[everysongineverykey]

genuinely how can you listen to mother love by queen and not come back a changed person.

#I'M A MAN OF THE WORLD AND THEY SAY I'M STRONG #BUT MY HEART IS HEAVY AND MY HOPE IS GONE #I DON'T WANT PITYYYY JUST A SAFE PLACE TO HIDE!!! #MAMA PLEASE #LET ME BACK INSIDE!!!!!!!!! #not okay. #the way it was the last song freddie mercury ever recorded. it's so #the last words the public ever heard him sing were #'i can't take it if you see me cry / i long for peace before i die / all i want is to know that you're there / you're gonna give me all your #sweet mother love' #and it wasn't even released until 1995. how is anyone normal about this #there's just such an atmosphere throughout the whole song!! it's haunting and heavy and emotional #and it knocks you off your feet!! and brian may filling in on the last verse. #the moment you know freddie's truly gone!! #it's perfect this way. it adds so much

tfw when you write an entire novel with two protagonists that spent the entire plot getting closer to each other, becoming best friends and eventually both of them deciding they would rather die than allow the other to not live a long, fulfilling life, their friendship carrying most of the emotional weight of the entire plot and the emotional climax being one of them sacrificing his life so the other can live and then the other crossing literal universes to find him, a tearful smile in his face as he confesses how much he missed him. which is the scene you wanted to write and show the most because, again, this is the pay off to the slowburn you've been writing in the entire novel and what everything has been building up to since the very first chapter. and then you end the novel by having them share a smile, finally confident they'll be able to have a happy future.

but you also just gotta have one of them marry offscreen because everyone knows you can't be happy if you're not in a het marriage with kids lmao it's whatever it's okay i'm fiNE-

#i talk a lot <3 #the greatest estate developer #lloyd frontera #this post was going to be so much more bitter this is me being nice akjshdkahdk #i just....... i'm sad alsjdsjkal #and i don't think i'm wrong to be. like i'm not disapointed bc i don't actually expected lloyd and javier to be together #i'm not that optimistic lmao #but i did have the hope tged would have no romance #because lloyd and javier were already doing so much in the emotional and relationship development front of the plot #that adding romance just feels. awkward. like an aside. an add-on that affects none of the plot and is just there to make sure #no one accidentally gets confused and think those two are in love #and guess what! most of the romance does happen in literal side stories! literally an add-on that does nothing for the plot! i hate it! #it's the heteronormativity and amatonormativity of it all :/ #do i think it would've been cool for llojavi to be canon? absolutely! do i think it was necessary for the plot? nope! #they were already perfect the way they are! their friendship is the core of the entire plot and their relationship to each other #is what ultimately moves much of the plot in the latter half! #which is the way relationships should work in fiction! not just have them for the sake of having them! #lloyd didn't need a romantic subplot because the plot was already working perfectly without it! #also what's the point of having a character constantly think about what their idea of 'happy life' is if you're not going to challenge it #it's about the hero's journey of it all!!! #i have things to say dang it! #javier asrahan #tged

[rainofthetwilight]

imagine....ninjago arabic dub, but everyone has different dialects instead of just speaking in fus7a

lloyd is syrian, kai and nya are lebanese or libyan (probably libyan), jay is morrocan, cole is egyptian, zane is iraqi, pixal is jordanian, and wu is stuck in fus7a lmao

arin is yemeni, sora, jordana and percival are lebanese (basically imperium as a whole r lebanese), wyldfyre is egyptian, euphrasia (and the cloud kingdom) is syrian, and ras would probably be any khaleegi dialect except iraqi (I'm sorry I cannot see him have any dialect other than a khaleegi one that's not iraqi, he's not deserving of iraqi it's too good for him 💪), and judging by cinder's voice in french he prob might be jordanian?? Ig???

#ninjago #ninjago dragons rising #ninjago lloyd #ninjago cole #ninjago zane #ninjago sora #ninjago jay #levi's ted talks #not tagging all of them lmao #also yes I chose morrocan for jay bc u fr cannot understand what those mfs are saying 😭 and it fits for jay #and wyldfyre as egyptian bc. it's probably obvious 👍 #we're naturally batshit people lmao and btw cole is also egyptian mainly bc I wanna project. and bc I feel he'd be from like new egypt #where everyone is much calmer and plus he *does* come from a rich family which is like. Most of new egypt #I would've gave sora a syrian dialect (syrian and jordanian r my fav dialects for context) but lebanese just felt more fitting #euphrasia fits way more for syrian tbh #and yemeni for arin..AUGHH SO PERFECT #arab ninjago fans feel free to add on to this post btw <333 #or change some up a bit bc I wanna see ur opinions

