#disconnected series

[taliskermortem]

so the top/mew sex scene? fascinating. they made so many choices regarding it and i'm honestly intrigued.

((this got way too long so i'm putting it under the cut))

the first thing i noticed was how their scene had almost no noise. it was dead quiet. and the lighting felt almost clinical.

now in comparison to some of the other sex scenes we've seen so far it was... pretty tame. which is fine. but we basically didn't see any of the 'sex'. we got the kissing. and we got the afterglow cuddles. and on top of that... there was no passion.

but let's start from the beginning.

'does this mean i passed your test?' a relationship shouldn't a test. and i think it says a lot about top that that is how he views it. its a challenge. a competition. maybe even a distraction. this has been his goal: get mew to have sex with him. and he's succeeded. but what happens now?

now in comparison to the first time, in episode 1 when they make out in mew's kitchen there are some noticable differences. firstly, their kiss is much more intense. now you can write this off as this kiss being sweet and romantic but... there is so much space between their bodies when they kiss. the only points of contact are their lips and top's hand on the back of mew's head.

then they undress themselves. not each other. top just strips and mew follows suit. the first time, top at least takes mew's shirt off for him. this time he barely touches mew. there's no romantically revealing each other. which is interesting because the first thing top says is: can you see me? can you see what top has revealed to mew. not what mew revealed himself. and mew is all of course i can because he really seems to think he does. but anyway. they're still not even touching.

and then

and THEN

i love you mew

like my dude where did that come from what a line you really just went in for the final kill didn't you. he's serving himself up to you already and you just had to make sure there was nothing left.

and then they are in their boxers kissing. and there is still so much SPACE.

and then top puts mew down on the sofa. now i'm not being funny but there is literally a perfectly functioning massive bed RIGHT THERE. but whatever. who wants comfort? who wants space? who doesnt want to accidentally fall onto the floor? i digress.

they're touching now. finally. but mew is just kind of lying there whilst top does the touching. which, sure, shy virgin. i'll let it slide. hands still above the waist. boxers still on-

afterglow cuddles.

...

that's literally it.

bearing in mind we have seen boston bouncing on this guy's dick.

bearing in mind this is pratically the premise of the show. this is the set up from the very first episode. this is what mew and top have been building up to ever since they met.

and that's it.

anticlimatic.

which... huh, maybe that's the whole point.

this was supposed to be anticlimatic for us because it was for them. because they had both been building up and building up to this and maybe it didn't quite live up to the ideals they both had in their heads.

or maybe its anticlimatic because there's no real feeling. all the other pairings have given us emotions. even if it's one sided pining. even if there's no romantic feels yet, you can feel the potential. you can feel the desire. mew and top's scene was the least passionate of any of the sex scenes. and you could write it off as being sweet and romantic rather than horny. but i don't buy that. i don't feel that.

maybe this is how it always is for top. maybe this was exactly what mew was expecting because he seemed pretty content afterwards, with his i love you and that saccharine smile of his. maybe he doesn't know any better. maybe neither of them do.

but when juxtaposed with the sand and ray scene that follows straight afterwards... those two just have to look at each other and you know they want each other. they kiss and they're both grabbing for each other. sand moves his whole body to be closer. and they're both still fully dressed but i'll be damned if there isn't more feeling packed into that one kiss than into the whole of top and mew's scene.

i just find it interesting that something that was so pivotal to the story. to the characters. was so utterly bland.

and i think it's a very important message to be honest - you can't force romance. you can play by the whole book, follow all the right steps, say all the right lines... but you can't put feelings in where there are none. you can't make passion and love from a prewritten recipe. life is messy. and love is messy. and sex is messy. and trying to keep it neat and ordered and clean, like mew does, just doesn't work.

#ofts #only friends #only friends the series #top x mew #topmew #anyway maybe my reading of this is totally wrong #but i just found it really interesting #almost all of topmew scenes feels somehow disconnected from the rest of the show #they're all quieter #with different lighting #this squeaky clean image #that just isn't reflective of real life #but how mew wants his life to be #mew is often framed as the main character of the series #but honestly he's the person we know the LEAST #everyone else has flaws #and that makes them human #makes them relatable #helps us understand where they're coming from #mew has nothing #he's shiny and perfect and nothing beyond that #so he's impossible for us (or me at least) to trust #because the others aren't hiding anything from us #mew IS #only friends thoughts

On the DSMP seasons debate thingy recently.

