It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

↳ moments that make me cry

#PATERNAL RELATIONSHIPS. GUARANTEED TO MAKE ME SOB. #iasip #it's always sunny in philadelphia #dennis reynolds #frank reynolds #mac mcdonald #charlie kelly #ada's gifs #ada speaks #dennis holding brian jr makes me. full on cry. #the way he goes from awkwardly holding him & trying to play it off like he doesn't care. nervous laugh and a glance back at mandy. #'am i doing it right?' i'm not fit to be a father. this is completely foreign to me. #tips his head against his son's. clenches his jaw. tries so hard not to cry with everyone standing there watching. hugs him closer. #says he's done saying goodbye and then backs away with a look of visible upset when mandy tries to take brian jr from him. #and. dennis kissing frank. at first going to hug him but deciding against it. too intimate. too much commitment. #and again... 'am i doing it right?' is this is how sons are supposed to act with their fathers? ''was that okay to do?'' #charlie just wanting someone to be there for him. to care for him. to care *about* him. #and frank. who caused immense damage to dennis in the short stints when he was actually around. but *was* around. #frank makes everyone realize that they are what charlie needs right now. that they all love charlie. #dennis. who is grateful for frank having been there. as abusive and selfish as he may have been. dennis took that and closed himself off. #taught himself to guard against it. shut off his feelings. prioritize himself above all else. he's Strong because of frank's neglect. #incredibly damaged. unhappy. but Strong. #because the ones who are supposed to care about you most in the world just don't. YOU have to care about you. that's how frank lived too. #charlie has chosen to avoid his entire life. #and now he's been forced to confront it all. he'd been content not knowing if frank was his biological father. #he had a father figure who cared for him. and he wasn't around because he didn't know charlie was alive. he thought bonnie aborted him. #but the reality of it all is that charlie's biological father avoided too. he knew charlie was his son. he spoke to him and *lied* to him. #and just as soon as they reconnect and have a chance to make up forty years of lost time #he dies. he fucking dies. and leaves charlie alone again. to carry him up a goddamn mountain by himself. shouldering this grief and anger. #charlie can't be selfish. he isn't allowed to now. because his dad died and left him one last task. he still doesn't want to let him down.

I'm on episode 5 of the Fallout show; NO WHAT THE HELL I LITERALLY THOUGHT TO MYSELF "MAN I'M BEGINNING TO LIKE THIS SHOW" AND THEN THEY JUST REMOVE THE NCR FROM CANNON. WHY. THAT'S SUCH A FRUSTRATING CHOICE

also STOP PLAYING ON THE NOSE MUSIC I CAN UNDERSTAND THE PLOT WE DON'T NEED CONSTANT 50S MUSIC

#fallout 1 #fallout #fallout 2 #fallout new vegas #fallout meta #fallout show #fallout tv show #fallout prime #fallout tv series #fallout tv spoilers #fallout amazon #fallout series #THEY FUCKED IT. “PEOPLE DIDN'T AGREE ON HOW THE WORLD SHOULD BE IMPROVED IS NOT ENOUGH” #I feel like I know this is completely irrational to be upset over. It's literally fiction. DOES not matter #the Tv-show can do what it likes #BUT IT FUCKING SMARTS to do a twist like that. Hope they at least expand more on it?? #I'm not even against an “NCR falls apart” or whatever #I think you could do that interestingly #but it was like a whole country #I was thinking this was maybe some different continuity then the games. Honestly would've preferred that. #they could've just had it in California without bringing up the NCR. That's fine. But this such a boring end to that continuity. #especially when you compare it to New Vegas. The line “people don't agree when trying to make the world better” is such a nothing line #ESPECIALLY WHEN COMPARED to New Vegas #which actually engages with the ideas and theme of history repeating beyond that surface level #I hate being upset with media #it's a pretty good character beat for Lucy #and I think this is the first time Maximus becomes likable as a character for me #but maaaaan that's a dumb twist

After pondering on it for several days, I have officially decided I did not like the direction of KFP4 and have banished it from my brain. It is no longer canon. KFP4? What's that? Don't know what you're talking about.

