#not in a way that only appeals to me

[p1zzaparty]

Queer horror makes me so unbelievably happy and absolutely destroyed by how consistently mishandled it is

genuinely i want to write a whole essay on the subject because aaaaa!!!!!!

#It actually drives me crazy how badly queer horror is written #its definitely subjective and im not saying there isnt ANY good queer horror #lots of queer media IS horror #i love the connection between gay people and horror #but theres still so many problems that just #im also a huge hypocrite #sometimes i want media that revolves around queer stories #and sometimes i just want a better #written #queer character who just happens to be in horror #i think a lot of media struggles with that distinction too #good writing mixes the two together #i just like horror has that personal flare to it #not in a way that only appeals to me #just in general #personal fear #and on screen hot sweaty gay sex obviously #can i say that here #text

Very serious and focused Grand Admiral...

Sudden night time sketches. I wanted to preserve the process of working on the admiral's "flying head". Contrasting lighting is always so mesmerizing. Especially when want to create pathos.

And I still can’t decide… Red eyeliners for the eyes or more “alien” eyes???

I really liked the idea of Chiss eyes from @kobadit ✨

every single one of Elijah’s love interests are incredibly hot and badass woman, and that’s just what happens when you’re the sexiest man in the entire tvdu

#tvd #the originals #elijah mikaelson #when it comes to face and voice marcel is the hottest man hands down #but something about elijah in to specifically just oozes sex appeal idk idk that’s just me #and haylijah is my ride or die but I’m still bitter about how the writers put elijah with all these beautiful woc #only to discard them when the plot was done with #and violently too #like why couldn’t we have kept celeste the entire season?? #WHY???? #Gia’s whole story was completely thrown away for man pain #and aya …don’t even get me started #she had so much going for her as a character and she had relationships with a lot of the cast #the show tried to be more diverse but still treated the characters of color outside the main cast like crap #even then the way they wrote marcel was eyebrow raising at times #and they never fully used vincent to his potential #and keelin was a glorified extra #N E WAYS UNMM ELIJAH YOURE SEXY AND HAVE GOOD TASTE IN WOMEN

#it makes me so happy when i think about all the kids are all artistically inclined in their own way #theres only so much i could show with these images but theres more #i wanted to show the way amity plays with goo and molds it to her design is art in its own right #but its worth noting that she also writes! #and luz drawing and writing are her most notable creative outlets #but she also does taxidermy!! and she has an interest in theater. she edited romeo and juliet to be more visually appealing. and bloody #gus too!! gus can draw really well!! #but i think he expresses himself creatively the most through his illusions #its drama. its kinda like theater performances. its a one man show #but its also conjuring images from your imagination. hes also the director yknow

When Carole Lombard tackled anything it was with all her heart and soul — and that's the way she fell for Clark Gable, in a way that could have been worked only by the miracle that makes hearts beat faster on Valentine's Day. Everyone who knew Carole loved her; everyone loved Gable, too — and when they loved each other it was a romance fit for the gods. - Hedda Hopper, "Three Loves That Thrilled the World" (Modern Screen, February 1949)

#i will never be a huge gable fan but since i care about carole (don't you know?) i can only see him through the prism of this relationship #and i don't know any other couple from this era that was so crazy in love but in such a normal healthy domestic way #it's why vivien and what's-his-name do absolutely nothing for me #i don't want pornographic 'love' letters and constant drama and a queen being delulu over a complete dud of a guy who isn't worth her time #i don't get gable's appeal but i think carole knew exactly who he was and she loved him for it anyway #and of course i trust her judgment entirely so yes! i can still get on board with this love story #carole lombard #clark gable #no man of her own #the silver screen #*

I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the end of her family name.

I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.

Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.

All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:

“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”

Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

#(the quote is by Richard Woodville in his deathbed will; he was the last of the Woodville brothers to die) #elizabeth woodville #woodvilles #my post #to be clear I am not arguing that the death of an English gentry family name is some kind of giant tragedy (it absolutely the fuck is not) #I'm trying to put it into perspective with regards to what Elizabeth may have felt because we know her family DID feel this way #writing this kinda reminded me of how I am just not fond at all about the way Elizabeth's experiences in 1483-85 are written about #and the way lots so many of the unprecedentedly horrifying aspects are overlooked or treated so casually: #the seizure and murder of two MINOR sons and the illegal execution of another; #her sheer vulnerability in every way compared to all her queenly predecessors; how she was harassed by 'dire threats' for months; #how she had 5 very young daughters with her to look after at the time (Bridget and Katherine were literally 3 and 4 years old); #how unprecedented Richard's treatment of her was: EW was the first queen of england to be officially declared an adulteress; #and the first and ONLY queen to be officially accused of witchcraft #(Joan of Navarre was accused of her treason; she was never explicitly accused of witchcraft on an official level like EW was) #the first crowned queen of england to have her marriage annulled; and the first queen to have her children officially bastardized #what former queens endured through rumors* were turned into horrifying realities for her. #(I'm not trying to downplay the nightmare of that but this was fundamentally on a different level altogether) #nor did Elizabeth get a trial or appeal to the church. like I cannot emphasize this enough: this was not normal for queens #and not normal for depositions. ultimately what Richard did *was* unprecedented #and of course let's not forget that Elizabeth had literally just been unexpectedly widowed like 20 days before everything happened #I really don't feel like any of this is emphasized as much as it should be? #apart from the horrifying death of her sons - but most modern books never call it murder they just write that they 'disappeared' #and emphasize that ACTUALLY we don't know what happened to them (this includes Arlene Okerlund) #rather than allowing her to have that grief (at the very least) #more time is spent dealing with accusations that she was a heartless bitch or inconsistent intriguer for making a deal with Richard instead #it also feels like a waste because there's a lot that can be analyzed about queenship and R3's usurpation if this is ever explored properly #anyway - it's kinda sad that even after Henry won and her daughter became queen EW didn't really get a break #her family kept dying one by one and the Woodville name was extinguished. and she lived to see it #it's kinda heartbreaking - it was such a dramatic rise and such a slow haunting fall #makes for a great story tho

A lot of people say samjohn is not that realistic and compelling to them bc of how sam is john's babyboy and how parental this relationship is and i understand it's like that for some people but that's EXACTLY why samjohn has me on chokehold. It's exactly this bone deep father/son attachment, this massive softness and protectiveness, that at the same time is just, not innocent and pure?? It's a whole fucked up shitshow if you even look closer bc neither of them can ever be honest about their feelings and it's a bottomless well of contradiction and push and pull and it's so so enticing and alluring to me. Sammy is john's sweet must-be-protected-at-all-costs babyboy and john would kill everyone for him but is also plauged by visions of killing him??? Going through his whole life wondering if his precious son would become a monster he has to kill?? Trying to put the distance between the two of them bc he dreads the day sam would no longer be his babyboy? doing all and everything not just for revenge but to stop this from happening? Maybe it is not realistic to YOU, but i see it as one of the most delicious mouth watering insanity inducing dadsons on the world. yes man, the reason samjohn is extremely compelling to me is exactly because of that boundless posssesive, protective, sweet and violent fatherly love that is surrouned by something so so terrible inside the two of them. Something so terrible between the two of them. They are both bound together forever by Azazel's curse and it grows and rots inside them between the sweetness of their love.

#spn #samjohn #why am i rambling #also i never understand why a dadson ship is only called compelling if the child is taken out of the child role #like idk i never see it that way #the child being A CHILD to the parent figure is the literally the appeal of it for me #maybe something's wrong with me but WHO CARES #I had a lot of dadson ships across different fandoms but samjohn simply hits different..

infinite could technically be guardian of the life/death white emerald but i want it to be more of a gravekeeper type who tends to the dead, and infinite is too much of a edgy joke for that. i think the phantom ruby fits him, and it's the gem he's already connected to in canon. i think this one will either be an oc or just none.

for water i did consider chaos but he's already guardian of the chao.... #mysoginist, because Tikal did not even come to mind when i was brainstorming. and she would fit perfectly. literally intrinsically linked to chaos, a guy who is 99% water.

#i saw someone say marine for water too but... . i havent played rush yet and she's not appealing to me on just design alone #and shes related to blaze in a sonic and tails way i think? and i want blaze to be the only gaurdian in that kingdom #death would also be the last emerald to be introduced most likely so not too important rn.