Um yeah, DSMP fans have been using the season distinctions for years. It may be irrelevant to the CCs but well the fandom exists beyond the CCs.

It’s convenient for fans discussing the SMP. That’s why they exist.

Fandom spaces don’t need to be aligned with what the content creators believe when it comes to fandom terminology. Similarly we don’t ask the CCs for duo names, fans come to agree about them amongst themselves.

Fans don’t want to rewrite the wiki and tvtropes pages and other old posts to fit this new model. That’s not disrespectful to the CCs, the CCs opinions are valued but they’re in charge of the content, not the fandom which is it’s own entity.

#fandom terms are the fans business #it’s annoying that there’s a disconnect #but the CCs are shaking things up here by taking what already has a clear definition in the fandom ie S2 #and making it mean something else #fans would’ve have been cool with season 5 or vol 2 or even series 2 and they suggested this #it’s not a big deal but it is annoying #but the point here is that fans don’t have to swap over if they prefer the old way #dream SMP #meta #discourse

Face # 1: Lethargy at the museum

This year (2024) I’ll be trying to draw faces, all year long. By the end of the year, I’d like to be able to capture some truly emotive expressions on faces. I was never good at drawing any portion of the human physique, but some practice will get me closer. Sorry if these start off rough or scratchy, this is merely my first try. Just trying to improve my line work and technique in regard to sketching.

I’ve never been good with names, but faces I remember upon the first time seeing one. I was at The Mint Museum in Charlotte recently. I was alone, checking out art and this group of four girls in their mid-twenties walked into a sculpture room where I was browsing a few pieces. Among these girls was a hipster looking chick. Spikey hair, feminine in kind of a punk way, had big eyes and very plain attire. What separated her from her friends was that… she looked so utterly bored to be at the museum. She was just kind of listlessly walking around, looking kind of sad or detached, taking pictures with her cell phone instead of absorbing or contemplating the beauty of the art on display. After she came near me a few times, I started to memorize her face and the way she looked as she lethargically sauntered around the hall. I kept thinking that I wanted to capture the disconnected look on her face, so I drew it! More to come.

idk I think I would be more interested in tes lore if any of the unique stuff was actually incorporated in the games in any way

#buzz #i know some people like reading the books #and i think they CAN be a very useful worldbuilding tool for expanding upon things that are presented in the story or displaying the #...world views of people within it #like in real life #but if you wanna talk about how interesting and weird the elder scrolls is and your only source is a series of obscure books that are not #...reflected by in-game content in any way its not real to me sorry #bc like they do this exclusively and for EVERYTHING #yeah the nature of ‘deep lore’ is that it’s not immediately visible but if all of the interesting things are ‘deep lore’ then it’s just #…a pussy move i think #they get credit for writing this cool and subversive lore that is then either ignored or directly in conflict with the game design #and often someone will bring up ‘deep lore’ that’s really either just some developer’s headcanon or a probable metaphor #and take it as gospel #tldr there’s such a huge disconnect between tes lore and the actual games that it holds no weight for me personally

Consequences Yet to Come

AN: G/N reader, reader has hair. This is pretty uh idk something I just kinda had in my head. Inspired by 'All for You' by Goodnight Nurse which I've been listening to in repeat.

Summary: After you disobey orders from your temporary Captain, Ghost is there to support you through your emotions afterwards.

Word count: 1310

Warnings: Angst but not like between you and Ghost

AO3 Masterlist Series Masterlist

A stream of light peaked through his curtains. It broke through the darkness and cut though your body, a stream that illuminated the corner of your face across your lips and check. The storm of emotions from the previous night seemed like a lost dream. Forgotten to the depths of time. So distant from the peaceful angel you had become. A calm look on your face, an image of perfection. Despite the blood that cracked on your hairline, trapped there despite your long and furious shower.