#spoilers ahead #it wasn't all bad #I really truly loved the scenes with Li and Mr Ping they were wonderfully hilarious #and the music was great #BUT #I just did not like the direction they took Po's story at all. #and I'm kinda furious they subtly undermined Shifu's character #by making him “fine”/“not fine” with Oogway picking Po as his successor instead of him. #it was only a thing for 2 seconds for the sake of humor but it completely undermines his inner peace character development #first off why can there only be one successor #and second off why can't Po take primarily the fighting side and Shifu take the spiritual side #It FITS HIM #don't know if most people would notice that shifu's character was undermined but because he's one of my favorites I sure did and it HURT #also um the furious five WHY didn't we have them be the main characters with Po instead of the fox chick no one cares about #literally their interactions with Po that's WHY WE'RE HERE DREAMWORKS #also it's become really obvious to me that the fox girl was literally written just so they could cast a specific voice actress in a big rol #nothing against that actress I love her in other stuff but that was a bad move Dreamworks #and another thing #the movie's message about change not always being bad is perfectly fine and good in theory #but such character change is only satisfying from a storytelling perspective if the audience actually WANTS the character to change!!! #I don't WANT Po to stop being the dragon warrior! I don't WANT him to pick a successor! That wasn't satisfying!! like whyyyyyyyyy #Plus he's like way too young?? to be worrying about this??? Oogway didn't worry about it until he was literally 900 years old #Shifu is what in his 60s? 80s? and he hasn't picked one #why would they make shifu worry about po doing that any time soon literally at all #so there dreamworks #I banish this movie #I banish it for one thousand years #kfp4 #kung fu panda 4 #po kung fu panda

#My art #Wander Over Yonder #Wander #Was I specifically drawing him with his eyes closed to avoid learning his particular eye style? Maybe #But hey look! I did for the second one! That's something! Lol #There's no consensus on his eye colour but I've chosen blue for the moment - it's the eye colour that seems most consistent #There are a lot of elements to his design where I kinda have to unlearn from my own habits lol #The rubberhose is no problem :D I really enjoy rubberhose even if I don't use it very often! #But things like his mouth shape and his teeth only showing when he's like fully smiling - or eyes touching in that cartoony way! #No pun intended but it's very alien to me lol #But it's little things like that that I'm noticing about the ''rules'' of his model like what I was talking about before #He'll still be recognizable as himself if I were to do those things but would they be true to his actual look? Hmm #And I'm totally not against taking some liberties lol - this is fanart that /I'm/ making and very much Not the show lol #But learning and paying attention to details and seeing just how close I can from within the constraints of my own abilities >:3c It's fun! #Plus then it makes my own little touches - calling cards - stand out even more hehe ♪ Blush marks are too fun to ditch completely! #He's a fun and cute lad to work with :3

Happy STS Elli!

What inspires you to write? Are there things that you know that you can get inspiration from or does it just come randomly?

Happy STS!

For me, inspiration doesn't mean "to write".

There are, and always have been, a lot of stories floating around in my mind - ideas, scenes, vibes, outlines. I get inspiration from literally everywhere, from talking to my friends, and video games, and scrolling past images or prompts, and reading books, and spending too much time on reddit, and…

Many remain daydreams, or character backstories, eventually lost to time.

Now for actually being able to sit my ass down and get words on the page? I don't know. It comes and goes as it pleases. Having a beehive where a brain should be does NOT help, let me tell you that.

I just. Can't focus on shit lately. Can barely make it through a chapter when reading. Every day is just suddenly over, and I got nothing done, and I am so tired. I have a completely outlined short thing I have been trying to write since Nov, and it's like pulling teeth.

I could do with several months off work while everyone leaves me the fuck alone. How would that be.

