#count me in EVERY TIME even

[chanelpirate]

I’m simply obsessed with the latest episode of re:dracula also sorry arthur fans for I have overlooked a dramatic king just sending out telegrams that are basically just like ‘sis i got TEA stop’

#redracula #dracula daily #the audio element just really drives it home #imagine a telegram comes in and it just says #‘count me in. I bear news which will make both your ears tingle’ #count me in EVERY TIME even #we stan a king

Because the “shrodinger’s queerbait” nonsense will never go away, indulge me an analogy (and a long post).

wlw ships are the “made from scratch” cake in a world where we only ever expect cake mix from the box.

Say you have a show where, in the first interaction between a male and female character, there is a red box. It could be a Betty Crocker box of cake mix. Because all it takes is just one smile — one wink — one raised eyebrow— and the fans don’t question it. We’re clearly making a cake here. The box is red.

Meanwhile, you have two female characters building their own relationship that have elements that could build to romance. There are eggs in the fridge. A few more episodes, there’s flour in the pantry. Sugar. Baking powder. Queer fans start whispering…we could be making a cake here. Other fans scoff “you will read into anything. They’re just eggs! Everyone has eggs in their fridge!” Maybe so, maybe not. They are written off as discrete ingredients, nothing to see here.

That red box is still sitting in the pantry. Obviously we’re going with that one, and it’s definitely cake mix. That guy and girl stood next to each other again.

The wlw relationship is now full-on batter. It was a cake recipe all along, but it’s not baked yet. The crowd that wrote off every ingredient is now saying the writers are just going to “squander” that box that could be ready-made cake mix or that they’re being “forced” to bake a cake with the very ingredients the writers deliberately bought and put in their pantry.

Now it’s in the oven, the cake is baking. That crowd will still insist it’s forced, or maybe its actually something else, or it’s rushed, or it’s pandering. Whether the writers painstakingly built a pantry to make the cake they truly wanted or they were cultivating good ingredients and realized they had the fixings for a more decadent cake and went there, it doesn’t matter. It’s still a recipe. One that fans who always have to piece together ingredients had hoped for or saw from the get-go, despite being scoffed at and disparaged. Just because that crowd didn’t see (or refused to see) those ingredients as part of a whole, doesn’t make it any less of a recipe.

And wlw fans shouldn’t have to keep writing essays to demonstrate that the wlw “cake” has all the ingredients every cake mix does, or keep pointing out that fans were ready to believe a cake was being baked when they saw a nondescript box, but that they’ll do anything to discredit or doubt the cake from scratch that’s now cooling off on the counter.

It is partly a function of heteronormativity from the audience in immediately seeing romance in any whisper of interaction between m/f characters and passing off all charged interactions between female characters are sisterly or platonic. And it also comes from writers, who are either being cautious so as not to spook corporate overlords or audiences, or who are preserving plausible deniability.

To take the analogy further, box cake mix is fine! It works! It is, practically speaking, what a lot of folks know by default. I thought I was a Duncan Hines girl once myself. Vanilla cake mix has the ingredients measured out, it’s a safe bet, it tastes like cake.

But it doesn’t mean every red box is cake mix. And it doesn’t make the cake that had to be pieced together from scratch due to censorship, caution, time, narrative build-up, what-have-you, any less of a cake.

#Also this is a pillsbury cake mix hate blog so it doesnt count. The good ones have red boxes. #are we discoursing on this fine evening? Why not. #This could be about literally any wlw ship #but as someone who binged 8 volumes of rwby before 9 and missed all the drama but sees the vestiges of it years later somehow #its wild to me. Because as someone who saw the narrative in one gulp #it is very obvious they have put a lot of love and attention into Bumbleby #anyway this applies to #Bumbleby #korrasami #clexa #bubbline #harlivy #i could keep going #Having to defend a wlw ship like it’s a dissertation EVERY TIME is exhausting #And the fact that wlw fans have been burned before shouldn’t be wielded as a sword and a shield every time a wlw ship is viable

I cannot believe no one’s gifed POV Ramattra tilting your chin up with his staff yet. Must I do everything around here.

#Overwatch #Ramattra #I'm going to get SO many 'Your gif was used in a post' Notifications from this one I can feel it #I know you'll never see it but y'all using this gif in your Ramattra X Reader posts I see you. #I'm gonna read every single one of them #Best way to find Character X Readers is to be the person making the hot gifs of the character #I get SO MANY posts from that one Alastor gif I clipped and it wasn't even good #It's not good I don't know why people use it fdkjgkdfjkg #I tried to make it slower but using free online tools the only thing I could do was turn down the frame count #And we don't want that now do we #This is the second time I gifed an Overwatch Omnic for me myself and I #This is the higher quality of the two but the other is Max from last year's Blizcon #Funny considering gifs that loop like this bother my eyes and upset my stomach #but SOMEONE'S gotta do it it might as well be me

very pleased to report that i tried literally counting sheep last night and got my first full night's sleep in like a week in a long period of sleepless nights!!