realizing im kind of a weirdo about laios and marcille

#possramble #ignore this im just babbling but #the thing is that like. i don't ship laios and marcille together. their relationship is so so important to me in that laios comphets himsel #and THINKS that he might be in love with her but he isn't and that's my insane obsession #platonic soulmates for real but they're so sweet together that i fully expect them to be shipped together #like i get it. that's almost the appeal for me. if dungeon meshi were any other series there'd be an epilogue where they get married #convention dictates that they're meant to be together as the male protagonist and his beloved female deuteragonist #but dungeon meshi DOESNT do that and i love it so fucking much they're the comphet besties ever for my strange little brain #like if i ever did an arranged marriage au it would absolutely be laios and marcille having a platonic political marriage and then just #the most insane mutual pining with marcille and falin while laios and marcille struggle their way into becoming best friends #the imagery of the king and his beautiful court mage being tender to each other and everyone thinking they're in love is like catnip to me #like yeah they'd be like that and have no idea people think they should be together and the subversion makes me so obsessed #the more people ship them romantically. the more i enjoy their platonic dynamic it's like some sort of weird comphet fetishism idk #people think they're in love and im outside the window like YES... YES!!! #but also the second i see stuff of them kissing on the mouth or fucking im like oh god no i went too deep in here i gotta get out #don't wanna see that. i'll go feral over the idea of laios and marcille being arm-in-arm like king and queen but they would not fuck. #i want marcille to be his default comphet beard and dance partner/plus one at official royal events but they're not kissing. #she's there on his arm because he's scared of the other noble women tryna get him and being a baby about it #and people see them muttering to each other and laughing and generally being very sweet and think that they're dating but they're not. #she's actually covered in hickies from falin underneath her dress and is gonna get dragon dicked right after the party is over #like she's in her bedroom and falin's helping her take her ridiculous dress off while listening to her complain about politics #and falin is the person she goes home to the person she falls asleep to and wakes up with #they're a triad of utter devotion to each other but only farcille's side of the triangle is romantic #it's almost like an open secret because they're not trying to hide it at all but people assume and are surprised to find out #like people are so right about her relationship with the toudens but with the siblings' roles switched #love of her life & irreplaceable life companion. does anyone get it #anyway. i don't know what's wrong with me #it bothers me that they're not the undisputed most popular het ship for marcille on ao3 #it's unnatural. marcille being paired with any other man should be a fringe case.

I don't have many ships of active interest in the show outside of these; i thought it'd be fun to see what my followers, amidst this MLP infection i'm currently entering terminal stages of, think is the best among my favorites specificaly!!

#They are ranked by order of importance to me lol #but i wanna see what YOU think #fun fact i only started shipping flutterdash bc it was convenient for my fic and its scenes #but i see the appeal! #every other ship is a bomb either way #HYDROGEN bomb even #poll #very curious to see what yall think #this isnt meant to be a super wide post #since its heavily focussed on my personal bias #good luck!

Honestly really hope 4.1 gives ANY kind of interesting aspect to Neuvillette and Wriothesley's dynamic bc rn "token yaoi bait of 2 tall men who live in the same country, work together professionally but are not close personally" is just not hitting for me...

Like give me SOMETHING to work with so I don't have to be annoyed with the Wriolette art when I'm just trying to look for Neuvillette fanart

#saccha's thoughts #neuvillette #wriothesley #gi #the leaked voicelines aren't doing it either #the whole 'oh he held an umbrella for him once' would only appeal to me if I had prior investment in the ship #but I don't #bc pre-4.1 wriothesley is quite literally an NPC #and not once mentioned by neuvillette in the archon quest #give me ONE reason why I should be invested in that ship that isn't '2 attractive tall men... TOGETHER' #inb4 u ask why I think they are not close personally #it was said twice that neuvillette purposefully avoids forming personal relationships with the ppl of fontaine (no exceptions) #and also their respective voice lines about each other do not imply they are close personally in any way #the only non-professional connection they have is through sigewinne #bc neuvillette has a big soft spot for melusines and she works in the fortress of meropide as head nurse

[nativehueofresolution]

for me personally i kind of like the idea that the only time louis and daniel before now was the night of the original interview.

to me the interesting thing about their dynamic (and part of what makes it romantic) is the weird way you can confide in a stranger things you can't tell people who are actually a part of your life - like the contrast between this person not knowing you and all yet somehow you're telling them your darkest secrets, and they're seeing through your bullshit in a way people who know you don't (or maybe do but won't vocalize). and yeah it's a combination of chance and luck, but there's also a genuine connection that makes this stranger the one you choose to talk to out all the other strangers you come across.

and the idea that maybe that moment, that bond, could be so strong it could pick right up many decades later compels me. there's an intimacy to like, a past relationship, obviously, but i think there's also an intimacy that comes from knowing 'i only spoke to this person once but i never stopped thinking about them and maybe they never stopped thinking about me?' but you hooked up once or only had one conversation and you talk yourself down say be realistic because it was so brief and so long ago you, how could you not be blowing this out of proportion, but then you meet again and it hits you all over again like a ton of bricks.