#salad-ask #aria-benedetto #sts ask #I cried new year's because after having 1 (one) day of my vaction actually completely to myself #Which was after I already didn't get any quiet time on my LAST three attempts at taking time off because someone was sick at home #And spending most of all that time just working (in my time off) and cleaning the depression piles #My mom berated me for instantly refusing to come over for some 'if I die you need to know where stuff is' talk #(note: there's no reason to think she might anytime soon and she was talking about like... a cd collection) #'You always have something!!!' #I don't know anymore how to get people to understand how fucking exhausted I am. #I'm about to let the stupid paint course voucher from work lapse because in a year I didn't find a motive I like and the energy to even #consider wasting 3 hours of my life after work to produce some physical object I have no room for while having to run to get there on time #Not to mention people!! A room full of people!! #I've just become sooo sensitive to noise lately I can't even stand to be in the kitchen when the fridge hums #And you're always always always the bad guy if you close the door in someone's face because they're whistling or watching tv or calling #It's cool :) Sorry I was being unsocial :) Lemme just quickly slam my head against a wall until I pass out :) #So uh anyway happy STS writing has been going well

i have been on this website for a very long time and i have seen a lot of changes, and i’ll be the first to admit that there have been ideas that were met with uproar but actually turned out to be very good for the site. but this is the worst suggestion i have ever heard and it genuinely astounds me how this site continues to not only ignore a large portion of its userbase, but in this instance, actively work against them

#tumblr mess #i'm just... so angry... #like i'll admit when the gif dimensions changed i was like THIS IS AWFUL I CAN'T GIF AGAIN #but i was being completely melodramatic and it was fine #(i just don't like change ok) #but this???? #this is genuinely fucking up the site #why does it genuinely feel like tumblr works against us as gifmakers and not with us? #people who have had the change already have reported it actually makes things load SLOWER bc tumblr's video format is crap #so like what's the point????

people need to be more comfortable expressing love and affection with friends

#it should never be controversial for me to tell male friends that I love them #bc I do. I understand that sometimes people can misunderstand it #if a male friend is into me then I won't say it bc I don't wanna give anyone the wrong idea #but if we are completely platonic then I should be able to tell everyone that I love them #not even in a weird or excessive way #just like. before you leave you're like. goodnight friend I love you #this also is about physical affection too #I remember sitting around a table with a group of friends and I put my head on my friend's shoulder #and then she rested her head against mine #we just did that for a minute but people were acting like it was sooooo weird. sorry that we're besties and we love each other? #anyways. where is my friend actually we should be hanging out rn #I'm not feeling very loving rn where is this hoe #Sera

oooh ok if you’re wanting prompts- robin chrissy and heather’s days off finally align, but they all have different things they want to do together. do they bicker? make a plan? compromise?? 👀

So I'm imagining they all have entirely separate jobs because of course they do. Robin's got her job doing whatever, let's say she's managed to snag a job (With Steve of course that's her work best friend never leave home without him) at the local Waffle House so her work hours are weird and sometimes she's going to bed the moment her wives wake up, Chrissy is working as a gymnastic coach, and Heather has somehow gotten herself into being a volunteer firefighter. Chrissy has the most flexible schedule (Get it) out of all of them.

They do love their jobs, but man is it brutal on their date nights.

Eventually they do manage to get a weekend together, and of course they don't want to waste it!

Problem is the how. Heather just wants to have a normal date night so she wants to go out and eat after a nice walk around town. Robin doesn't want to be near a restaurant because she is positive the waitress mentality will embarrass her in front of everyone ('Babe you work at a Waffle House it's not that fancy.') ('Heather baby my sweet sweet flaming ball of my miserable yet enchanting life I will accidentally walk into the kitchen if I'm not careful.') ('... Robbie why would you be in the kitchen?') ('Tickets.') ('Ah.')

