#genuinely a thing of beauty

[astraltrickster]

I love how in just over a week a huge chunk of tumblr started from "ironically" reviving the pre-Dashcon era then just speedran mostly separating the good from the bad of that time and now we're out here just having harmless unapologetically silly fun in an upgraded form that we KNOW makes OTHER people cringe but so fucking what WE are having fun and that's all that matters! If you cringe at it that's on you, adapt or die mad about it!

#internet culture #could stand a little more diversity in our website gijinkas still but we're getting there!! #2012 tumblr without ship wars being used to sow exclusionist thought (or at least being widely mocked when people try)? #genuinely a thing of beauty

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

LET THE BOY HAVE AN EDUCATION

officially at the point where we're starting to see where it's all headed and I am just going NYEEHEEHEE in delight at it all. ahhh...next week can't come soon enough...

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #stage in playful land #stage in playfulland #leona: (devises an actually somewhat clever plan to take out the staff-puppets without breaking any rules) #leona: (taken out two seconds later because he sat down in the wrong place) #at this point i'm half expecting the ssr boys to actually bust in with a big sandwich platter or something #a cake with 'please don't kidnap people :)' written on it in shaky icing #kalim isn't good at plans but he DOES throw a good shindig and by god he's going to play to his strengths #also IT WASN'T SHINY TICKETS IT WAS GIDEL?! #MY BOY #MY BEAUTIFUL MAGICAL FELINE BOY #i mean i'm assuming at this point but that seems to be the implication #genuinely kind of shocked that they actually WERE being magicked into being extra gullible #it was ✨foreshadowing✨ all along... #the blot though! what about the blot! #is that going to be an issue or are we going to have enough to deal with already! #i have rocketed from 'i find these villains entertaining' to 'i am suddenly incredibly invested in them as characters' #LOOK there is one thing better than characters with sort of unhealthy codependent relationships #and that is characters with sort of unhealthy codependent relationships but TWIST IT'S NOT THE WAY YOU THINK #nyeeheeheeeeeee

just imagine rockstar! eddie releasing a new album, where one of the songs is called “a voice from above”. in it, he sings about a heavenly voice coming to him in the hardest, darkest hour of his life, when he was ready to give up and stopped seeing a future for himself, and calling him towards the light, coaxing the best out of him and pulling him up from the pit of despair eddie was slowly drowning in.

and it’s a rock ballad, so it differs quite a bit from cc’s usual style, is more “palatable” to the general public with it’s slower tempo, gentler melody and hauntingly beautiful vocals, with addition of a choir in the climax. and because of that, christians start claiming it (basically what happened with “take me to church”), newspapers and magazines wonder at eddie munson, the man a large part of whose aesthetic was so often referred to as “satanic” by the general public, with seemingly no denial from cc, who seemingly has finally found his way to religion.

and when cc comes to their next interview, the question of whether the great non-conformist eddie munson, who on multiple occasions dragged the christian church through the mud with accusations of hypocrisy and fostering bigotry in its midst in his songs and public speeches, has finally found god, inevitably comes up. the moment cc hear it they burst out laughing. after a while, eddie finally responds.

“this song is full of religious motifs, but not nearly for the same reasons you guys seem to think it is. it’s just that the experience the song is dedicated to was the closest i think i ever came to understanding what makes people come to real, genuine faith, the one that fills you with clarity, love and acceptance for the world around you, makes you feel like a part of something so much larger and greater than a mortal human being can possibly comprehend or reach on their own. that experience being the voice of the man that i came to love reaching me while i was in coma and reminding me of all the reasons life was worth fighting for, and then keeping inspiring me to be the best version of myself throughout my whole life.

and that, folks, is how being incredibly gay can save your life! i also don’t mind christians blasting “a voice from above” on their little church parties: my husband, after all, is definitely an angel on earth and absolutely deserves to be worshipped. but don’t you worry, i’m handling that pretty well on my own” and he winks at the camera.

and that’s how the world finds out that eddie munson is married.