#not sure if i should say 'this works guys!' because while it worked for me #i'm not sure if it'll work for everyone #but yeah! focusing on counting sheep gave my mind one thought to focus on #so it could drown all the others out! much more effective than just trying to 'think of nothing' which i CANNOT do #and as i got further i began spacing out the counting. i listened to my heartbeat #and after like ten beats i'd count the next sheep #and in between the counting i found my mind drifting sort of aimlessly #vague noise i wasn't fully consciously thinking of #which i think is generally a good sign for me. cause i'm losing control of my thought processes and slipping into dreaming #but every time i'd count another sheep it was fascinating. #'one hundred and sixty sheep' and just like that the background noise was all gone. and my mind was quiet again. wow. #anyway i had a full dream for the first time in a while. my cousin was there. i missed school by accident and was disappointed. #love you all💙 sweet dreams and restful nights on planet earth even though it's ten am for me

#obey me #obey me nightbringer #obey me leviathan #obey me mc #obey me levi x mc #obey me memes #im pretty sure this is the first time ive drawn levi lol #now every brother has shown up in something even if its just their arm (beel) #(but i dont think it counts as really drawing him) #my art #avoiding ph3nix painting cause its totally out of my element but im in way too deep to not finish it #i do like how to coloring came out here #attempting to paint is helping me

Darling, there's a part of me / I'm afraid will always be / trapped within an abstract from a moment of my life.

{Listen on Spotify}

#does it even count as a fandom for me until I make an extremely elaborate 8tracks style blorbo playlist with a full narrative arc ??? #and YEAH I KNOW I put the same bands in my playlists every time - what of it - I have consistent taste #bbc ghosts #bbc ghosts playlist #the captain #the captain ghosts #capvers #captain/havers #capvers playlist #sitzfleischh.edit #anyway this might be my best playlist yet - there is basically an entire fanfic in my head that accompanies this tbh #caphavers #I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABT THE CAPTAIN OK #also more people need to listen to legendary Canadian band the Weakerthans #it didn't fit for this playlist but go listen to Past Due by the Weakerthans and think about all the ghosts and cry

It's always so funny to me when people call Kaz a serial killer or a murderer bc like. boy do I have news for you about the other crows.

#like idk how to tell you this bestie but every single one of them has a kill count. yes even wylan. #prime example of getting so caught up in the aesthetics or character types that you miss the actual reality of what happens in #a story #also i'm not sure serial killer is even an accurate description #similar to when people started referring to inej as an assassin. like bestie that is straight up not what she does. and if it was she's #doing a terrible job. the books tell you a million times that she's a spy #to be clear this isn't an 'uwu kaz did nothing wrong' post esp bc most of the time when ppl call him this they're not actually criticizing #his actions. it's just a pattern i noticed. if anything its a 'stop sanitizing the rest of the crows' post. #but it is interesting to me that kaz is the only character that people will really joke about having killed people #something something you've bought into the dirtyhands legend #i feel like i've made some version of this post in the past but i don't remember so you're hearing it again #six of crows #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #jesper fahey #wylan van eck #matthias helvar #nina zenik

#and to the second stray dogs anniversary of yours truly 🥃 #bsdrewatch2023 #bsd #dark era #technically 2 years and 10 days of having dived headfirst into bsd. but who's counting. aight story time #dark era is so special. somehow it always reminds me of the first time i watched bsd #5 eps in i thought to myself... huh. dad (huge animation & big-brained stuff fan) would love to watch this too #and he did. so every saturday i'd go over to his place and binge as many eps as we could until we finished it a month or so later #and the part i felt he liked most was dark era bc he was HOOKED- and i was overjoyed. #(i.e. he's a Lot of fun to be around when he's interested in something. the wonder is palpable) #not even the 'woah dostoyevsky!?!? bit got him quite like dark era did and it's such a fond memory to me #maybe bc it was the longest of our rare watch parties and the weekly anticipation was real. maybe bc i found my favorite piece of media- #-and the circumstances certainly played a part... yeah. unforgettable #<- when you need an actual post for the ramble so you whip up a phone gif and it looks reasonably crisp?? huh #tldr how was YOUR first time watching bsd? #*edits #*gifs

Hiii welcome to The Thing I’ve Been Working On For Far Too Long !!!! This is an edited map of my WoF Headworld!! This map fallows my personal lore / story for what happens post-books! There are far more ideas I have regarding new structures, how the land changes, etc. , but this was just generally for labeling major locations within each territory! My hope was to wrap this up before the Felid Guide drops so I can compare my map to the canon reveal of locations but I didn’t quite get there and there are still a lot of loose ends. Unfortunately I don��t have much time to work on this anymore and will probably chip away at it privately in pieces , but for now I wanted to share this bit publicly!

