#he loves holly so much

[sweetvillainjude]

actually wild of holly black to write cardan’s arc so powerfully that I went from genuinely hating him and never believing I’d like him to thinking “ok so maybe he’s not awful ALL the time” to desperately rooting for him and furiously wanting him to be loved and happy over the span of three books. like tfota was WILD for doing that (and doing it so well)

#tfota #the cruel prince #cardan greenbriar #holly black #the wicked king #the queen of nothing #the cruel prince spoilers #no bec i’m not the most forgiving person and i was thinking uh oh in the first book bec i seriously DID NOT like him at all #i thought he was awful #and then by the wicked king i was like…..oh???? So he’s actually…..i actually….like him? he might be good in his cardan way? #and then by the end of qon i was just enamored #like that’s my man cardan and he deserves nothing but love and happiness #and he loves jude soooo much and she loves him and they’re everything. #tfota was just insane for that.

two of the anarch stcs from my nola by night chronicle: bellamy hollis (gator gangrel) and chess giovanni (hecata).

bellamy hosts a radio show designed to run interference for kindred and kinfolk who find themselves on the SI's radar. chess is a freelance necromancer who specializes in predicting people's deaths for them. these two are best friends, roommates, and unlife-long instigators.

#thank youuuuu for doing such a beautiful job theyre perfect i love them so much <3 #bellamy is he/they and chess is she/they #bellamy hollis #chess giovanni #vtm #nola by night

“The next time you want to make a point,” Jude says, “I beg you not to make it so dramatically.”

His shoulder hurts, and she may be right about the iron poisoning. He certainly feels as though his head is swimming. But he smiles up at the trees, the looping electrical lines, the streaks of clouds.

“So long as you’re begging,” he says.

Man, Simon. That seasonal depression must suck for you. That’s rough buddy. No more Holly Jolly Secrets for you.

#simon petrikov #fionna and cake #I’m having a time #very ready for the next episode tomorrow #I love him he’s so great #also not that holly jolly secrets was a good time the first time #but now he has to be aware of the winter #and what that comes with #and that’s whole new perspective and I feel like seeing Simon in a holiday setting right? #I’d like it to be nice #but it would just have this undertone now wouldn’t it? #especially since #idk how much awareness he did have #that’s when Finn and Jake found out about him? and he became… known again? #other than by Marcy anyway. #but now winter is another reminder to everyone and himself #that he’s not that anymore #yeah. #thoughts.

I love when Holly confronts Artemis about the (lack of) value he places on the lives and agency of others, as Butler will be simultaneously chilling offscreen somewhere, having definitely killed before in his career.

#Butler is my baby princess. I love you little fucked up man <3 #Holly will look at Butler with affection and think 'my fellow soldier :)' meanwhile that role entailed possible war crimes on Butler's end #domovoi butler #artemis fowl #and I think what also makes this so striking is that Butler has a much stronger sense of how to be kind and compassionate than Artemis #inherently does -- but when it comes to the big moral lines in the sand it is honestly Artemis who much more intensely feels them #and of course this is all complicated by when Butler starts to develop a more personal relationship with someone -- such as how at the end #of AF he tells Artemis that he doesn't want to become entangled with the People again (largely due to Holly saving his life and Juliet's)

Entirely sharing this for the crop top.

But I’m also totally trying this.

Red dwarf tarot card - The Emperor

Featuring April fool Holly (I know it's not April but I could hardly wait eight months with a red hot jape like that under me belt)

Next card is The Hierophant and I'm sorta torn (currently choosing between the cat priest with a funny hat from 'Waiting for God', and captain Hollister in a chicken costume)

#red dwarf #tarot #holly #the emperor #i love holly so much he's so smegging funny #i just need to know where he got those glasses from like #good sir you're a COMPUTER where and HOW did you find those

I love how many episodes of Voltron are just Shiro discovering new flavors and varieties of “worst day of his life this week”

#I love him so much tho #watching the s1 finale and like > Allura threw him into the escape pod and got captured bc of him > coran blames him (then apologizes) > he #blames himself > gets in psychic battle with zarkon > loses > black lion kicks him out > jet pack breaks > has to fight through ship > #doesn’t have a bayard bc zarkon does > etc etc etc #>fights Haggar and hallucinations of HIMSELF >clawed #and there are sooooo many episodes where he is having The Worst Time objectively (i love watching it tho) #Holly v*ltron tag

it’s the way Ryan Gosling plays Ken’s feelings for Barbie for me. because the feelings are unreal and fake in the way of a doll but they’re also intensely real in the way of his actual personality/who he actually is.

