[ID: two nearly identical drawings in a style that resembles the webcomic Paranatural less and less by the day. In the first, a slightly dressed-down grownup teacher Five comes home to Delores the mannequin on his kitchen table. He says "Hello, darling." In the next picture, the scene is tinted blue and the actual Delores, a giant centipede beetle creature with tentacles and spidery legs, looms over the mannequin. She says "Welcome home, my dear." End ID]

more paranatural au.

i had the opportunity to make it less weird. I chose not to!

#tua #the umbrella academy #five hargreeves #delores tua #dolores tua #delores is five's beloved bug wife! they are married <3 #(platonically because all my fives are aroace but still)#the scene is a representation of a little worldbuilding detail of paranatural's #when spirits possess an object they can only be seen by the spectral they end up bound to #and even then only upon like... activation #so to everyone including five the mannequin mostly looks like a mannequin #until hes specifically trying to talk to delores etc #uh #cw bugs #i dont know that its enough to give people the ick but just in case #my art

thinking about how honest the hope is in disco elysium, if that makes sense. how you face consequences for the actions and life you can’t remember. how your nightmares come back and they just might be there to stay. how you still wake up in pain and have to very actively fight off the cravings of your old addictions. how it isn’t easy trying to chose not just life, but living better, living for yourself. how it doesn’t mean any of the problems will go away, or the pain will stop, but it gives you an option other than constant suffering. there’s always a silver lining, it’s just a matter of being able to look up and find it.

hope isn’t always easy, and sometimes it is a choice, but in a torn up world and a torn up body, it’s something. it’s not always pretty or perfect, it’s clumsy and sometimes foolish and hard to keep close, it’s difficult, and maybe it’s all you have but it’s something - streets and sodium lights, the sky, the world, you’re alive

#and you damn well better keep it that way #it’s honest because trauma is still something you have to face and go through no matter how ugly #and it doesn’t just go away. things can get better and then something can hit you again. and that’s okay #idk something something it’s waves in an ocean and sometimes it’s a storm and hope keeps you afloat but it doesn’t mean you can get out of #the ocean. it’s very real in this #does any of this make any sense #or is it just 2 am and I’m stringing words together that sound nice but make no sense #i just think. so much specifically about that last dream with Dolores dei. how it promises to be an ongoing occurance #how even with Kim and solving the case and starting new he’ll still struggle with his traumas #physical and mental. but at least it isn’t hopeless yknow? it sucks but life goes on and it doesn’t suck 100% of the time #idk I’m just. thinking #disco elysium #harry du bois #z speaks

If what’s happening is indeed a time loop… I just realised that OB has his memories intact solely due to the fact that Timely/future HWR would NEED an engineer who is able to fix the Loom. That same engineer would later write a guidebook for the next TVA.

And the blast doors are aura-locked so that the TVA will HAVE to pull an HWR variant to open them to alter/do maintenance on the Loom. Miss Minutes apparently was neglected from the planning but I don’t think she would play along and open the doors anyway. No one or nothing really threatens her, for now

Another theory, but sad. People like Mobius got their memories erased, and so forgot about OB. But HWR forgot on his own, forgot that he has this genius engineer in the basement, just like he (probably) neglected Miss Minutes

#last thoughts before ep 4 #come on Loki don’t disappoint #i survived through OFMD finale please have mercy #la vida es dolor #tbh I don’t feel enthusiastic and don’t anticipate anything just for my own sake #LWR's theories #loki series #loki season 2 #loki ouroboros #he who remains #in any case poor OB I don’t want anything happening to him #also please can we not have Mobius dead by the end of s2? please?#THAT’S ENOUGH THAT’S ENOUGH SLICES!!!!

I just really love the detail that Alberich takes a reverential bow before rushing into battle. I never could interrupt him, he is so polite. :'( I feel like he'd totally be the type to kiss a woman's hand upon greeting.

#unless she is like Dolores (masculine)#or like Nepheli (a culture and vibe that clearly doesn't deal with similar dynamics)#in this case he'd just greet them like fellow gentlemen lol #elden ring

Always wanted to see an interaction between Jessica and Dolores at the warehouse afterwards so they ended on a better note. Jessica apologizing for her compromising position with Eddie and Dolores for the "watercolor" remark. They never have a direct interaction. They both only address Eddie in their one scene together. They just share an annoyed look to each other.

Yeah, they definitely should have had some kind of interaction. Even if it was just sharing an understanding look towards each other, it would have still been something.

Heck, Dolores even interacts with Roger, in a way that it looks like she's developing a soft spot for him. In the bar when Roger is dancing, Dolores is smiling and nudging Eddie like "You got to admit, this is fun." Granted that could have just been her trying to encourage Eddie to lighten up, but I like to think it also had to do with Roger growing on her.

