a loud and enthusiastic whole bar affair #it wasn't always the same person it's just that somebody had to or the night felt incomplete #ditto I Believe In A Thing Called Love which iirc was traditionally the night's closer #FUCK I miss karaoke #about me

I love this disaster bard sm you don’t even know 💕

#the witcher #dandelion #jaskier #priscilla #digital art #procreate #my art #doodle #I’ve just been collecting shitty doodles of him lmao #I never know how to caption things so I’m just sitting on a bunch of drawings rip #how do people do it….. it’s so hard xc #also I did mean to post a little earlier but I had surgery lol I’m much better now tho!gods willing I will clear out some of my drafts now🙏 #or finish my wips lmao I have sooo many ToT pls my brain let me finish some #anyway I drew all of these at different times but I like to think that they’re all part of dandy’s attemps at getting (oblivious) geralt #to notice that he’s been in love w him for years and he’d be totally down to get some of that sweet witcher ass #I also like to imagine that the attempts of dumb as hell and mostly consist of things they already do together like get dinner etc but with #dandelion batting his eyelashes more and posing ‘seductively ‘ #geralt thinks he’s getting sick or something #Priscilla is despairing and wishes he would just tell him with words already instead of crying to her every night when he ‘didn’t even #notice how good his ass looked today!!’ #ok I think I’m done thanks for indulging me lol

They won so many 😵‍💫

Yet people don’t remember them much tsktsktsk

oh my god look at them all.

#slade #well i've heard their name a lot growing up because of my dad #but it's the same with sweet #and i guess showaddywaddy too? #and actually SO many bands #as far as the 'popular at the time but not anymore' thing #and among other reasons this is part of why i've been leaning more towards bands like them #it's almost like they stopped existing except for a small amount of people #even though they're really good #and put so much work into everything they've done #it just feels right to give them the attention and recognition that i think they still deserve and always will #even if almost nobody cares to know about them #i care #so i will post them anyway #and talk about them night and day

[hawnks]

actually, love is when they know you want to be hugged so hard you lose your breath because you hang on for just a second longer than usual

#hello if you’re reading this I hope your nigbt has been lovely!! #mwah mwah mwah!! #feeling very tender about the people in my orbit tonight #everyone is so very different in so many ways #only here and now we would be able to go out for a drink together #and sing karaoke in the shittiest dive bar in town #love is when the whole bar sings rasputin becuase I think it’s funny #love is me and the regular bar tender laughing about how busy it is tonight of all nights #love is our age ranges from 70 to 21 and our geographical origins are across the globe but we all know all the words to bohemian rhapsody #love is cheering so loud that everyone who came by themself tonight feels like they killed it on the mic #and it’s good #anyway….. I’m off to eepy time now #good night and sweet dreams my little sparrows <3

What's your interpretation of the weird/annoyed look Five gets on his face when Tegan announces that she wants to rejoin the TARDIS at the end of Arc of Infinity? I know it was probably meant to be played for laughs, but it annoys me every time i watch that episode and i'm curious what headcanons people have about it.

My favourite thing I've read about it pointed out that the cybermen specifically used Tegan as a weakness against five, that she's what it took to manipulate him (and through no fault of either of them, Adric's death was part of those consequences.) The novelisation really goes in to the descriptions of the doctor transfixed with the blood running down Tegan's chin from her bitten lip, the building tension as the cybermen get closer and closer to killing her and he's shaking trying to hold himself back from admitting his hearts are so easy to twist, just by threatening his friends. (Does Nyssa ever leave the TARDIS when it's on the spaceship? The cybermen don't even know she exists til they come onboard do they?)

As for why he looks so annoyed? hmmm. Does anyone want someone around that constantly needles them? Really, I think pre Arc of Infinity that even though Tegan had chosen to stay, they still had that power imbalance or even just tension between them that she had not come on board willingly. So five is expecting that to be the continuing, I don't know, continuing manner between them and it hadn't been good. It had its moments (mainly in the audios) but as an arrangement it was not ideal as friends to explore the universe together, all that terrible beauty and awesome monsters.

But it doesn't continue on in that manner - oh they bicker and make faces at each other, sure, but Tegan's conscious decision to step back onto the TARDIS irons out those imbalances, removes that bitterness and the past of her aunt's death. So when he makes that wee face, it's in expectation of the previous status quo. And never let it be said that Tegan's one to do exactly what's expected of her.

Anyway I really hope this makes sense and I may add some more thoughts later but it's 1:50 am Christmas Eve and I couldn't sleep for thinking about this.

----

It's 2am I'm back. I feel like there's also this uneasiness in five about tegan, that mirror that no one likes being held up to themselves. Their similarities but the starkly different ways they express them must be exhausting to five. and here she is back again. To push and prod and challenge and be brashly beautifully glorious. wait. that last bit was the two am shipper coming out. Anyway they draw strength and resolve and anger from each other and Tegan was vital to five, from his first moments till his very last.