Chrissy wants to spend the entire time in the house, cuddled up with each other and being lesbian wives doing lesbian wife things like holding hands and see how close they are to succumbing to building furniture for fun. As sweet and relaxing as that sounds somehow it feels like a waste just being home and doing absolutely nothing. They're not gonna have this much time again for a long while they might as well use it! (They do sleep in bed a little longer together regardless. Chrissy is a lump in the blankets, Robin has sprawled over everything, and Heather is octopused around the closest things which are usually either her girls or a pillow)

Robin wants to commit crimes of the loving but frankly a little concerning kind.

We can't let Robin commit crimes.

No matter how much Chrissy and Heather also want to commit crimes.

So they do bicker for a while over the span of a week before the actual days off in the form of many, many sticky notes stuck to bathroom mirrors, passing conversations, muttered sleepy time musings, messengers in the form of sending whoever they could convince to go between work places, phone calls, and even one (1) point in time where they were just in the same bathroom together.

In the end they ask Steve, date-life extraordinaire, for advice, who just tells them (in a fit of this man was rudely awoken) something about how girls like spas and stargazing. He's totally making something up.

It gives Robin an idea immediately, even if it makes no sense and takes a little convincing. A nice and relaxing spa day followed by shuffling off into the wilderness and laying underneath the stars! Perfect! No sitting around at home but also plenty of relaxation and being all date-y!

(It ends up being the greatest date night ever.)

(Even though Steve is a little worried when Robin came back with a photo of them in a tree while a bear was sniffing around at the bottom.)

(And when Heather came in to regale the tale of how Robin does not believe she could wrestle a bear.)

(... And how Chrissy accidentally kicked a bear in the face and apologised as told by Chrissy herself.)

#stranger things #robin buckley #heather holloway #chrissy cunningham #hollowbuckingham #pompompoolsailor #cunningway #bucklway #buckingham #steve is just their honourary extra and guy that knows what makes a good date #steve makes no actual final decision he is just there because that is robin's best friend why wouldn't she prod him for info #the girls were desperate by the way #alternatively i'm pretty sure they'd somehow end up committing crimes #just sets fire to things in an empty field and also see who is the better can shooter with real weapons #and perhaps end up just doing girls things like do an escape room or smash objects or devour strawberries like maniacs #or paint their nails. girl things #they won against the bear by the way #completely by accident but they won #nothing says a day off like a spa day followed by being chased by a bear #perhaps this is where they rock climb :) #they end the day with a relaxing bath together #and by together I mean TOGETHER #they got a massive bathtub for a reason! #someone falls asleep in the bath because someone else is massaging her head #making the most out of their days off #there is a small chance of kidnapping as per usual

how to write vent post title that does not come off as self-pitying and or accusatory (because it's NOT !)

#sorry tumblr is like a diary to me idk what i'll do w this blog after i (sigh) inevitably move on #either way #im convinced everyone hates me again :3 but realistically no one cares about me even enough to hate me im just stupid and self centred 💔 #if anything me TYPING these posts is actuvely turning people against me #again with the assumptions that people care enough to read these 😭 fhskfbhsjfkg #i hate that i care so much what people online think of me cuz irl it's like. whatever #but here there are so many cool people who i admire and would love to be friends with im always hyperparanoid of everything i do #and still i manage to overstep and come off as annoying #like obvs you're allowed to hate me even if you're someone i look up to like that's your perogative #but i hate worrying about IF anyone hates me #oughgh this is easier irl because usually people send off pretty clear signals if they dont like you #but online (esp with how prickly this fandom is) i don't know whether im being insecure and reading into things or whether people just don't #like me (which again is fine i would just rather know if anyone gets it) #i figure art is the one way i can get people to like me 💔 which sounds kinda pathetic because irl i KNOW im liked and capable! #fandom has just become such a big part of my personality that i cant detach my self worth from it #and i do love art and drawing and such i hate that even if i know people my stuff EYE dont and it doesnt mean anything or act as a signifier #of my friendships #wow .... i really am my own therapist ..... i should shut up #the industrial revolution and its consequences (jofandom) #i think these posts are half self exploration half ... almost self harm? because sometimes im so derogatory about myself on purpose in a #'you're worthless' way. but at the same time it's cathartic and i always feel better having probed at my feelings and gotten them in order #not to do a complete 180 but it's MY post and JO LONDON IN *12* DAYS!!!!!!!! AHH i'm sooo excited if it doesnt live up to my expectations i #may cry a little. and there will be another vent post from me ! #sometimes i wonder if anyone actually reads these 😭 #vee rambles

I know I’ve been posting a lot more stuff from LOTR than from the Silmarillion lately, but hopefully nobody minds.  Anyway, here’s more LOTR.

