#constant movement

[random-xpressions]

When you're away from someone, you may think that physical distance is killing and that nearness, proximity, closeness becomes the dearest of all things to you. But eventually you'll begin to see that to get physically close with someone means nothing at all. You've walked through crowded streets - do you feel intimate with every individual that's around? To feel really close with someone is a totally different thing. It is to actually grasp a person and the journey they're going through because the moment you think you've caught them, they've already moved to a different plain of thought. So there's this constant journeying they're in and to catch up with them on each station and to see them for where they're and where they're heading towards, that's more important. Needless to say that you'll be yourself having your own journey. So there are two individuals orbiting on their individual journeys and have to at the same time be able to understand and align with the other. Quite a task. Its like you're playing your own rhythm but then you'll have to blend that with the rhythm of the other so that they both compliment each other instead of those rhythms appearing as a mismatch or getting crowded. That's what I would call is proximity, just like the moon, forever to be in the earth's vicinity, eternally near, and inseparable...

#Just bouncing around everywhere #constant movement #fluid movement #energetic #movement

as someone who knows the animation pipeline deeply and has spent most of my life being very passionate abt the medium as a whole, seeing objectively wrong opinions about the dunmeshi anime and calling it "cheap and ugly" is insane to me

#tunaspeak #i saw a post in the tag that just drove me insane i am actually biting ankles #i will concede there are parts that could've been approached differently but.... #animation is a whole different field you cannot expect to have them constantly moving.. that would take So much time and work for something #that would not necessarily Improve a punchline or moment #animation is all about knowing when and where to emphasize and choosing this wisely #to expect constant movement to be Good is a ridiculous notion

tonight on 'the simplest things can drive a person feral'

Any variation on 'nose twitching'. Just the mental image of a nose, so desperately itchy that it can't help moving. A tickle so deep that, even without any outside interference, it just has to move.

It quivers, vibrates, flares, twitches, yearning for any form of relief. Maybe it's squished against an entire palm, feeling the hot breath against the skin. Or perhaps a single finger is brought up, trying to coax out an end to this ordeal

But it's just so sensitive, and when the hands are dropped once more, the nose is left to fend for itself against the waves of irritation, helplessly twitching once more~

Bonus points for the bearer of said nose experiencing any thoughts/feelings about how noticeably their nose is twitching~ Maybe embarrassment that everyone can tell, or a lighter humour that it 'has a mind of it's own'~

#waterfalltalks #waterfallferalhours #twitching... just twitching noses is sending me tonight i dont know why #someone running their finger down it... feeling every movement as the recipient can't help but gasp... #maybe they pull the hand closer- trying to help guide it to that spot #the one that will finally bring them some relief from the constant movement #afosifjaoisgkjnkslagd yeah hi throwing this into the void and retreating back to my corner <3 #snz thoughts #snzkink

Favourite headcanon about GtN is that when Harrow was off to explore Canaan House alone she was being obnoxiously bad at sneaking around and literally half of the people there only got as far as they did is because well if you see the VERY UNSUBTLE BONE NUN that wears VERY LOUD BONE JEWELLERY sneaking around somewhere there's probably something worth looking at nearby

#her movement is as subtle as her romantic ambitions #i just. i have to imagine that bone rosary has to make constant noise right?? #especially since gideon was very much obviously wandering around on her own its like #oh the nerd left her bodyguard?? the one that could watch out for someone following her?? #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #tlt spoilers #harrowhark nonagesimus

Hey, yanno how Climate Change is a real thing that is tangibly, at this moment, affecting our world?

Well it turns out, the wealthy and their investment firms have been seeing the mounting evidence that oil companies have had for decades and are slowly starting to think more long-term about their portfolios in the face of rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and the myriad of ways climate crises are affecting...well. Everything. Maybe this means they invest more into sustainability, green energy, building more resilient infrastructure, or carbon offsets. Some of it, of course, is simple corporate greenwashing, but there are those that are taking this trend and packaging it into something called ESG (Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance).

Now some people would say this is predictable, even sensible. Just the good ol’ Free Market(tm) rationally responding to market forces and a changing world.

But those people would be fools! Insidious fools! For conservative sorcerers have come out with a new cursed phrase to explain this new market trend: Woke Investing.

