#i really love it!

[cosmos-coma]

could you write something for Shani, she is my favorite of the lesser-known female characters and no one has written anything for her (at least with x reader, x oc or headcanons)

Absolutely! I’d be happy to write some shani pieces in the future, but since I don’t feel super confident on her characterization right now so I hope you’re okay with headcannons!

Loving Shani

- First and and foremost, Shani is a stubborn woman. She has to be! And being a field medic for a bunch of equally stubborn soldiers definitly made it take its hold.

- but you you adore it. You love the way her nose begins to scrunch when she’s really adamant about something and the little frown she tries to pull when you playfully push back against her.

- One of your favorite ways to spend time with her is just in quiet moments. Shani does so much all the time and the moments that you can convince her to live quietly you like to savor

- The quiet days in where soft morning light filters through your curtains. Your head lays on Shani’s leg, eyes closed as she reads to you from the medical book she’s reviewing. You don’t really understand anything that she’s saying, but you do enjoy her commentary as she reads through various entries.

- “ ‘use a mixture of pringrape and wormwood for infected wounds’ well that’s just stupid. You can clean it out with water and use just spruce pitch in the same way. Plus it’s less work…”

- “Hmm, really? Why is that?” You ask, just to hear her talk more and happily she obliges you.

- her hand runs idly through your hair between passionate rants and murmurs of voices from the market outside barely permeate through the cracked open window.

-everything is perfect

#also I’ll make this look nicer later #okay now I’m absolutely writing this scene for shani #I might even do it on a quiet morning this weekend! #I really love it! #shani #headcannons #the Witcher self inserts #shani x reader #Shani x you #shani x y/n #witcher self insert

follow-up on the Noel rumors

putting this under a cut bc i’m sure most of y’all don’t care but i did say i was going to do more digging into the rumors that Noel dated Pixie Geldof when she was 16 and i’ve found enough that i think it’s worth sharing? i’d say it’s all in Noel’s favor.

there are several quotes floating around of Noel denying this, but a couple seem to be missing context, so i wanted to share an excerpt from this article (can’t find the original source so you’ll have to scroll down a bit to find it) that i think gives the most complete version of his side of the story (from what i’ve gathered):

In tabloid world, Fielding is the new R*ssell Br*nd, more rock 'n' roll than most real rock stars; often photographed, or 'spotted', on the arm of this or that rock chick (Courtney Love, Kimberly Stewart, Pixie and Peaches Geldof). His life has been turned upside down. 

'These last two years have been the best of my life and also the worst. It's a nightmare at times. It's like, getting chatted up 1,000 times a year. Just weird. You know when a girl fancies you, or when you've got a chance with a girl, and to have that from so many girls, for not doing anything specific, so regularly - it's a bit of a head-f***k. Nothing really prepares you for that. And you wouldn't believe how blatant they are! I was never that blatant when I was their age.'

He has a girlfriend, too - the vocalist in the band Robots in Disguise, who goes by the stage-name Dee Plume. They've been a couple for 'about four years' and live together in Kentish Town. 

Poor old Dee, then. 'Yeah. I'd hate it .You have to be very careful. I'm not whiter than white, and if you're going to go out and get drunk and party, and get offered all these things, you have to make sure the boundaries don't get blurred. You have to be careful that you don't stop working, or hurt the people you love. 

'Dee calls me The Little Prince because I get everything I want, and it's a joke, but there's an element of truth to it. It's like it's my birthday every single day. All these people saying, 'Do you want drugs? Do you want girls?, Do you want drink?' Then there are all these famous people, and you think: oh that's quite interesting, I wonder what they're like, and you hang out with them. You know, you just want to have a look. The problem is, once you get famous too, and if you're quite naive like me, you don't realise that if you hang out with someone, and you're a boy and they're a girl, that's it. That's enough.' 