#because i genuinely think that eddie would channel a lot of his religious trauma in his music #while also having an example of healthy faith from wayne #or wayne doesn’t even have to be religious #as a person who hates religious institutions while still thinking that the world’s religions can be incredible and inspiring #i’m bestowing my worldviews on poor unsuspecting eddie #steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #rockstar eddie munson #get steve harrington to be loved and appreciated agenda #steve cried when he watched this interview for the first time btw #will rockstar! eddie au ever release me from it’s clutches? it remains to be seen #steddie hcs #steddie headcanon #eddie munson hcs #what god? the only thing i worship is my husband’s ginormous beautiful ti- #- eddie munson at some point #yes that parallel with take me to church is there for a reason

hey btw. being platonically in love is so real btw. having a silly text convo with your friend and thinking "I love you" with every message. studying together in silence and feeling the most comfortable you've been in years. having a huge cheesy grin on your face after you spend time together, or even just text for a bit. your worries becoming a little easier to bear when they hug you. worrying about them, wishing you could magically give them all the happiness in the world.

being platonically in love is one of my favourite feelings in the world, and you know what? I'm so grateful that being aspec let me experience this in full. I fucking love being on the aromantic spectrum <3

#i just. man. i love my friends so much its almost overwhelming sometimes #platonic love is amazing; being platonically *in* love? a whole new level #not a romantic feeling in sight and i am SO happy about that. genuinely. #being queer is a beautiful thing :) #aromantic #aro #aspec #arospec #platonic love

The soggier a Bingge is, the better. Bingges looking "cool" is actually a sign of distress. A happy, healthy, and properly resocialized Bingge must be a a pathetic creature with mop-like quantities of water dripping from his fur.

#I love all Binghes ofc but badass suave competent emperor bingge IS THE MASK. #I think sv proves that to be really happy LBG has to abandon those notions and allow himself to openly and ardently crave affection #and the thing about loving and wanting love that badly is its a little cringe! a little pathetic! and that's so normal and beautiful! #Binghe deserves to be lame in all these wonderfully human ways #Because genuine and humble human connection will always make him happier than his empire his sword and his wives #svsss #luo binghe #luo bingge #original luo binghe

one of my things with love is that i think it's probably like colors. yeah we have a thing that we all sort of agree is red. but we have no way to know if other people see red the same way as us. your red could be totally different from mine and we would never know because it has functionally the same relation to all of us and so we all just call it red. i have no way of knowing if anyone else on earth feels love the exact same way in which i do and in fact i think most people probably don't...

#this is about aromanticism btw #yeah i use love in a conventional way sometimes (telling friends i love them. all that) #genuinely though i do think that i feel love in a different way from everyone else #which is. alienating. #but also. intimate. is the word i want to use i think. #i have this thing that is just for myself. i am so aware of the way that i feel these emotions and they are just for me to understand. #special and beautiful and all that. aromanticism to me #valentine notes #aromantic #aromanticism

not gonna go in depth on my feelings about the finale right now... i'm just so happy for cabby!! :)

#dandy's doodles #inanimate insanity #ii #ii cabby #battle for dream island #bfdi #bfdi flower #ii spoilers #girls who have character arcs and win <3 love them #i think i'll only be able to truly appreciate the finale when i'm able to comprehend the antagonists' motives. like what are they doing #it could be the most beautiful finale ever for all i know but i genuinely do not understand a good 70% of the conflict here #(it probably isn't a good thing when you have to rewatch the whole season to understand a huge plot point in the finale... #...or maybe i'm just dumb and didn't pick up on something obvious :P) #hello clover is the 'green goddess'??? hello

Nancy advancing on Vecna while she repeatedly shoots him with the sawed off shotgun is a scene that will forever plague my mind. The way her eyes look almost dead, the way predatory animals do when they hunt. The way her face initially scrunches because of the guns kickback but it quickly morphs into that horrendous fury.

Look at her. She's beautiful.

#stranger things #nancy wheeler #nothing more beautiful than women in media being allowed to be ugly in moments of rage #genuinely

they’ve gotten so much more comfortable around each other in the radio show art over the years, and it feels like the most natural thing in the world 🥺

#I just woke up but UHM this is genuinely a really beautiful thing to see first thing in the morningjhhnggg #especially after last night 😖 #bkdk #dkbk #bakudeku #dekubaku #:’)

Say something true!