What makes this investing “woke?” Well, much like how conservatives normally flounder when trying to define a word they stole from black people, “Woke Investing” essentially just means any kind of capital investment that they, the fossil fuel billionaire class and their sycophants, don’t personally profit from.

One of these aforementioned sycophants is Andy Puzder, conservative commentator, fellow at The Heritage Foundation, and former fast-food CEO. He calls this kind of so-called woke investing “socialism in sheep’s clothing,” further explaining in leaked audio of a closed-door meeting:

“My father's generation's challenge was the Nazis, who, by the way, were, of course, very proud socialists[citation fucking needed]. The challenge of my generation was the communists, who were, of course, very committed socialists. The challenge of your generation is ESG investing, and it's more insidious than communism or the Nazis.”(source)

You heard it here first, folks. Not investing as much in fossil fuels is more insidious than the Third Fucking Reich.

As usual, the Heritage Foundation is putting their petro-chemical donor’s money where their mouth is. Bills are being proposed to blacklist banks that don’t invest in key state industries, such as West Virginia coal or Texas oil. Fourteen states have already passed bills to restrict ESG-type investing, with Florida Governor Ron “Bullies Kids for Wearing Masks” Desantis leading the charge.

In other words, Climate Denial has reached such a point that so-called Free Market Conservatives who claim to hate big government are trying to make it illegal for banks, investment firms, and financial institutions to make any financial decisions that acknowledges Climate Change is real.

#of course ESG has also been used to describe any kind of internal corporate action #to increase diversity in the work place or implementing new anti-discrimination policies #(which are usually more performative than actually meaningful but that's a separate issue) #a Republican Presidential candidate #Vivek Ramaswamy #has even made ESG investing his personal bugbear #writing such books as 'Woke Inc' and warning of socially conscious investors ''forcing'' companies they invest in #to devote resources to environmental and social policies that are anathema to the right #which is just...a brand new invented crisis by a political movement #in constant need of a crisis to rally their base and justify for draconian legal controls #to favor certain industries and undercut their competition #all under the guise of red scare-type moral and economic panic #ESG #Woke Politics #Climate Change #Capitalism #Republicans #Investment

Thinking abt Zarbon . You guys know Zarbon? From Dragon Ball Z?

Yeah

#i forgot my text post tag #sticker book #i think its just the bottom left thats new #I love u dbz and ur constant use of Transformation as a Character or Plot Device #its cool when .. u become… a different self…… #And it is cool when this is something ur maybe conflicted about. for whatever reasons. #but it is necessary… it becomes the movement of a majority of the middle to end game #like cell has to ascend through pretty clearly marked levels of Transformation of the Self #(Cell)f #lol #but i mean you know what I am talking about. it’s interesting……… #I’m PROBABLY misremembering but i think this is the first taste of Different Forms and like marked levels of power that affect appearance #and it just snowballs from there and culminates in UUB like god it’s genius. it’s so good

rewatching S6 in bits and pieces for current fic and ahhhhhhhhhh but the whole Jack, Diana, Mosley and Lizzie final dinner is so *viscerally* fucking satisfying on every sensory and intellectual and emotional level of consumption.

#every single movement facial expression breath flick of an eye the choice of 'mosley' not 'mr mosley' #the way mosley says 'lizzie' for the first time #jack's buildup and his mad fucking innuendo just before diana and oswald show #particularly how every drink is taken and by whom and when #lizzie constantly holding herself back the entire time from Saying Something all these flinches and half-breaths #insane #INSANE #as much as the end of S3 is roaringly wrenchingly furiously emotionally good #this dinner is something else #this whole episode is pretty much something else though fffffffffffff #jack's patronising constant reference to tommy as if he's a much younger man/boy when you look at these two guys and jack looks younger?? #by design i am sure #in the scene with the tie before the dinner.the way tommy's face says one thing while facing away from lizzie #then he puts on that mask as he turns to face her and you can SEE HIM DO THAT jesus #it would a writing exercise and a half to actually try to capture that scene in writing and work out what needs to be said/described #to carry the same effect because @coffeeatnight23 -> this scene is totally Tommy ripping his own heart out then eating it with relish :) #it *is* the saddest thing but also a fucking *reclamation* of something that tommy hasn't had since his suicide attempt. there's lots of #small reclamations of self that happen in post-Ruby S6 i seem to recall. despite flicks old trauma/foggy memory wandering also this- #-sort of structural shift/acceptance he is who he is and that is how he has agency (not solely money?) #anyway it's not triumph but there is *something* that i haven't found the word for yet #acceptance is one word but there's something more vicarious and dark in it that acceptance doesn't connote

as I'm going back over my past history and items and journals and years, I come across all sorts of things, like the pencil I saved from that so-precious memory from second grade, and a pair of flip flops I've been missing for two years, and (tw for murder/crime/killings) the modern-high-school-AU-kidnapped-by-a-serial-killer story I wrote in late high school jdfsjdfsjkjlksfd