#it’s the way he looks at her sometimes when she isn’t looking at him #and it’s just full of intense longing and vulnerability #so it’s that combination that I love SO much #which is over-the-top cartoonish-ness that’s full of PERSONALITY and excess and conviction #and then this core of -well I already said it but INTENSE vulnerability #it’s Michael Scott in love with Holly. It’s Schmidt in love with Cece #and the way Ryan plays it is even more so because he’s a doll and of course in a real way his love for her is not a real thing #BUT IN AN EVEN REALER WAY—— #To paraphrase Michael Scott (!!!!!) #it’s the realest thing anyone in Barbieland has ever known (to paraphrase Taylor)! #like he’s the only one trying to do anything real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #and so for me my Barbie takes are all secondhand #because the story they’re telling has some narrative cracks and weaknesses in it #but also I kind of don’t care because they’re not focusing on the story that is the most interesting to me personally #which is this hilarious icon of a cartoon man who is—somewhere in the depths of his little plastic Ken heart—really in love #and I know it seems like I’m just repeating and twisting what the movie DOES say. that he’s in love but it’s fake and he has to get over it #to be his own person #but that’s only the one layer for me!!!!!! #and it’s a true one. I actually love his existential crisis and the moment where he’s forced to be his own person (doll) #and that’s the best thing Barbie could do for him in that moment #but it only addresses part of the situation —the part of his feelings that are fake. it doesn’t actually see or do anything #with the real love that’s also somehow by the magic of personality there #And it pretends it isn’t. BUT IT IS ALSKKSKSJEJJE #like I’m SORRY but he is just an absolute magnet for her and he’s so deeply responsive to her presence underneath all of the exaggeration #it’s in his eyes it’s in his voice!!!!! like. Sorry I know love when I see it akskksksksksjsj #and yeah that love is very decidedly not in her character and at this stage that made sense for it not to be #because of her journey to humanity etc. but I wanted them to do something with that real love in Ken and they don’t even see it #which is OKAY because tbh I’m mostly just delighted that it’s THERE #but yeah. That’s the most interesting part of the movie to me #how could it not be

Where do you shop for your clothes? Are there any particular brands you look out for?

OH SO- this is kinda gonna be a frustrating answer.

i shop almost exclusively at this re-sale/second chance/excess store that puts together the unsold clothing from places like free-people and anthropology and the indy brands that they carry. It's INCREDIBLY local to my stretch of the woods- it's called retail 101 in naugatuck connecticut. i got a 350$ dress new with tags for 30$ and that was the most expensive clothing item listed in the store. it's definitely worthwhile to make the drive. it's about an hour for me, at least two if you're in nyc.

shopping there helps me feel better about getting clothes- because they're generally a lot bit better quality than like h and m or primark (which is what i can reasonably afford). it's also not directly supporting like- all those big businesses and keeps unsold clothes out of the landfill ect. It's helped me get some very very nice clothing for very cheap. it's a very overstimulating experience because it's basically just a football field sized warehouse filled with clothing.

i greatly recommend it if you're overly small or overly large because their greatest selection is in the Xs and Xl range like- I think i saw a size 14 jeans that were originally 400$ on sale for 14$ so- if you're more middle sized it definitely requires some hunting.

but tbh i also hit up the target clearance section for most of my jeans because they have really reasonable sales. i got my favorite pair of ripped jeans there for 6.50$. Target just for some reason happens to fit me pretty reliably- which is honestly rare because i have a 28 inch waist but a 40 inch booty.