So in the film, we see Eddie and Roger grow closer, Eddie trusting Jessica, and Dolores possibly starting to like Roger. If we got a Dolores/Jessica interaction, it would have come full circle.

Ah well. That's what we got fanfiction for!

considering my pattern of always getting very into a pair of highly traumatized and extremely similar Most Characters of All Time and it's always one man and one woman and they either are so uncomfortable seeing themselves in the other that they totally avoid each other and barely interact and have no chemistry or are completely obsessed w each other and thinking about it at all times but they always suffer from same bitch disease

#kara and gaius and anthy and touga type 1. william and dolores type 2 #daniel and zoe type 2 spike and faith type 1 #just. that's the same bitch you just did it twice 😔#in each case im so interested in either the relationship or the total lack of relationship #(spike & faith being bros down the line doesn't count btw bc they're both actively working on their recovery by that point <3)

of sad endings and christmas lunch

for luca (and for all those i miss)

you worked in a book, video, music store. you introduced me to pirating films. you told me to read those books, then watch the films, then come talk to you about them. i never got the chance to but i did read and watch them. they ruled, i wish i could tell you. i wish i could ask you what your favorite character was. i wish i at least was able to take a guess. i wish i saw you more. i wish i could see you again, even just one last time, i wish i could tell you i'm different now, i wish i could ask you, does it change anything for you? i wish i could tell you so many things. ti voglio bene, first and most of all.

i sometimes think life is like a movie

but wouldn't the waves look prettier then?

wouldn't this grief be fake then?

how i wish this grief was fake.

have you ever thought life was like a movie?

this shouldn't have been your ending

there shouldn't be one yet

we should be smiling in a cinema shaking our heads.

i sometimes wish life was like a movie

one i could try and come up with the script of

i'd rewrite your ending so that it's decades in the future

and we still have the time to laugh over tortellini.

#nico.txt #12 anni sembrano infiniti. ma allo stesso tempo il dolore a volte sembra non essere cambiato. mi manchi. ti voglio bene #death tw #just in case..#grief tw

Okay but. Something about Dora Ingerlund not being allowed to just be a human person. Because we see her through Harry's eyes, she is always either deified or demonised. Which is how women are often seen - either a perfect pure angel, or the evil bitch who ruined you. And in Dora's case, this harmful mindset is depicted perfectly. She's never just a woman, just some person, a human trying to make it through life. She is either Dolores Dei, a holy figure, resplendent and untouchable, or she's the ex-something, the shadow looming over you, the damn woman-thing who tore your heart out. Never just Dora. It's so fucked up, but so well done.

#this. came to me so randomly but now I'm thinking about it and i cant stop #I'm sure smarter people have written about this already #de #disco elysium #dora ingerlund #harry du bois #harrier du bois #dolores dei #disco elysium meta

oh i would actually be curious to hear your thoughts on lolita book covers in that case. i do get the sense that some of the covers are designed to uncritically titilate and seem to misunderstand the text, but that could obviously be an assumption on my part lol.

oh i agree that the cover designs tend to run counter to nabokov's intentions, both in the text and in the literal instructions he gave about covers lol. they pretty clearly rely on putting some young girl on display, which is exactly what nabokov did not want to do visually; they also tend to suggest dolores as some kind of seductress (sultry gazes, pouty lips, &c). clearly this is precisely the opposite of what the text tells us about her.

however when evaluating these visual choices i find that many people portray them as some kind of originary and culturally polluting act: that is, a narrative emerges that the problem here is people misinterpreting 'lolita', and then publishing it with covers that will do harm to young girls &c. i think this is lazy analysis and fundamentally makes idealist assumptions overestimating the effect of cultural products (books, book covers) on problems, like the sexualisation of children, that are in fact grounded in material relations, such as in this case the status of children as legal property and the total power granted to adults over them. that is to say, these broader conditions are at root the reason that cultural products like the cover of 'lolita' look the way they do, and chalking it up to individuals not understanding the book is never going to get us very far; and also, although some of these covers are pretty egregious, they are the reflection rather than the cause of the sexualisation of children, a problem that would continue to exist even if every edition of 'lolita' ever printed just said "humbert humbert is an unreliable narrator and dolores haze is a child he is preying on" on the cover.

fundamentally i also think this sort of conversation often elides some more interesting points about whom these covers communicate to and what they say. you suggest they are meant to "titillate"; although i would agree dolores is often shown as sexual, desirable, and seductive, i'm not sure that's the same as assuming the cover is trying to arouse the potential reader. for one thing, to put it bluntly, this style of cover tends to be associated more with books marketed to women than to heterosexual men. and more broadly, and this is something the lolita podcast really fails to understand imo, the phenomenon of people reading 'lolita' and relating themselves to dolores is not mutually exclusive with this type of rhetorical construction of dolores-through-humbert's-eyes. that is, often what appeals about dolores is, i think, precisely the fact that through her, people find a way of discoursing about or simply re-enacting the kind of sexualisation that they are already subjected to or have been in the past, whether or not at a level as explicit and extreme as what nabokov depicts.