Eyes no longer puffy with anger, now soft kind. To touch your face, just a brush of his fingers almost seemed impossible. Simon wouldn't want to disrupt you. Never. To bring you back to the world of the waking would be too cruel. To subject you to the consequences yet to come, to the stress of your life. The hash realities that would no doubt cause that anger to rise once again.

Then again, there was something mesmerising about the pure fury on your face. A storm with no end, beautiful in its own way. Full of passion and care. The events played again in front of his eyes and he couldn't help but wonder what had caused your wraith. Never had he seen you like that, so uncomposed

Blood had soaked your usually blue gloves. A thick layer that stained your chest. Soap had seen you out of the corner of his eye, happy to greet you back from your mission. Yet all the man received was a grunt and a hard shove from your shoulder when you pushed past him. Left dazed and confused, Simon could see the hurt on Soap's face but Johnny knew better. When a mission went wrong, there was nothing that could be said to make it better.

Simon could remember the way Johnny's eyes drifted towards him. A strong eye contact that said a million words. Your door had slammed behind you, one Ghost would slip into. The image of you then, a completely different story. Distress written on your face, breath heavy as you gasped with anger. You hadn't even registered that he was there. Your thoughts too obviously somewhere else when you wiped your hand from the bottom of your face up over your cheek and through your hair in one jagged movement.

A red mark had stained your perfect skin. Simon wanted to ask what happened, ask what had you in such a state but stopped when he saw those bloodshot eyes. If you wanted to tell him, you would. Mask removed, he approached you. At the end of your bed your head hung low staring at the ground. He'd crouched in front of you and ripped away his gloves. A whisper of your name had you look up to meet his concerned eyes.

"I-I-I" Your voice stuttered and you blinked out, almost snapped out of your thoughts by his presence alone. A rock down to reality. That wave of pure anger calmed down to a gentle tide. "I disobeyed orders." Your eyes were firm on his, there was no regret in those words.

"Why?"

"They were bad orders." You truly believed that with all your heart. He could read it so obviously. Right away Simon knew there would be consequences to your actions, disciplinary action or dismissal. Perhaps an investigation. It would be a matter for Price and Laswell to deal with, not him. Thankfully.

Simon could remember the pit that formed in his stomach, one that still did. He didn't want to lose you. He didn't want to see you dismissed. Not just because he was your partner but because you were one of the best he had the honour of serving with.

"Let's get you cleaned up." His voice had been a low whisper when he pulled down your bloodied hand. He saw the way your eyes had focused like you had just become aware of how stained you were.

To the bathroom he had taken you. You barely moved when he stripped you down. Just enough to make it easier for him. He didn't care that blood pressed against the tiled floor when he dumped your clothing there. His focus was completely on you when he prepared the shower. Warm, you always liked it warm. Ghost prefered cold showers but wouldn't complain when you turned up the heat. He never complained in the past and he wouldn't complain now.

A piece of him wanted to steal you away from this life. To give you the perfect stressless life you deserve. He didn't want to see that look on your face. A tired look, drained from your emotions. You had entered the shower without him coxing you. Directly under the water, the harsh pressure did everything in its power to wash away the dirt, sweat and blood. With a little bit of Simon's hands and some soap it soon succeeded.

"She was right there. We could see her." Your voice croaked out, eyes red and bloodshot. In the safety of the shower and his presence you had started to cry. Tears hidden by the water but he could still tell.

"He made that fucking call to blow it." Your voice reignited with a hiss and pushed back your soaking hair. "If he waited one minute. Just one more, she would have been fine." Simon stayed silent, you didn't need words right now. Just for him to listen.

"Then he had the nerve to order us to leave her. She had survived Simon." Your voice broke just as much as his heart did at the sound. "She survived the fucking blast and he wanted us to leave where for no good reason." Your turned to face him and latched onto the man, your arms around him.

Simon didn't care that he was still clothed, his rolled up sleeves were already wet. He returned the hug and stepped into the shower. Your face buried into his shower and your hand fist the cloth on his shoulder.