#i love clothes and shopping because when i was a kid i never got new or nice things. #like we were a one new pair of shoes a year household #and i got like maybe 4 outfits at a time because that was all we could afford #and even then they were holey and didn't fit me right. #I give myself a budget cuz i know i spend too much on clothing generally #but it's very healing for me to express myself that way #because when i was growing up and until i was in college really- expressing myself that way wasn't really an option. #not to mention the other aspect of my life and needing to be able to run in whatever i was wearing #this is not new holly lore but old holly lore but yeah #being stalked really does do a number on you #its funny because as a result i sort of hate sneakers now like #this is just a me issue but i had to wear sneakers for safety every day #littterally every day #just incase my stalker was following me wherever i was and i needed to run #he hasn't chased me like that since like- the first week of the pandemic so <3 #healing is still happening and i don't wear sneakers anymore #wouldn't be caught dead in em' #not that i haven't tried to get back into liking them and wearing them because some of them are comfortable

ok but consider: Holly knew Will pretty much her whole life, he visits the Wheelers so often that he sometimes ends up helping Mike babysit her. and well little Holly loves him of course! he's always so kind and gentle and she loves and admires his art and so he always helps her to get better and he always compliments no matter what she draws and she just loves him so much!

so much that little Holly starts talking about how she's gonna marry him when she grows up.

and Mike ..well he's Mike ...so of course he's jealous. he knows it's stupid but also hey if Will is going to marry any Wheeler it's going to be him you little shit-

#this can be both pre-relationship and established byler #anyways it is a funny thought #will is so embarassed when she starts with it and when he finds out about Mike's jealousy he laughs at him and calls him an idiot #but then he gives him so many kisses until mike turns all red because he keeps pouting and whining #and god will just loves this dumbass so much #Mike: holly is my favorite sister i love her #Holly: i'm gonna marry Will when i grow up! #Mike: i want her gone- #alernative: when Holly gets older and understands more about this whole situation she realises how jealous it makes Mike #so she says it even more and becomes even more unbearable because she's Mike's and Nancy's sister so of course she can be a little shit too #mike wheeler #will byers #holly wheeler #byler #the wheeler siblings #i've been having a holly and her cool big bro mike brainrot these past few days #i need more of them

I need to figure out how to care less about my job. I can’t keep crying over kids that aren’t mine, I can’t keep doing this

#captain’s own #dumb bitch hours #personal logs #long story short my boss moved up two of my kids even though they were not ready #and I spent all last week miserable trying to figure out if I could convince her to put them back with us #but I think really I just need to give up and move on #they’re not doing too badly they just seem a little sad and off #and that’s only when I see them so they might just miss me #but it’s like #it fucking sucks dude #I love these kids so much #and Holly (my boss) doesn’t understand she doesn’t know them #she doesn’t know I pushed off my break so I could tell Reagan stories to put her to sleep for nap #she doesn’t know how much time I’ve spent holding Wyatt when he’s been sick #I spent a year and a half with those kids between three of their classes and Holly didn’t even think to talk to me about it #okay I just need to get this off my chest

[frosty-the-killer-doll]

it's ironic how one of my fav horrors is a movie with a whole philosophy on love that i joy in dissecting and then i scroll pass webweaves on blah blah blah the inevitability of love or whatever. love only wins when it's horrifying and between the worst people ever sorry not sorry 🙄

#pet 2016 #pet posting #maybe im just too aromantic to be entertained by normie sappy love. im not saying qprs are basically horrors movies but. #to aphobic allos they sure seem to be! #i just love the way pet redefines the conventional definition of love as sacrificial. bloody. sickening. slavery. as a cage for holly's urg #they dont even have sex. do you understand? they dont even kiss in the movie. seth rejects fingerfucking her #and holly instead tells him to prove her love for her by cutting off his fucking fingie #and that's how he proves it to her. violence. sacrifice. destroying himself for her. #and she's able to rebuild herself from his rubble and he wants her to #their love is literally god #i love them so much