[queenhawke]

braddavid is so funny bc like. mq's main relationship (grimmpop) is so interesting and layered and complicated and is without a doubt the heart of the show yet so many people (including me) collectively went ummmm but what about the two funny middle aged men. what if they fucked

#mythic quest #like there are 40 romantic grimmpop fics and a wholeass 178 braddavid ones #and it could be bc the creators have explicitly stated that grimmpop will never be romantic but like when has that ever stopped shippers #bc lbr there is no actual romantic/sexual tension between brad and david and it will probably never be canon either AND YET #probably has to do with the general popularity of slash and the way female characters get shoved aside in favour of male ones #and i guess im part of the problem here but the thing is im a brad bakshi stan first and a lesbian second #so there #and also idk for me the appeal in writing fic about them IS the fact that there's nothing much there in the source material? #so i can just make stuff up and put them in my own little scenarios #like i loooove poppy but she's such a good well-rounded character that im like. i have nothing to add to this it's already perfect lmao #idk. what am i even trying to say here #im 6000 words deep in another braddavid fic is what im trying to say

[the-hilda-librarians-wife]

I was rewatching The Stone Forest and I really like to think that Hilda had to pass by the Bell Keeper’s outpost on her way out of the city limits. I like to think that idiot looked at what was happening, shrugged, and said ‘eh, she’s the scariest thing out there’

#“‘the scariest thing out there’?”the girl sends him a look that isn't quite a glare for once; it still conveys her opinion just as clearly #Edmund shrugs. Hilda is still within sight of his binoculars. he watches her run and can’t be sure whether she’s running *towards* or *from #*.He doesn’t think she knows either. #'I mean. it’s not like trolls can harm her at this time of the day. #Don’t tell me you believe in fairies kid.' #And there it is at last: the glare. Meiri looks up from her art project - her new therapist had reccomended it as a way to express herself #and since he'd been helping so much so far she'd decided to grudgingly give it a shot - #“*No*” she states pointedly; to anyone who knew her it was an affirmation. And Edmund knew her better than she cared for #'What I believe in is wolves and recluse spiders and ticks and nettle. And I believe that someone with the spine #to sabotage the Patrol wouldn't have the self control to not lick a pretty mushroom' #“Hey!” Edmund protested putting down his binoculars. “I sabotaged the Patrol! For *you* I might add!” #Meiri's smile turned mean; it was a regular expression for her yet it never conveyed any malice. Just the thrill of a game that never tired #her. “And would you?” she lifted one thick eyebrow; signaling to her dad that it was his move now #The dad in question was unfortunately thinking back to a time in his young teenage years when he figured he could eat anything animals bit #and gave himself a poisoning that had him taken to the ER. But she didn't need to know that. *ever* in fact. #“Obviously I would. Like I'd let a mushroom ruin my perfect sandwich diet” #Meiri groaned loudly. Some games were worth playing. But some wars she'd already accepted she'd never win #“Anyway” he turned back to staring at the outside of the wall as if it was of any interest to him (it wasn't) #“kid'll be fine is my point. And even if she isn't ya know what's the best think about this situation?” #They looked at each other with matching smirks. “none of our flipping business” he said at the same time as she echoed #“None of our fucking business” #He gasped immediatelly. “*Meiri!*” #The chastening was useless. She just shrugged innocently. #He'd really have to limit her library visits #the bell keeper hilda #meirdom #hilda the series #hilda netflix

I wanted to give the live action atla a fair shot but good god it’s such a slog to get through and I’ve only watched the first 2 episodes. The characters feel like set pieces and not living breathing people, they talk in sweeping general statements and platitudes. It feels like there is no heart which is such a bummer. They are trying to speed rush the connections which just doesn’t work there is a reason you need 18-22 episodes to tell a character driven story, 8 is simply not enough.

#atla netflix #netflix avatar the last airbender #atla spoilers #negativity #so much telling not nearly enough showing the characters are bland and dull and lesser #adaptations should add to the source material not change the fundamentals of the story come on now #and like I’m not a purist but when the original is pretty damn near perfect it’s not hard to find ways to enhance the story

[lorephobic]

this is the funniest thing that sits and rots in my drafts because its been four months atp and i still have not thought of a single headcanon for these two

#idk what it is in my brain that makes it so hard to engage w media that way but i really cannot do it to save my life #and it becomes harder and harder the more i care about something #i think. when i love something a lot and see it as perfect (in my eyes) as it is #it’s hard to justify changing it or adding to it at all because theres always the possibility that i am making it worse #it also (personally) feels like. a selfish pursuit to change and add onto canon #(which is an argument that falls apart entirely when you dismantle the idea of canon altogether) #BUT!!! at least FOR ME i am terrified of ruining something by making it more about me and less about the thing that it is #analysis is my way of getting around this #engaging with my own interpretation of media is so much easief than engaging with and altering the media itself #and even then #my analysis needs to be important or it’ll rot in my head (or drafts) for all of eternity #its. whatever that quote is thats like. #everything i create needs to be perfect to make up for the fact that its me #thats how i approach anything #unfortunately LOL

👑 Boy King AU fanart for @skitskatdacat63!