Don’t be rude, Legolas.

Thanks to @cultivating-wildflowers​ for reminding me of this passage with a drawing prompt that I did not end up sticking to.

Transcription:

Gimli stood leaning against the breastwork on the wall.  Legolas sat above on the parapet, fingering his bow and peering out into the gloom. “This is more to my liking,” said the dwarf, stamping on the stones.  “Ever my heart rises as we draw near the mountains.  There is good rock here.  This country has tough bones.  I felt them in my feet as we came up the dike.  Give me a year and a hundred of my kin and I would make this a place that armies break upon like water.” “I do not doubt it,” said Legolas.  “But you are a dwarf, and dwarves are strange folk.”

#gimli #legolas #the man the myth the legends #one shiny #my trash #is this actually funny or am i just tired #i'm sorry professor tolkien #heck yeah bromance #contraband twizzlers #/end classification tags #legolas's proportions keep getting more exaggerated the more i draw him #his arms are going to look like beads on a string by the time i'm done with him #i tend to imagine him as an awkward-looking gangly teenager but like he's also an archer #which means he has to have muscly arms #and this means i end up with this stupid cartoonish look but to be completely honest i don't really mind #also just picturing legolas sitting all goofy on the wall #either with his knees sticking up around his shoulders like a spider #or else kicking his heels against the walls like a five-year-old #and absentmindedly petting his bow like you would pet a cat that jumped up on your lap while you were busy #i don't know if that's exactly how tolkien pictured the scene playing out but like #it's how it looks in my mental image and i'm not sorry

[roostertuftart]

anyway though i'm gonna write an essay on why kyle isn't a nice guy/incel bc I feel like someone's gotta do it and I'm shocked I haven't seen it done already

#haha like i make jokes he is bc it's funny but i've been seeing ppl who genuinely think it and... odfsfsf #LISTEN you can think what you want. go off have fun. BUT LIKE. the show canonically doesn't really present that idea #and i wanna talk about that bc I think even going beyond my love for Kyle as a character #tratt actually have done some impressive writing around character tropes like that that sorta flip the idea on it's head #and write kyle in a way that's way more unique and intriguing as well as tied to other behavior of his that makes way more sense than #'oh he mad he didn't get the girl' or whatever #me talking #in general sp rarely writes its characters that generically. they're usually more complex than that and I appreciate it a lot #bc those tropes are boring and old imo as well as rarely being critical of the behavior itself which is often pretty sexist #and south park manages to criticize it while also completely going against it and someone HAS to discuss it bc if I don't. WHO WILL #probably someone else eventually but listen i'm gonna do it soon >:)))

Because it's FUUUUUUNN

#What is wrong with you Sam you should not be allowed to write #I guess sometimes you just have to resign yourself to writing extremely trashy rarepair AUs that will only appeal to like three people #It is The Way #Y'all motherfuckers don't care about Chricky?! WELL GUESS WHAT after I'm done with this...you will continue to not care about Chricky!! #But I'll be happy! 😀 #On a more serious note I am dubious about the quality of this writing #Methinks this second chapter is going to expose how out of my depth I am with this AU 😬 #But I've wanted to write a proper multi-chapter fic for a long time now since it's been forever #And against all odds it's *this* idea that I've thought about the most and have something resembling a story taking shape in my mind #And it's FUUUUUUUUN for me at least so maybe that's all that matters? #Still need to actually complete that outline though #And perhaps a separate doc just to catalogue all of the superfluous smut ideas I have in mind for this fic #When I say I've thought about this AU too much and have an embarrassing amount of ideas for it I mean it baybeeeeee #And at this point it's like...I almost don't care if it's bad?