5 and 7 for Ockham ⚓🪞💙

5. Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech! Will they give one, and what about?

This is the exact nonsense the Navy pulled on Ockham back on the surface. Ockham will not give a speech in English. Ockham probably wouldn't do it in Flemish either, because what's heshethey supposed to say? If you tried to put himherthem on the spot at, say, a wedding, you'd probably end up with a sentence and a half and vague disappointment. It's possible to get Ockham to talk about things that heshethey're interested in (food and minor craft/engineering projects seem to be lucrative topics), but in a conversation, as opposed to a speech.

7. Describe them in three words. Now let them describe themself in three words.

Sedate, iceberg, opinionated.

Frustrated, untethered, managing.

#ockham #very vague descriptors #there's a lot going on with ockham under the surface exterior #and heshethey seems to be relatively calm #but is mostly just not saying much about how heshethey're really feeling #sedate isn't quite the right word but i'm blanking on an english one #ockham has kind of a calm sea-like quality to hishertheir energy and movements #calm yet in constant and slow motion #everything has a certain degree of weight to it #but not in an immutable way

FEBUWHUMP DAY 24 - "I'm doing this because I care about you"

CW: dubcon touching, disabled Whumpee, regretful Whumper

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

The Jays were winning - at least that's what Elliot suspected, given the commentators' roar coming from the TV.

He sat at the bottom end of the bed, Chris hovering over his left shoulder like a hawk, and tried his best to enjoy the late-afternoon baseball match.

For what felt like an eternity now, Chris had waited for a good day, a good hour to start this special kind of torture. One had to ask if there was any sense to it all. If Fahim's professional efforts back at the hospital left Elliot like this, what could the maker do against his permanent souvenir?

Still, Morris had fought tooth and nail for this chance and finally, he didn't dare to betray this hard-earned trust. Rule number one Elliot had made extremely clear: don't touch the hand. 

Okay then, Chris could work around that. He started slowly, dots of lotion were carefully rubbed across the neck and shoulder to help ease a first group of sore muscles.

Even one single touch burned like the infection was still lingering inside. Deep breaths kept Elliot stable, though he indulged in the fantasy of jumping up and out the window. Again and again, his muscles were worked until red, until circulation had found its way back towards them. 

Just as both men got used to the uncomfortable dynamic, Chris stumbled on a noticeably denser point inside the tissue.

Pressing down on the trigger point with more force, the good kind of pain, the one that brought relief with it, flooded Elliot. It even reached behind his eyes, coaxing a quiet moan out of him, as the finger fought the possible birthplace of the headaches that haunted him on really lousy days.

Satisfied with his subject's compliance, Chris dared to move lower, kneading along his upper arm as if he were trying to wring his biceps out like a wet towel. Call it pain-induced placebo, but Elliot felt a sense of ease spread underneath the constant burn.

A few inches further proximal, a cluster of hardened muscle cords slumbered underneath cold skin. Chris, using the same intensity as before, pressed his thumb into it.

A coiling sting, the bad kind this time, tore through his joints and made him leap up in surprise.

"Easy with the pressure, man."

"You're not wounded here," Chris claimed matter-of-factly.

What a pretty way to tell me to shut it, Elliot thought to himself. Even though the festering heat did have its root in the bright red scar under his fingers, it still sprouted throughout his upper body erratically. He groaned: "No, but-"

"Then it's fine."

"It's not, it hurts!"

Morris huffed, his face glowing crimson in the TV lighting: "I can get this to work, just be more patient."

"I'm not a rusty hinge you can bend straight again!"

Withdrawing quickly, too quickly for his nerves' liking, Elliot escaped the wrench-like hold. Great strategy, just squeeze every last drop of optimism from me.