"I couldn't leave her. I-I I did what I could but I don't know if she will make it." You looked up to his eyes. "She was airlifted out to hospital."

"It's out of your hands now." His thumb stroked your cheek.

"I did the right thing." Your voice was so certain. There wasn't an ounce of doubt, it was undeniable truth. "Fuck the consequences, it's worth it if there's even a chance she will live." You swallowed and let out a deep breath. "I want to apologise but I can't. I would do it again in an instant."

"Don't apologise then. I trust your judgement."

Simon could remember so clearly that weight that had been lifted off your shoulders. To get it all out, to have his support. That look on your face when you had fallen asleep in his arms. Tired but okay. He hadn't minded cleaning the blood off the floor while you slept.

The way you slept so peacefully, he realised he would do anything for you at the moment. He had long since accepted that he would die for you but this? He would give up his life if you so asked. Simon would put in the towel, he would run away to the edge of the world if you had so asked. He also knew you never would. You would never abuse that so-called power over him. He knew that just like he knew that you wouldn't run from the consequences of your actions. He would be there every step of the way. No matter how dramatic the change in your lives would be.

For now though? Simon would let you rest. So he closed his eyes once again and wrapped you up in his arms ever tighter. For now he would join you once again in the world of dreams.

watching Percy and Annabeth have their big goodbye was somehow both crushing and hilariously adorable.

Like it's life and death to them but I KNOW logically Percy isn't gonna be gone anytime soon so it was kinda like watching playground kids act out Romeo and Juliet, like y'all are cute, but this dramatic, wrap it up, recess is ending.

It is so hard to enjoy funny Minecraft YouTubers and want to look at fanart when i have to sift through pages and pages of people drawing these real irl people kissing

#“It’s just characters” I GUESS??? #Eight eugh eugh #its not like a Huge deal but i just find the disconnect between the YouTuber and the “characters” people turn them into so strange. #esp in regards to like. The l//fe series that ive been watching #like this isn’t roleplay. Like you could sort of argue the d//mp characters ended up being over time. These r just. Guys. #Idk idk idk #text posts :0] #rant #?? In case.

I think part of why the Overlord feels so weird in the 11-minute era is because the 11-minute era is so unique, like it doesn'f follow anything with the "light and dark" shit that the Overlord embodies.

All of the 11-minute era feels so disconnected, that trying to wrap it up with some big conclusive finale doesn't FEEL right, it doesn't fit the vibes of the 11-minute era. All-encompassing darkness doesn't really work here compared to Wilfilm Ninjago...

#the disconnected nature of all the seasons makes the aspect of a full finale feel weird #like if u look at the 11 min era as their own series like lego does #it just DOESNT FIT #ninjago #raine's rambles

[benkenobee]

After seeing the finale last night, I did not like the Ahsoka series and from here on out, I’m going to pretend like it never existed.

#star wars #personal opinion #ahsoka series #spoilers #the writing was so fundamentally bad #like nothing made fucking sense and everything was being infodumped to the viewers #if there’s going to be a s2 i don’t even care #like i just want them to either give andor s2 #or give me like a sw series that is disconnected from the skywalkers completely #i need something new

#well i guess it doesnt matter since theres so many fangans ive never played but still #the idea of another game thats completely disconnected from v3 is SO EXCITING COME ON GUYSSSS #but also the game kodaka is working on is definitely not danganronpa and i doubt he wants to continue the series so WHATEVER #finn.txt

#nightheart #warrior cats #asc spoilers #wc spoilers #IMS ORRY MAYBE ITS JUST ME But the whole. changing your name and having others see it as being 'disrespectful to ur family' #juts sounds. so much like a trans metaphor #because like. ik when i wanted to change my name to micah when i used 2 be trans my mom wsas like #'thats so disrespectful how could u change ur name. i GAVE you that name. its disrespectful to ur family' #and i get that its supposed to be like oh nightheart changed his name from flameheart to be disconnected from firestar #and everyone hates that forrrrrr some reason. but. i see it as nothing but a not so subtle trans metaphor #maybe its just me but. who knows! #also especially the whole last 2 paragraphs. 'is there something wrong with me?' #and 'for a few short moments hed felt as though he'd done the right thing. he'd finally stood up for himself and asked for a name that #suited him.' ITS JUST !!!!!!!!!!!!! #god. nightheart transgender moment . if nightheart doesnt start going by she/her by the end of the series im gonna start a riot #SJLKKLJDLKJJKLG

He's got the look! Of LOVE

Seriously, re-watch is just noticing how much time Fraser spends staring uncomfortably in love, focused, at Ray, multiple editions. EXAMPLE : This is first episode right here! Fraser stare.