i'm not really interested in a simple moral condemnation of the people who design these covers; that critique writes itself. they are obviously bad and facile, and reflective of precisely the culture of child sexual abuse that nabokov's text condemns. but if we are interested in the reception of these objects, or interrogating the cultural meaning and implications of their existence, i just think there's a lot more going on here than what the podcast portrays as a simple sort of 'broadcast' model of mass media wherein the 'lolita' book cover and trope is beamed out to unsuspecting innocents who are then exposed to its nefarious elements. dolores appeals to people for lots of reasons, some prurient, some pitying, some openly self-projective, and these are not mutually exclusive with one another nor are they mutually exclusive with readings that reproduce elements of the very lolita character that humbert creates and uses to silence and re-write dolores. we can be uncomfortable with that and refuse to talk about it but if that's the position someone wants to take then i'm not likely to be interested enough in their opinions to, like, listen to their podcast about this book lol.

The fact that u can ask Kim about Dolores on the day 1 debrief is hilarious when u think about it. Like imagine u find this guy who's supposed to be ur coworker on a murder case, he claims he has no memories and u roll ur eyes thinking he's just an overdramatic alcoholic but by the end of the day when you've accepted his amnesia and r trying to gently ease him back into, y'know, his job as a cop trying to solve a murder case, and you ask if he has any questions and he just goes "yeah. Who's Jesus of Nazareth?"

Ok @i-put-the-ass-into-sass and @justlikedsstuff the floodgates are open.

Imagining all the Beifongs, not just Toph having extremely sensitive seismic sense.

Just i imagine it's a very strong experience, strong enough to literally replace a sense. I imagine that it can be incredibly overwhelming for people who use it alongside other senses, eg. not replacing a sense like in Toph's case. I also imagine that the younger you learn it, the bigger difficulty you have 'turning it off'.

I like to imagine it can cause migraines and overstimulation in frequent users. But being unable to use it can cause anxiety and distress, as losing any other sense would.

Lin and Su knowing when their mother is lying about coming back home before dinner.

Su listening to her mother and sister's heartbeats and wishing that they'd just speak what was on their hearts.

Lin hearing Tenzin's heart speading up when he would look at Pema and not her. Lin having difficulty walking and keeping herself balanced after losing her bending to Amon, feeling literally blinded. Trying to keep it together in front of Amon and the Equalists but having a panic attack the moment she's alone because she can't feel anything, she can't feel anything, she can't feel anything

Su being hesitant to teach Huan and the twins seismic sense, because she knows how difficult it is for children to handle. But of course, they're stubborn little things and they start learning by themselves.

Its a very rare ability, but it comes surprisingly easy to the Beifongs. Though the cost is thay children are made to deal with senses sharper than their little minds are meant for.

I always headcanon that Huan has a particularly well developed seismic sense, which is the reason he's so testy and emotional. He can feel almost everything around the house (think dolores from encanto lol) and he has difficulty processing the overwhelming amount of stimuli. He tries to express it through art and he wears thick soled shoes to block it all out.

The twins are quite the opposite. They lean into it, so much so that they refused to wear shoes when they were younger. They were also heavily affected by being suspended in a wooden cage after the family's capture. To this day they feel incredibly anxious if seperated from it for too long.

Thinking about Opal and Baatar Jr not getting the sheer magnitude of feeling everything around you like that and thinking that their siblings are just being dramatic.

Thinking about the Beifongs pulling up their feet or trying to touch the ground as little as possible when stressed or overwhelmed. Or walking barefoot if upset or unsure, to get that connection.

Thinking sbout sensing heartbeats. Hearing the moment something or someone dies for the first time. Is it an animal, a random baby bird killed by an alley cat, a beloved pet? Or is it a person?

Lin killing a criminal in the line of duty. It wasn't her fault, technically. She did everything right, she defended the civilians he was holding hostage. But she tried to block the bleeding, hearing his heatbeat get slower and slower, until it stopped completely. How empty her head must've seemed when she could no longer hear it. How visceral the guilt must've been.

Arguments must be difficult. You can feel when you hit a nerve, sense the other person's anger, tell when they go completely cold towards you.

You can never lie, not to your family. No little white lies that make day to day life easier. No secrets. All blunt honesty and beating hearts filling your ears.

You immediately know when you've said something wrong. When you've hurt someone's feelings. The guilt is instantaneous. The slight skip of someone's heartbeat is like a slap to the face.

You know when someone's lying to you. You know they're lying when they say they'll be back for dinner. You know they're lying when they tell you they'll hang out with you tomorrow. You know they're lying when they say that they love you.

Do you call them out?

Or do you keep the peace, grin and bear it?