One story had Fielding and Love trashing a hotel room 'like wild animals'. 'Amazing! She smoked a couple of cigarettes and we had a cup of peppermint tea. I mean, that's what happened. We had tea.'

important note: he also, in this same interview, uses the word ‘raped’ in a very cavalier way, which is gross and i’m not going to defend it. it was wrong then and it’s wrong now and i hope he’s stopped doing that. it also doesn’t mean he’s an actual sexual predator. not thinking enough about your word choice (especially at a time when tons of people would have no problem using the same word in the same way so you might have never even questioned it—i mean, he said it and it got published in an article that takes a very positive view of him, without comment from the writer; this was the culture at the time, it was very fucked up) is obviously not the same as committing physical assault.

now for pixie’s side. i still cannot find a specific denial, but when she released an album in 2016 (which is really good btw; i hope James has given it a listen) she did do some interviews where she gave sort of blanket-denials to everything the tabloids wrote about her when she was younger:

“When you’re trying to build who you are as a person and the Daily Mail are telling you you’re something else, it’s quite… odd. At a point it gets to you, when you realise you’re walking into adulthood being seen as a person who really doesn’t exist.”

How was she seen? “As a crazy party girl. This mad wild child. They made it sound like I was doing something wrong.”

and

“There was a vibe that the press got into their minds – something to do with the image of me and my sister, turning us into these wild children,” she says. “It’s hard to live a life when people are telling you what and who you are. I’m very lucky in that I don’t particularly care.”

finally, i found a few forum posts on a celebrity gossip site, so HUGE grain of salt with these, but the posters (looks like two separate people but one posted under a few different accounts because they accidentally revealed who they were) sound credible to me?

i also looked for things to confirm the rumor, btw, and i couldn’t find anything other than the tabloids and people repeating what the tabloids said.

and that’s all i’ve got for now. again, make of it what you will, i totally respect differences of opinion, etc. etc.

#gonna go listen to pixie’s album again #i really love it! #noel

The teasers from this album sound so fucking good!!!!!!

Devastating! Art museum gift shop doesn’t sell prints of specific and unpopular painting that struck a cord with you!

#Anyways :) I had a good day guess what popular painting I love that I saw and guess what I saw a new painting I really liked today :)

ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be

#not to mention ripping off and plagirazing real artists hard work of course #which is a whole other conversation #i cant feel the same love and adoration for whatever the slop machine produces #it will never be the same #im just really tired #anti ai #anti ai art

thought that one Alastor scene would look cool in comic lettering, so i drew this

Funny things I found out playing with language setting in Netflix while looking episode 15:

Chilchuck's scream sounds HAUNTED in brazilian portuguese. Give it a try if you can.

In spanish dub, Senshi says: "tocó mis senos de hombre", which means "he touched my man boobs" in Spanish. And I think that's the best dub line one so far.

#i love replaying certain scenes (usually screams) to see how they nailed it in other dubs #ive done it with Chilchuck & Mickbell screams because they're the funniest ones #give it a shot if you can #its really funny to hear certain character voices in other languages #for example. brazilian portuguesse gave both mickbell and chilchuck un-childlike voices (in japaneese both sound like little childs) #and they reused Chilchuck's japaneese screams for most of the other languages because he is so high-pitched and full of terror that it work #dungeon meshi #chilchuck #chilchuck tims #dunmeshi #delicious in dungeon #senshi #senshi of izganda #senshi dungeon meshi #idk how do you people screen record the episodes #if i knew how to i would put the shots here #my shit

Big fan of sun motifs in characters not necessarily being about positivity and happiness and how they're so " bright and warm" but instead being about fucking brutal they are.

Radiant. A FORCE of nature that will turn you to ash. That warmth that burns so hot it feels like ice. Piercing yellow and red and white. A character being a Sun because you cannot challenge a Sun without burning alive or taking everything down with them if victorious.

#this post is inspired by my dnd oc Beacon. whom i am workshopping again #gonna turn him into a really like....duty driven but fucking BRUTAL paladin. #The sun also being necessary for life....for structures of society and culture. like.... cmon #The sun is fucking terrifying and yall should recognize that more #ALSO THIS IS A SMALL LOVE LETTER TO HOLLOW KNIGHT'S THE RADIANCE #I LOVE YOU QUEEN!!!! YOU'RE SO SCARY!!!!!! #we need more of Her.

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?
