AN OLD SCRAP FROM THE WATERDEEP GAZETTE, DATED 22 YEARS AGO.

They city mourns the sudden passing of known philanthropist couple Karim and Lorna Charys, both victims of the mysterious fire that burned down the Southern Gate library yesterday. The guards are currently still investigating the true nature of this terrible accident, when asked if he suspected foul play, the captain refused to elaborate further. In the meantime the Blackstaff Academy sent over an emissary to extend their formal condolences to the now de-facto heiress of the Charys family, twenty-years old divination prodigy Amara Charys and her two younger siblings, Dhalia and Tarek. Young Lady Charys is set to inherit the Waterdeep estate together with her parents' large network of business partners and growing charity projects for families of wizards in need.

anyway, I did another little guy to go along with Najma and Che'nya! I...actually made him last year as a livestream project, so some of you might remember him (and that I eventually ragequit because it was 5 AM and the meshes were not cooperating). and, uh, then I forgot to actually go back and finish him, until Tamashina-Mina reminded me! ...sorry Cheka!

Pocahontas (1995): 3 times Pocahontas is compared to her mother + 1 time she's recognized on her own merits.

rambling lil meta under the cut

see, what's crazy about this whole situation is that it makes me wonder what exactly pocahontas's mom was like to have left such a massive impression on literally everyone in their community? there's that outright statement that "yeah, your mom's spirit is in the wind, basically, and our people venerate her as a spiritual guide (at the very least)." we know that she's the main connection between pocahontas and grandmother willow, and there's an implication in there that whatever leadership role she held in the village is expected to fall on pocahontas's shoulders someday.

i am so convinced that this role is some kind of spiritual leader/shaman position. wise-woman, priestess, whatever it's called. we don't see anyone else besides kekata performing any kind of spiritual rites, and even he isn't seen acting in direct contact with spiritual entities. kekata has to perform chants, provide offerings, and use a medium. pocahontas can just fuckign. talk to the things. how is she doing that? why isn't anyone else really able to do that? john smith could talk with grandmother willow but would he be able to if pocahontas wasn't there (i actually think he could but that's a different post)? has she ever done that for literally anybody else? nakoma never mentions grandmother willow. nobody mentions grandmother willow. apparently, the only two people who knew about her before pocahontas brought her new bf over was pocahontas and her mom.

i'm losing track of myself here, but the point is pocahontas is Highly aware of the ghost she's expected to live up to. and it sucks. and there's a lot more to her character arc about this but the eventual come-around to accepting that she has a responsibility to be more than herself and more than her mother's ghost is so heartbreaking because it also meant she had to let go of her soulmate at the same time so i c ry

#endeavour #itv endeavour #shaun evans #sara vickers #morse x joan #my gifs #muse #sara vickers is doing so much in this scene. #desperately hoping her fake little smile convinces him and slightly terrified for a multitude of reasons: on a personal level ofc #but also he's a cop and she's fully aware of how her dad would react. then his warm smile to reassure her. #generally he's oblivious but something about hearing people's deepest darkest secrets unlocks the most loving part of him. #insane that it's never brought up again how he might've got that information. #i wonder if joan would have moments later in life where she'd be going about her day reminiscing about old times #and suddenly have her mind blown like the end of planes trains & automobiles.

#David Tennant #Alec Hardy #Ellie Miller #Broadchurch #my gifs #Aww! Look at her TINY but FOND baby smile at his sass #He's growing on her #I love how she just... ACCEPTS him. Yeah she'll express disbelief at his weirdness #but it's always only the first time she comes across it #then she accepts it fully and simply works not just to ignore it #but ACTIVELY completes him. Remember the scene with Finley's last day? #He forgets Finley's name AGAIN in the same conversation? She nearly rolls her eyes but quietly reminds him of the name with no judgment #All he manages for a colleague leaving is well-done or good job #She makes sure to give him sass and go 'He'll be overjoyed' but she doesn't rail or mock him. #In S3 she simply tells him she thinks he should apologize to Brian #but that's it. She doesn't berate him or go on about it later #She tells him to make a cup of tea and holds his gaze and he goes and makes it and that's it. #Even when she goes 'Every time' later she still drops it at once as soon as he has sth else to talk to her about. #How much do you want to bet that she is one of the first ppl Alec Hardy has met who just... ACCEPT him? #Fully and without reservation? Just as he is? Aww those two. <3

Thinking about ‘The Long Game’ and how the Doctor says Adam is Rose’s boyfriend and she immediately says “not anymore”

And just the entirety of her on-off relationship with Mickey

I feel like there’s something to be said too about how it’s implied Jackie is always with a new man...but she always loved Pete

Idk where I’m going with this exactly but I feel like dating for Rose must have been a very casual thing she learned from Jackie, I really never even got the sense that she and Mickey were in a serious relationship (neither one of them treated it that way honestly)

Maybe it’s why it’s so impactful when she talks about how the Doctor isn’t her boyfriend because he’s more important than that

#doctor who #ninerose #tenrose #mickey smith #rose tyler #just saw that gif #with adam fainting #like rose and her pretty boys is such a fanon thing to include in fics #but at the same time i feel like she never really thought too much about being flirty with someone #and just not have it be a big deal #??? #idk like rose and mickey were both young #and i honestly don't think either one of them was too blame #*to blame #but at the same time they both shared the responsibility #b/c they could have just had a convo about it but again they were young #my rambling

Alicent Hightower and Tyland Lannister, the last two members of the Greens left alive after the death of King Aegon II.