Or you know his doing sly smiles and reactions every five seconds too.

And I love it. Because it's hard to gif! And because it's Fraser.

He says nothing. What he doesn't say screams.

Fraser is a closed book type character. For all he shares stories with others about his values, or anecdotes or stories of his life, for all his acts and oddities, his kindness and helping, or his passive aggressive snits; he uses that and presentation and it's to put up walls to block us the audience and the other characters from seeing him fully with these things. He doesn't tell the whole truth. He manipulates so it's entirely on his terms and comfort level just what level of Fraser you get. He's scared to show people he has wants or needs or feelings for himself. Maybe I think a part of him doesn't know the how or what on those things too. When he tells others things, his personal stories, notice how often he leaves out the and this is how I felt or feel. He doesn't want that to be the focus for others. For others to see him unless he shows it.

So it's very important I think you have to look for not just what he says, but what he does and shows consistently to us or someone. And about that someone. That's the key to understanding how Fraser feels and expresses his wants.

Great thing about the show is when it understands Fraser may consciously not want to show himself but through his voyeurism and nature and we the audience, sorry Fraser you do.

Anyways...

So with Ray, he drags Ray into all kinds of things, without really honestly asking or saying the why. Because the honest answer half the time boils down to just I want you along and with and that's one you can't say without saying I want or need you. Fraser's very bad that.

They do the odd couple routine of you Canadian, me American. They, and Fraser is way more master, manipulate and operate in understanding one another is a case of really playing with or verbalizing out the differences, to get us on to continue along in sync while avoiding or letting slip well, duh, we are together because emotionally we feel easily connected, even with differences.

So Fraser shows Ray, or thinks he does best he can, by dragging and tagging along. Sticking close by choice.

He shows us the audience too.

He shows all the time by considering or studying Ray how much he's paying attention to, wanting to get to know. He shows by leaning in or reacting to, verbal or physically, or even to other's reactions of, how much Ray has an affect on him.

And to me one of the biggest ways Fraser is obvious in his feeling's with Ray, is Ray is just about the only one besides Dief and his ghost Dad, that he'll seek out or let him in enough to see him back.

Goes back to The Pilot. Of its' not like Fraser doesn't connect or have emotional scenes with others. But Ray is the one who gets the honesty back outta him. Who he can show he's emotionally down to and try an feel understood by. Like there, yeah I'm here in this diner because I'm lonely and my dads gone, this is my only way to connect or do for him now...

Fraser shows he wants Ray to see his feelings in a way he opens about the why of himself to no one else.

And it's a recurrent throughout the series, even as they have some blow-outs and screw-ups on it. He shows Ray because Fraser trusts enough to be sad around or silly, or snippy, or teasing. But also just unsure. There's a comfort level in their interactions. He wants Ray to know him as a person and relate emotionally and even when he himself struggles how to handle that within, well if Ray sees it, that's okay.

#due south #f/v #fraser/vecchio #meta #like i cant name anyone else in the series fraser got as close to being open with #him almost telling ray about victoria #sure it fucked up #way to not listen ray #but he wanted to #that is something #huge #fraser wants to be seen emotionally #my fav headcanon #and he seems always seeking ray to look and be seen #to relate #to contrast #being sad at #trusting #even in their blow-outs or disconnect moments #the upset is the it's so wrong #contrast to how fraser is forced to try to connect with others #frannie's feelings and how to relate or tell her #being seen as feeling with say welsh #coping or figuring it out with thatcher #ray k being the other buddy duo of not in a good headspace to share and back and forth to overshare they both give off
