was just thinking about how amazing it is that weird wonderful world and ghost files exist at the same time from the same company. you have the same minds, the same hosts, the same team and yet the shows are like day and night. www reminds us of the wonder and whimsy and joy all around us while ghost files showcases the world's darker side in its tragedies and horrors. and that they're able to execute both shows each with its own finely-tuned aesthetic and its own little universe is really a beautiful display of how much Talent and Love exists at watcher and it's so so special.

love how in orv you have these voyeuristic gods that livestream people dying for profit and then you read the webtoon and they literally look like they’re about to start playing hopes and dreams and his theme at max volume
honestly my favorite thing ever, their appearances are so misleading, i think id fucking die in the apocalypse not because someone would kill me but because as soon as i saw one of these guys leading the scenario the higher functions in my brain would shut off and id try to pet them because LOOK AT THEM ?
if embodiment of surveillance state and late stage capitalism then why friend shaped????????

knuckles handing the master emerald to tails touches me so much because despite tails not being intertwined with m.e. legend like sonic and knuckles are, he’s still proven himself worthy to guard it alongside them (and him prompting the power bump is the cherry on top)
knuckles was so ready to include tails in his life as soon as he realized robotnik was manipulating and using him. he saw this kid and knew he'd be up for the task of guarding the master emerald, because he knows traversing the universe is no easy task and yet tails did so flawlessly.

it's so significant that they meet when one of them is slowly dying
Stede uses his ostentatious wardrobe as a defense mechanism, he buries himself under layers of lace and bright colours, uses it to dazzle and distract, to appear confident and invulnerable. If you are hurt, over and over, there are two ways to deal with it: become invisible, try to blend in to make them forget you're even there. Or do the exact opposite, become extremely visible, become so flashy it's off-putting. Don't eat me I'm poisonous, the language of bullied kids everywhere. Confidence is practice, so practice.
It's a shield for him to hide behind. He is clamped up and closed-off, he is very guarded around others, around himself. He doesn't share his feelings and he keeps his physical body wrapped up and out of view - even in his nightclothes he's dressed in layers. He never willingly shows more than his face and hands (except once, right at the end). Hide yourself for long enough, and you believe it is imperative. There's something rotten at his core that he must take great care to conceal from the world; there is something wrong about his body that no one may ever see.
Ed though. Ed sees him like no one else has before. Sees him bared and more vulnerable than he has ever been, physically, emotionally. Sees him delirious with fever, speaking without any control over what he says, sees him unclothed and unguarded.
Nobody was ever suppose to see Stede like that. And had he had any say in that, this isn't how he would have met Ed the Pirate, and certainly not how he would have presented himself to Blackbeard.
He doesn't get any say in it this time, though. He's forced to let his guard down, something he can only do when he's unconscious; he's too terrified of the horrible, repulsive truth that will surely jump out at the first opportunity.
And then - nothing happens. Because here's the truth: There's nothing wrong with him. There's no great, terrible secret for Ed to uncover.
He's just a guy.