#this might be both oversharing and being too vague rn but it's 2am and i'm emotionally exhausted #i can't believe during one of the most traumatic moments i've had in the past year i was lucky enough to have scott as my biggest supporter #the entire time as i was going through it he was so supportive giving me space to process shit and always having my back #and yet there are some people in my life who are always going to villainize him for one comment he said during that time out of context #or even if they're not ''villainizing'' him i now feel like i have to begin every sentence about scott with #''yeah we don't agree on everything but we're still friends and isn't that amazing!'' #which yeah that is true and i do genuinely enjoy when scott and i disagree and are respectful about it #BUT WHY DOES THAT HAVE TO BE THE FIRST THING I SAY ABOUT HIM???? #and honestly that whole experience made me agree with scott on way more than i started out with #i'm proud of how i was able to grow as a person and for the fact that it brought me and scott much closer together #but that shit i went through at my college was still traumatic. and it did change me as a person #it completely changed my relationship to activism in a way i'm not happy about bc i want to be more of an activist #but when i had someone use social justice language to justify horrible things against me it's hard not to be wary #of how hollow and performative a lot of conversations can be #and like i'll even say it. like people might get mad at me for admitting it #but that whole traumatic situation has irrevocably changed my relationship to gender as well #or at least how i label myself and how i move through these conversations #and in some ways i'm grateful for it bc i do feel like i know myself more and like i don't have to worry about what others' think #or even what other people understand #but it shouldn't have had to go down like that. and as much as the time i got to spend with scott during that time was so much fun #and such a great experience and he was truly the perfect support system during that time #he shouldn't have had to deal with that and neither should i #and the fact that scott somehow got villainized in some people's minds while the person who actually caused that trauma #is instead treated like ''yeah he was a bit misguided and made a mistake but he was probably anxious about it!! he's just a person!!'' #that's never going to stop being painful. especially the idea that with the importance people put on labels #i would supposedly have more ''community solidarity'' with that asshole than a cis gay man like scott #idk i think i'm past the timeframe of that traumatic experience bc it's not consuming every day like it used to a few weeks back #but something triggered it tonight so i just need to process it. anyway shoutout to scott for being there for me i really needed it

I have to put fresh sheets on my bed and make it but I've just been sitting on my bare mattress for the last 20 mins ranting to myself about this damn show

#again rewatching this with a developed adult brain is CRAZY #and I'm catching so many things I didn't notice before #and it's making everything feel even more !!! than the first time I watched the show #like!!!!like!!! somehow I never caught onto how such a strong part of flint's grief comes from the fact that he didn't try and rescue Thomas #and how his actions led to all of this happening in the first place #he could have sided against Thomas with his father. and they never would've had any of the mess that came with angering Dad #but that just wasn't possible to him anymore #because of what he felt for Thomas he had to defend his ideals. the ones they shared #and after all that. KNOWING that HE was partly responsible for what happened to Thomas!! just how painful it is that he walked away. #and fled to Nassau. and didn't do anything to try and help Thomas #like!!! the GUILT that must cause!!! the ANGUISH!!! no WONDER he's Like That Jesus Christ #and like!!! oh my GOD Toby Stephen's acting is outstanding in this #the way you could feel the palpable shift right after flint hugs Miranda. while Ashe is telling them how he can wisk them away to someplace #else in Europe. and james steps back!! you could see it in his EYES that that is the moment when Captain Flint starts to form #and you can hear it in his voice. the barely perceptible shift. that he reached his breaking point #also I completely forgot about the surprise Vane attack at the end of that episode and I nearly screamed #black sails #ALSO!!!!!! going through all of this with the knowledge that Miranda dies T^T and that Thomas is actually alive and they get reunited #is tearing my soul apart I think #these sheets may not be going on my bed tonight.....