Rhaenyra Targaryen's son took the throne as Aegon III Targaryen in 131 AC. [...]. She once terrified her granddaughter by suggesting she slit Aegon's throat. Since Alicent refused to be reconciled, Ser Tyland Lannister, the Hand of the King, ordered her confined to Maegor's Holdfast.

Alicent remained in her chambers for the last year of her life. Her only company was her septa, serving girls, and guards. [...] She died in 133 AC, during the outbreak of the Winter Fever. (x)

In early 133 AC, when it was discovered that Winter Fever had broken out across the city and the realm, Tyland ordered the gates of the city and the Red Keep closed, to prevent the disease from spreading. But as the Winter Fever was nearing its end, Tyland himself fell ill. He died after only two days, in the presence of Septon Eustace and King Aegon III, who took his hand as Tyland took his last breath.

Tyland is not remembered fondly, partly due to his physical appearance after being tortured and partly due to his actions during the Dance of the Dragons. Some blacks hated him for having urged King Aegon II Targaryen to put Aegon the Younger to death and some greens hated him for serving Aegon III faithfully in the aftermath of the war. (x)

who wants to sob with me about how El in the lab is basically living in a Harlow monkey experiment?

[info below the cut if you're unfamiliar. tl;dr very sad and unethical contact comfort and maternal deprivation experiments on baby monkeys]

El being torn from her mother and raised in a sterile environment full of cold hard surfaces with probably no loving contact ever -> El clinging to her stuffed animal in the lab because it's literally the only soft object available to her -> El spending her lab recovery phase (s1-2) swaddling herself in big warm clothes and blankets and soft textures ->

El reacting emotionally to Brenner's touch because it's the closest thing she's ever known to the contact comfort and parental love she craves innately even though she hates and fears him ->

El with irreparable social deficits due to isolation -> El not being very good at interacting with her peers and tending to stay apart from the group -> El getting bullied ->

El being in the fetal position in so many lab scenes -> El continuing to curl up in a ball when stressed even outside the lab because she's never had anywhere to turn for safety or comfort ->

El craving touch and clinging to her friends and parental figures for the love and comfort and reassurance she never got as a child -> me sobbing forever

Using methods of isolation and maternal deprivation, Harlow showed the impact of contact comfort on primate development with his ethically controversial experiments in the 1960s.

Infant monkeys were taken from their mothers and raised in a laboratory setting, with some infants placed in separate cages away from peers. In isolation, the monkeys showed disturbed behavior, staring blankly, circling their cages, and engaging in self-mutilation. When the isolated infants were re-introduced to the group, they were unsure of how to interact, and did not stand up for themselves when bullied.

Even without complete isolation, the monkeys raised without mothers developed social deficits, showing reclusive tendencies and clinging to their cloth diapers. Harlow was interested in the infants’ attachment to the cloth, speculating that the soft material may simulate the comfort provided by a mother’s touch.

Harlow took infant monkeys from their biological mothers and gave them two inanimate surrogate mothers: one made of wire, and the other covered in soft terry cloth. Harlow found that the infants spent significantly more time with the terry cloth mother than they did with the wire mother, even if the wire mother provided food and the cloth one did not.

Infants also turned to inanimate surrogate mothers for comfort when they were faced with new and scary situations. If an alarming noise-making toy was placed in the cage, infants with surrogate mothers would retreat and cling to them for comfort before exploring; infants without surrogate mothers were paralyzed with fear, huddled in a ball sucking their thumbs, rocking, or screaming.

#I know it doesn't exactly fit the analogy but duffers if that's why you named her mom Terry i'll be there soon #eleven #gifs #mine #harlow monkey experiment #angst #lab feels #lizlemon[crowdbooing].jpg #the alarming toy / clinging to surrogate mother part -> elmike and dustin's hammer thing #I'm gonna have to do a whole other post about that instead of writing a novel in the tags #anyway: I'm crying #and this has been on my mind since the first time I watched s1 years ago #I didn't realize until making this post how often she's curled up in a ball in the lab #brenner i'm reanimating your corpse so I can kill you again #btw i'm carrying el around in one of those front baby sling things. yes at her current age. it's a workout but it's necessary