Not my proudest effort, but I tried my best. I hope you like it all the same, Catie. 🙂

⬇️ Reference images below: ⬇️

#I think I went a bit overboard with adding felt tips and Sharpies to these two pieces. #I wanted to replicate the vibrant look of your artwork but messed up a bit along the way. 😬 #So uh…what do you think? #Both of them took about a week in total to finish. #I’m actually happy with how Seb turned out #The colours to me are just perfect 😚👌🏻❤️ #Fernando…not so much. I couldn’t quite get the shape of his face to look right. #I also wanted to add some red on the throne but Nando’s outfit is red so I made it PINK! #It might not be historically accurate but I tried my best with this. Okay? #Anyway…I hope I brightened your day/night/whenever you see this Catie! #By the way thank you for the reference image you sent me of Seb bowing! #boy king au #skitskatdacat63 #boy king seb #boy king fernando #Can’t be bothered to add proper tags

I thought the Wasteland chapter & Glow's Furnace were bad enough but somehow this feels even more horrifying...

I'm sorry???

#knowing Aloysius he'll find some way to revive them but #let's say I expected a ~wholesome~ forest event how naive of me :') #much appreciation for Ophelia moments tho #but maybe this could be an opportunity to add more dimension to Aloysius' character? #like make him go totally nuclear would be interesting to watch #rn he's wayyy too perfect which probs made him unlikable for so many people #shining nikki

The problem with BOTW is that it's obnoxiously popular in the LOZ fandom to the detriment of other games but also unfortunately it's genuinely really really fun to write fanfic for.

#it really hits that perfect fandom balance of good but not THAT good you know #its base is really interesting and you can do a lot with it. there's a lot of freedom to be had playing with its characters and concepts #contrast and compare to Link's Awakening which imo has a way better story and is my most beloved zelda game #but also like. what do i even have to add. how do i write fanfic for it when it has such a great bookend #like i don't even really want to do AUs or change the ending #the reason I like it are the Themes(TM) and changing the story too radically or changing the ending risks losing that #don't get me wrong i can and have written link's awakening fanfic. i am writing link's awakening fanfic right now #but it's a lot harder to come up with concepts bc it already does such a good job with all its stuff #on the other hand botw does not utilize its story potential much yet establishes enough it's fun to expand on #so with link's awakening i'm like ok. how do i put marin in Situations this time when the game's already the best Situation she could be in #and with botw i'm like 'so here's three different link and zelda role reversal AUs' #'this is the one where zelda is transmasc' #'this is the one where urbosa is fighting ganon link is dead and riju and zelda are on a roadtrip' #'and this is the one i'm planning a 40k hubris fic for' #being a fandom hipster is all fun and games until you like something popular #at least i still don't care much about link #my posts #loz #botw

A lot of yall are pretty dramatic in the way you act like victims to trans men. Like. Relax. Focus on your real oppressors lmao.

#hard not to feel like you use that manipulative abusive uwu im always onnocent shit in your interpersonal relationships #and dear lord do i feel bad for all of your friends then lmao. #yes i know you could never do wrong you know everything you're perfect always and forever blah blah blah #analyzing your behavior is scary bc you have so much shit going on already and facing how shitty you're being will add more shit #to the shit pile you're dealing with and. gasp. you might feel *bad* about something you did #god forbid #ya know. i gotta deal w the same shit yall do and im still able to analyze my wrongdoings and not act like an eternal victim. #you should try it sometime. if you really think looking at yourself is so scary i think that just means you havent come to terms w how #much you hate yourself for the way you act n shit.

i love when fics make ctechno a person who makes comedy on serious situations and it's a unserious man but a the same time someone strong, powerful and that has his soft side.

Also i love wet cat cdream and when some make cquackity a pathetic disaster in romantic relationships that gets in love too quickly i don't know why it's just kinda funny. Like loyal post about cquackity reaction on crivals going on a dinner date makes me laught when i remenber it

yes to both!!

#asks #genuinely have nothing to add these are both perfect #ctechno being written that way just feels so much like ctechno and him cracking jokes and insulting cdream just warms my heart #and the q thing and the rivals dinner date is a blessed post