Defeated and huffy, Chris just dropped back against the headboard and pulled him close against his chest. Another word and his Ell would probably give him the cold shoulder until dawn.

In silence, they returned to watch the game unfold. The Jays were definitely winning tonight.

Careful to let his hand rest at a relieving angle, they both knew that every step towards Elliot's recovery was frustratingly tedious and without any guarantee of success. Tomorrow, Chris would try again.

I need you guys to understand that Astarion is not sexy to me. he just isnt. His sex scene made me laugh. his seduction is cringe and he has no game and this is absolutely vital to me

#fuck the in-game models too tbh #in my heart he is scrawny and poorly drawn and sickly-looking #he has the fashion sense of a 14th-century french aristocrat #what makes astarion attractive to me is how earnest he gets when he starts to trust you #that's it #the breaking down of seductive porcelain perfection into bodily flaws and messy physical functions and gross vulnerabilities #the admittance of his own humanity #the astarion i love the most is human. he's sweaty he's gross he gets sick he belches and farts he's ugly and physically flawed and queer #it's the way his movements and animations become animalistic when he isn't paying attention even though he HATES that tendency #it's the constant push and pull struggle between perfection and mortal grossness

"really? dating someone you rescued? you know that never ends well"

"this is different. anyway—"

no, no tell me how it's different buck. is it because it's not really about dating her at all? is it because she sees you, or because she doesn't see you? doesn't know you any deeper than you want her to? doesn't expect anything from you because she doesn't have a pre-lightning buck to compare it to? is it because she looks at you and you don't see your own fear reflected back at you the way it is with all the people who loved you and watched you die?

"the truth is, I still don't know how to act. I am different, but I feel like I have to try and be the same old buck, mostly for the sake of everyone else"

for everyone else, you say? everyone who is out here saying thing like:

"buck, you died"

"buck. you died"

"you died, buck"

"three minutes and seventeen seconds"

"whatever it is you're feeling, you don't have to hide it"

while you're over here saying:

"I feel fine"

"you have to stop trying to fix me, maddie"

"please don't ask me how I'm feeling"

"you can't cut me any slack"

idk buck maybe it's just me, but it seems like the only person who is putting pressure on you to be the same old buck is yourself. and maybe that is for the sake of everyone else, maybe you just don't want them to worry. or maybe you're the one who is scared, maybe you're the who doesn't know how to face it, how to process it, how heal and keep moving forward. how to grieve because maybe you aren't dead, but you died, and you're allowed to not be okay about that

"when I woke up in that hospital, I felt like I had gotten away with something"

maybe you don't want to face it and move on? maybe you don't think you're allowed to? maybe you did get away with something, maybe you've been getting away with it your whole life, except this time death had you. you died. all those times you've skated through a near death experience finally caught up to you, but somehow you got away with it this time too and you don't understand why

"my life could have ended, right then and then, but it didn't. that has to mean something"

"It means you're one lucky guy"

"yeah, well, I don't think I'm going to get that lucky again"

"maybe you don't have to"

you've spent your whole life looking for signs from the universe, looking for answers, looking for something to make it all make sense. you think natalia will have those answers, but you're so busy searching that you're not looking right in front of you. you're not listening.

you died, buck, you're gonna feel a lot of different ways about that, sometimes all at the same time. you don't have to be anything for anybody. you think you’re expendable but you’re wrong. I know you did. there’s no one in the world I trust with my son more than you.

you want it to mean something? you want the secret to happiness? you want someone to see you? to see more in you than you see in yourself? well maybe you should stop trying so hard to find it and realise you've already made it. you've already been chosen a hundred times over, now you just to wake up and see it

#Evan Buckley #Eddie Diaz #911 Fox #911 Spoilers #sorry if this makes no sense I just poured all my feelings into my keyboard idk #there's just something about buck's biggest obstacle to happiness being himself #his own fear and insecurities and constant searching for answers #but at the same time the way he always removes himself from the equation #it's like looking everywhere for your phone only to realise it was in your hand the whole time #also speaking of hands. both of them have their hands in their pockets this whole talk #they're standing right beside each other but they're not reaching out #they're so so close but they're not touching #every movement towards each other is a near miss #it's all mixed signals and near misses #talking to each other and around each other at the same time #and most of the time it's buck moving closer but never close enough #eddie is standing there - he's always been right there - but buck just isn't quite getting it