The info for the labels on the map are all written out below, but I have primarily complied information in a Google Doc for easier viewing and navigation!

Link to the Google Doc !

Under construction !! Im so sorry I’m stuck on mobile and Tumblrs post editor on mobile is actual shit. the formatting is terrible I’m going bonkers in here. Also it’s stuck sideways for some reason like girl pleaseee turn the other way!!! I will rb this again once I’m able to format it properly.

#for full clarity this shit aint close to finished + I decided to make a map while I was tired as fuck so this map makes so little sense #why did I do a separate number list for every territory . whats up with that . also that ain’t what a key looks like. But its okay!!!! #we vibin!!! #admittedly I just really wanted to get this out before the Guidebook drops w/ updated maps #I wanna compare my names & loctains to theirs #I decided to give all the palaces their own names because I thought it would be cool #every name has a meaning behind it so feel free to uh . ask me if ya want <3 #all the lore here is v well developed so please ask any questions you may have!!! i spent a very long time naming everything and this isnt e #even a comprehensive list of all my location names nor what I think the modern map would really look like #anyway . yeah :) ! #map #tideart #theres art at the bottom of the doc so it counts I guess

I uncovered an archival Maverick photo from messenger chat files this week ❤

#dogblr #maverick #mav memories #my face #oh my god i miss mav #there arent really words #its been three months and its a little easier #but it still cuts straight through me like a knife #he deserved so many more years and so many more adventures #we deserved so many more adventures #big ones and little ones and life changing ones and ones that kind of sucked #its not fair that we didnt even get five years #but we stuffed a lot into those almost five years #a lot of adventures and a lot of accomplishments and a lot of love #and that has to count for something #every time i unconver an archival mav photo its a delight #but i also sort of dread it because i know theres going to be a day where there are no more archival photos to uncover #and thats a whole different unfairness that i didnt expect

How do you make The Mire even creepier? You put ‘em in the ocean! Mermay Mire! Mermire?

#high rollers #rollonsunday #hr cos #the mire #mermay #you won’t believe the horrors I had to look at as reference for this #I already put myself through the horrors anytime I draw the regular mire #but I’m terrified of everything ocean related #So this was the absolute worst #But I also got to draw some jellyfish and I like drawing jellyfish so it was good #I had to cheat a little bit with mulchy Mire because most things that live in the ocean qualify as ‘animals’? #even stuff that definitely looks like plants to me #So there isn’t a 100% guarantee that everything on mulchy mire is a plant or fungus #Coral counts as an animal apparently? But I put some dead coral on mulchy mire because I think that should be fine #It’s been a long time since I spent this much time on one drawing. 8 hours! #But some of that time was also me trying to figure out how reference works #And also me shouting ewww what is thaaaat every few minutes

venting in the tags again bc i'm literally shaking right now wtf

#god i hate it so much #my exams start on monday and i'm not even halfway through everything i need to know for my first exam #i've had all the holidays to study but i just can't concentrate on anything #i've been in my room all day every day (except the days i spent w family like christmas and new year ofc) #and seemingly i'm studying all day #my family thinks i spend all day studying #but the only thing i'm capable of doing most of the time is stare at the things i have to do w/o having any idea of wtf i'm doing #my brain won't shut tf up and telling me stuff that i know are not true #but i just can't #i feel like i've been having an anxiety attack non stop since this monday #not very bad most of the time but it doesn't really stop yk? #and i feel like i have a weight on my chest that i can't really take off #i've been going to therapy and we've come to the conclusion that the cause of my anxiety overall are my studies #(not counting my social anxiety that's been getting worse every day to the point that i don't even want to go out with my best friends) #which doesn't really surprise me but it's just Too Much #i just want to drop everything but since idk what i'd do if i quit this career i chose to do my exams #bc maybe they are useful if i do change my path #but i just can't find it in me to focus and study because my mind is racing all the time #i just want to lie down and cry but i don't even have the strength to do that #i just feel so weak and miserable ever since i started uni and every day it gets worse and worse #my mind just screams at me saying #'stop complaining all the time. no one cares. everyone goes through stuff like that. you're no different. stfu and study like everyone does' #and i know i could do it if i tried but i just can't #why tf is it so difficult to be normal and do what i'm supposed to do for once ffs.... #venting #maca speaks