#kaitlin speaks #i love eternal sunshine type plots so i get the appeal #but to me the appeal of that is like a story about how you can't take back intimacy #and no matter how many times you leave it's never going to change the way being there shaped you. #but to me d/l is like... the way your mind returns to someone you never got to be with #and the mixture of longing and like wondering if you're just romanticizing bc it didn't happen and ships in the night of it all #so all that to say i am open to whatever (bc tbh i do think there is some daniel memory plot line and in a lot of ways that's exciting) #but i actually think there's something special about the idea of their one night maybe being it and yet still impacting him so deeply #and if/when that element goes i'll miss it. i'm only this sappy about fiction i swear lol #their dynamic is like inverse of le/a where they have this connection and they hate it but also play it up and define themselves by it #but d/l they're in denial and don't want to admit their experience was as intense as it was #iwtv #danlou #this might only make sense to me lol

I was just thinking what a cool job this might be.. what if you were just the person who makes little still images of cute animal figurines doing various activities to post on social media...? like.. show up to work and just spend the whole day like "hmm... this table should be placed to the left a little.. let me set this miniature bagel down in this way... this tiny rabbit should be wearing a scarf", setting the backgrounds, the lighting, etc. ... dream job perhaps lol...

#I'm sure it probably doesnt pay much lol #but.. maybe in some ideal world.. #with my health and mental conditions and level of functioning there are VERY few Jobs I could actually EVER manage aside from #just being self employed and being able to set my own hours somehow etc... But every once in a while I come across something like this #and it's like... hrmm.... Yes... perhaps if I could align myself in this hyper specific scenario under hyper specific conditions in a #precise and predictable way and everything worked out perfectly and I had all the accomodations I might need.. maybe I could #do THAT thing then .. lol #Not just generally a 'social media manager' or something. I think that would drive me into the throes of madness #but SPECIFICALLY 'person who makes the images for the calico critters social media' and also #the place i have to go to do that is either my home or within walking distance of my home and also i rarely have to interact #with others aside from the posts probably going through some approval process and initial ideas where they tell me what #type of scene to make and also i somehow make $90.000 a year doing this for only 4 days a week with frequent sick breaks #dreamy sigh and so on and so forth and such and so on #ANYWAY........ #the idea of meticulously placing little pastries and miniature crayons and stuff around all day until the scene is perfectly crafted.. SO #SO so appealing to me... like designing environments in the sims except it's real and tangible.. And also imagine having access #to the FULL library of miniature items. to me that would be just as good as owning them #Like.. I get to use them and make little scenes with them and hold them and stare at them and everything except also #they're all kept at work so I don't have boxes of clutter filling home. #unlimited access to every little miniature food ever crafted yet none of the downsides (purchase cost and storage) #etc. etc. ANYWAY ... #Chuckling confidently as I add this onto the 'List Of ''Real'' Jobs I Could Do' which is just a notebook sheet of paper with only like 5 #other similarly unlikely hyperspecific scenarios scribbled down

Do you think Lawrence took up smoking after the bathroom trap?

#listen… chainshipping appeals to me in a very specific way #something something a part of him was left behind in that bathroom. was it it his humanity? was it his goodness? was it the man he knew for #only six hours? #I find Lawrence and Adam so interesting because it’s specifically the idea that these are two men who barely know each other. Adam know more #about Lawrence solely bc he was hired to follow him but he doesn’t KNOW him. #they definitely weren’t chatting during those six hours. and yet. #everything they felt together led to that final moment. where Lawrence crawls away from the exit so he can touch Adam #it’s this moment of raw humanity between two people who have been trying desperately to *ignore* their shared humanity #and it is something that haunts Lawrence. #I don’t think he lied to Adam. I think he meant to come back but he was bleeding out and delirious and most definitely passed out from the #pain #and I don’t think he ever forgets Adam #it is a love story. but in the way that a ghost story is #there is a love for what is not there #and so I ask: do you think Lawrence took up smoking after the saw trap? #to feel like he is even slightly closer to KNOWING what is not there? #anyway. I’m tipsy #saw #saw 2004 #lawrence gordon #dr lawrence gordon #adam stanheight #Adam Faulkner-stanheight #lawrence x adam #chainshipping #I’m gonna be real I find chainshipping wayyyyy more interesting when Adam stays dead