#critical role #ygifs #imogearne #imogen x fearne #when you’re taking a picture of the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen and the camera falls back and fucking decks you in the face #fearne going it’s ok you don’t need to confess I know~~ while imogen interrupts to say ‘’you’re a loser’’ they drive me NUTSkljsgdlkjs #also my brain is a little beehive cos these two Started with Fearne being the enabler to darker things while imogen was cautious #to fearne Seeing imogen about to be lost to ruidus and hardveering into panic that the power would never be worth losing her #to imogen hearing fearne hesitate and deny the shard and then telling fearne she should do it anyway #the way these two handle the other's Sways in darkness in such a Knowing way - ‘’Are you sure it wasn’t intentional?’’ #there’s like this ping and before it was encouraging and now fearne is scared and imogen is enabling the risk #and it’s like either imogen is silently ensuring laudna’s safety by fearne taking the shard despite any risk #or imogen honestly believes that fearne is stronger even than the power she would embrace. There is no risk. Fearne will conquer this. #so it’s like is it ulterior motives or is it faith or is it hypocrisy or is it all three at once it's so good #imogen spending her entire life running from her power so isn’t it so much easier to tell fearne she can just do it while imogen couldn’t #or is it just her genuinely encouraging fearne from Knowing the aftermath of pursuing the power #but it's like imogen ...... why would fearne choose you over the possibility for power when she's never done that before #and is this insistence/encouragement going to actually reassure fearne or is it going to be another crack #and when they do the ritual fearne asks imogen to be the one to take her out and imogen tries to comfort her by agreeing #and fearne looks on sadly and nods #remembering when she was asked to be the one to take imogen out and all fearne knew was that she couldn’t #anyway imogen's face when fearne said you're in love with me imogen said NOT NOWDSHKJF

the stars are pretty but, I’d personally be watching him instead

#IM SO NORMAL ABOUT HIM #like what did oda put in him #did he take all the beautiful things in the world and crafted those into Sanji? #not only does sanji feel love raw #but he expresses it in such a genuine and heartwarming way #watch the stars with me he says OH MY FU- #ID DO ANYTHING FOR YOU #one piece #sanji #one piece sanji #op sanji #one piece manga

there's something so beautiful about rain world's art style that i can't properly put into words

#ignore the v1 mod haha #same with saints little shirt #REGARDLESS. ahhh. i understand why rain world is so loved #this game made me feel So much because of everything #the art?? the way they present things?? the Music. oh my g #i cant really go into depth without going on a long spiel about presentation within games but know rain world is very very good. it is hard #-but it is worth the struggle to experience something so genuinely beautiful #i wanted to include the echo in the undergrowth here but none of the screenshots i got were very nice looking or fit well with the rest #but i still wanted to mention it because it is so important to me #'this moment right here! it is where we are meant to be.' you are so right brother...... #ive got a lot on my plate and as much as i want to draw for rain world the most i can manage is silly stuff. consider this a stand in for- #-seriousness

Yk what blows my mind is when i’m reading something amazing right, i am so immersed in the story the writing is beautiful it’s making me feel more emotions than i’ve ever felt in all my years of living and then the end notes are just like. “uhhh hope u enjoyed ig? haha” or “idek what this is lol” like sir ma’am my guy your writing is the most gorgeous thing i have ever read. i cried and i laughed and i screamed and i did that thing where you roll around in bed and giggle like a child at 3am. if it was the zombie apocalypse and i could only take one story with me as i fought to survive it would be yours. “what even is this lmao” a masterpiece. a fucking masterpiece is what it is

#kissing writers on the mouth mwah mwah #i guarantee you the things you write will make at least one person so genuinely happy #u don’t understand that 20k friends to lovers fic u wrote filmed me with JOY with HAPPINESS i felt free #the angst fic made me ugly cry and it was the most beautiful kind of pain because your writing was so powerful that for a moment it was rea #i had a shit day and your self indulgent little throwaway fluffy oneshot made me smile and i felt a little better about the world #writers i FUCKING LOVE YOU #i LOVE YOU and i LOVE WHAT YOU CREATE #ao3 #fanfic #fanfic things #fandom things #fanfic writer appreciation #writeblr #writers #writing #fanfiction #writers on tumblr