#again sorry if it's not coherent but it's been a WEEK. and it's still going. #look away if you're not interested because whatever it's my boring life stuff but. worked sunday and tuesday. thursday my boss texted me #did i want to go up to the next largest city flights and accomodation paid and worked for two weeks at their branch of our shop. #(i said no thank you but holy sht.) and that whole day we'd been taking the house apart looking for dads santa outfit for reading #night before christmas to the kids. utterly gone. nowhere to be found. sister said she had one so we were like oof we can relax it's fine. #sister did not in fact have one. so we took the house apart again. still not here. friday i went out and bought the fabric and fur to Make #one (six straight hours work on the jacket alone) and the kids come up to decorate their trees. #oh! and! when i went in to work to buy the fur (i can only purchase stuff of managers it's store policy) she was like. you can't leave the #shop. stay here. and i went no???? have i done something wrong??? but another manager came down and the managers had put together little #Christmas gift bags for everyone which is so sweet because i still feel like I'm there on sufferance even though it's been like 4 months. #but then. seven o'clock or so when i was still cutting up panne velvet i get an email from the boss who offered me the chch opportunity - #he's now quitting his position at our store. two weeks notice. so I'm stressed about that because we had a good thing going where he'd text #me once a week. we'd arrange extra shifts and that was it. what if the new store manager sucks or hates me or something?? #and I've got like five half finished advent fics but i just. don't have the spoons between work tired and c19 brain fog and christmas tired #anyway none of this is about five and Tegan I'm so sorry i just need about ten more weighted blankets on me. #five #tegan #an ask a palpable ask #srsly i love being asked about them or any dw opinions you are so wonderful in my eyes #tbh the advent fics are getting to the point i might just post them all the way through January and when i write little ficlets. people #seem vaguely to be enjoying them but trying to do a December thing was a bit much. #I've just realised this week was even longer. last Saturday we spent the whole day out of town with the kids. and Tuesday we went out of #town to do the stuff we'd planned to do before we had to babysit them on our planned trip day. jfc no wonder I can't brain straight

Yk I had (have) some issues with some of my new courses this semester, but over the weekend, I had wonderful company, and this week, I cooked with one of my flatmates and it was really nice, and today I had a lecture about law + translation that was really interesting, and another one about business translation that was complicated but I'll definitely learn a lot, and another one with the same teacher who is so nice and motivated about audiovisual translation and it was so good, and since there's a project/exhibit about the Nuremberg trials + translators at my institute soon, we'll do the subtitles for one of the videos there and get to do an actual project that we'll see the outcome of past "oh yeah got a grade for it", and after the last two days filled with "meh" and "get me out of here" classes, I am finally actually excited again about (at least parts of) going to uni and doing a masters and going to classes and learn things and maybe even work in that field someday in the future 🥺✨

#also had an abyssmal class with a sexist professor but we move #idk why most people don't like the business + audiovisual teacher #yes you have to do a lot her courses are a lot of work and very challenging sometimes but you sure learn a lot #and she's really nice too imo #everyone say thank you ms (redacted) i needed that excitement again #and doing actual work instead of just learning about all that theory and barely using it #but also. now more than ever am i convinced i need to get checked for adhd or *something* #i spent the last three days in classes where i had to constantly repeat everything the teachers said in my head to kind of process it #and spaced out every few minutes for a few minutes to come back and realise i hadn't heard a word they'd said in the past 5 minutes #i'll get onto that i promise (to myself) #anyway. a nice evening and a very thank you to ms (redacted) and her business translation and audiovisual translation classes #and her general motivation and happy attitude. why most people don't like her i'll never know #she was so sweet too when i emailed her after my first diagnosis where i explained why i'd been so shit in her classes i actually liked a #-lot #said to take it easy and take care of myself and she'd already suspected smt was up as she'd known me as a good student before #am i making sense? idk it's 1:14am #i'll go to bed at 2 at the latest hopefully #good night #mine #but yk if someone has suggestions for translation/audiovisual translation/subtitling internships or smt do let me know ahjahaj

Officially changed the name of the account !

As I said nothing will truly change, I'll still post incorrect quotes, headlines (you guys seem to like them 😭 thank you btw ! 💕) so don't worry lmao, but I was maybe thinking about sharing headcanons too ?

Idk if that's interesting for you, you mostly followed for funny headlines and quotes not me talking about what's in my brain 💀

Anyway, idk, feel free to let me know, as said in my bio I'm a bit scared of the internet as I never shared anything before like I do here 🙏 maybe when I'll feel less anxious to share I'll do it

I even made some reference sheets for some of my favs characters on my Insta private story so ! Maybe I'll share them here one day idk

#aaaah idk why I'm so scared of sharing #i think it's bc I have some unpopular opinions ?? we're not on twitter so I should be fine but. #i have too many strong opinions to not feel anxious about sharing 💀 #especially shipping hcs.....no because sorry but the ¾ of Sweet Home ships fucking SUCK sorry #Jae-Heon/Sang-Wook is almost the only one that doesn't make me want to stab my head against a corner of a table #even tho I like them platonic better I think the shippers are really cool little people #anyway that's why I'm hiding here instead of screaming it on Tumblr #Lan's ramblings #ok good night it's 2am #btw I don't hate other shippers or anything lmao I don't really hate people just for a ship but the ships themselves are just bad to me

◤❀Cнαrαcтer'ѕ Sтυdy: ✿◢

➤ The thing is about Jaal is that he is open with all his emotions as well as being honest with them. Anger, happiness, joy, being in pain, etc. We can see how open he is throughout Andromeda. Ranging from how he'll start yelling in anger when the Ketts is working their experiments on the Salarians to looking extremely hurt if you choose the option to reject him. He'll laugh loudly if a joke amuses him. You can see how curious he is when learning about others, going as far as asking as many questions about the other alien species or what the Tempest crew does for fun. We even see him stating how he doesn't like Kadara and is confused on why Ryder is shushing him on how open he feels about Kadara.

Every single emotion he feels is out in the open. It's loud and clear, regardless of how he shows it. His body language or how he states his honest thoughts. While this can be a downside for him because people can take advantage, Jaal doesn't care. It's how his people were raised on. He was raised to be loud with his emotions.

So, you will not have a single doubt about what he feels towards you. You don't have to worry if he secretly hates you or secretly loves you. He will make it clear as soon as he can do so and when it's the right time.

#『Hᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴs﹕』 #anyways this has been on my mind #he's not the only one who shows this from his people #all his people are open with their emotions #good night and sweet dreams!