Can you even lie to yourself, or will your own heart betray you to yourself?

You know when a sibling is crying down the hall, know that they will be witness to every intimate moment you have, as the you will be to them.

Like there's so much to do with seismic sense. I want it to be less of a gimmick and more of a deep psychological experience. Like it is in all its essence a sense. It's probably a big part of its users lives.

Bruno with a foreigner S/O

a/n: for anon! Hope you like it

---------------------------------------

I think it depends a little on where you're from. Whether or not your culture is too different from his.

If that's the case, he would do his best to understand your culture first. He really loves it when you start talking about what you like or your childhood.

Your accent is kind of funny to him. He finds it cute and could spend hours listening to you without getting tired. He has the biggest heart eyes as he listens to you.

You're in charge of the telenovelas from now on! He will create the script, but he will definitely convince you to be the narrator.

He also consults you about your country and its customs to be able to make more variety of characters.

Introducing you to his family was quite an experience. Bruno knew you would be welcome at Casita without a doubt, he just didn't expect the enthusiasm.

First of all, you were the first person he introduced to his mother and sisters in...you were the first and only.

Alma was really happy, Pepa hugged you after threatening you and Julieta tried not to overwhelm you, but you could see the tears of joy in her eyes.

The children were less subtle. Camilo immediately mentioned your accent, receiving a scolding from Mirabel.

Dolores immediately grabbed your arm and began asking you questions, finding your way of speaking charming.

Isabela and Antonio asked you about the flora and fauna of your country and Luisa simply welcomed you, without wanting to make you feel more uncomfortable or axphyrized like the rest.

In the end, Bruno apologized for the fuss, but you assured him that you had a good time.

He begins to imitate your small gestures. He doesn't do it on purpose, he doesn't even realize it, but you do and you find it adorable.

The rest of the family makes an effort to make you feel included, Julieta and Félix invite you to share dishes from your country and Alma is really interested in your childhood.

Bruno really loves you and he's happy that you were able to open up his view of the world.

He simply loves being with you and learning everything you want to teach him (of course, you do the same, it's a reciprocal and beautiful relationship).

Overanalyzing 4KOTA Chapter 142 instead of just waiting for more info (1/2?)

Honestly? I'm writing King's side of this separately, because it's about time I started talking about him here l and I know I can go on forever about him. That field of over-analysis needs its own house. I would go off about him first but then I'd forget his kids entirely and I don't want to do that to them... Speaking of--

So silly. So precious. Berte is so Helbram-coded and I'm sure that's intentional resemblance.

You know...I wonder which of their traits were inherited from Diane's parents. Probably the golden hair on almost half of them at least. Sixtus and Tioreh's pink hair looks more like a genetic mutation...unless their hair color is inherited from the leaf color of the Sacred Tree? That's possible too.

Diane seems less energetic since becoming a mother. She's settled down and has been shown to be gentle more often than bubbly, which was the impression she gave me in the original series. I'm assuming she hasn't fought since entering the Fairy Realm, too. She's put the stress of the Holy War behind her, and I'm happy that she seems content with her lots of babies. I wonder if she'll get to hear about Dolores once the current issues are over. I'm sure hearing she's Nasiens's adoptive big sister will be a shock. Diane deserves to know that.

The way Tioreh says this makes me suspect Puck is the one behind Nasiens and Myrtel's switcheroo. He must really love that "prank" in that case. Regardless of who was behind it, though, that's actually fucked up. A fairy trolled their own king by swapping their first child with a human, probably knowing exactly what issues both kids would be put in. I can't call this just a prank. I love King to death, but his people are their own kind of awful...

For this moment, let's glance back at how she reacted to that news at first.

Tioreh must have been suspecting this the whole time Nasiens was here, but this reveal may be the moment she started to seriously believe it, if not when Nasiens admitted to feeling healthier in the Fairy Realm. After this, she started to open up about her siblings more and telling Nasiens that he's like them--especially like Phao. All of this is stuff that Nasiens didn't know about since he met her two years ago. All of the tension in this family over Nasiens and Myrtel has been building up for so long...and right now we're watching it all cave in. I'm sure King and Diane had good intentions for hiding the truth, but hiding it's not working anymore.

And Diane knows it's not working anymore. I'm stuck on her asking "Is that bad for you?" Why is she asking that of all things? Is that what King and Diane were so worried about when they decided to never come out about this? Did they think their kids would be upset with having a human for an older brother?

Okay, but maybe that's not all that they considered. Maybe they got worried about how their people outside of their family would react to their theories being confirmed. If that happened, as unfortunate as it is, Mertyl would probably get more ostracized than he was. With that in mind, I'm sure his parents made that choice to protect him from some of the problems he'd inevitably go through. It's a nice thought that way, but this was still a bad call. They made too many assumptions of their own kids' feelings.
