//Trying to get my mind off some pretty heavy stuff, so... toss me a like and I'll try to quick-doodle your muse in my Duckverse style. Add a comment if you have a particular species in mind or to tell me which muse to do if you're a multimuse.
you know those horribly drawn-out scenes in war movies where a soldier is dragging a fellow comrade's body to safety not realizing he's already dead? that's what cicero's doing with the republic
more ineffable streamers ideas: Crowley reads erotic RPF about himself and Aziraphale on stream and has to hide the fact that it’s turning him on. bonus if Aziraphale bumbles in at the worst possible moment.
Crowley: “Crowley licked a fat stripe up Aziraphale’s co—“

bro this was the first thing i read when i woke up this morning and i haven’t stopped thinking about it 12hrs later
the barbie movie was obviously brilliant, but the moment that stood out to me the most was that raw pain and anger and grief in america’s voice as she gave her speech on how women are expected to be perfect. the dead silence in the background, the way the shot went from her to her wide-eyed daughter to the tired and increasingly horrified barbies. that moment sticks out to me the most because of how much i am sure america and those other women were not acting, dropping the façades of their roles and tapping into that exhaustion and pain that everyone, especially women, under the patriarchy has. it was raw and beautiful and so so so needed greta gerwig the woman you are
There's like a 90% chance this will not make sense to anyone else but let me indulge in a little autistic crackposting abt Fall Out Boy for a second
I genuinely love the use of violins/classical instruments in Folie and the way it contrasts with their use in SMFS. Like in Folie, their inclusion gives it a sense of discordance, almost desperation. "I am ripping everything apart and trying everything in my power to get through to you, to get my head above water, to scream for help. This is so far out of left field but I don't feel like I have any other options left." But in SMFS, they almost feel like they're doing the exact opposite. "I am staring down at the pieces of the mess I've made and gingerly sewing it back together. I'm trying to soothe the chaos and rawness and show you that even when things seem so far gone, they can always be reeled in and thrown a life raft." It's just. Idk. Something about the musical similarities being used to create polar opposite emotional states gets me. "I was not ok, and expressing that in the only way I knew how, but I can take that and put myself back together again in the same way I tore myself apart."
if we get the tharn screaming over phaya's body scene this week i need you all to know that nothing, absolutely nothing, not wild dogs nor natural disasters, will keep me from doing a character study of that moment from tharn's pov and i'm so, so sorry in advance
edit: wow ok I didn't think more than 2 people would read this but I guess lmk if you want me to tag you if/when this happens?
i could talk all day about orihime's relationship with violence and still never tire of it. what do you do when you're 12 and your brother dies and he turns into a monster because you didn't grieve him right. he's not the best example for how to use violence correctly, so you look to your crush, who is kind and honorable and as touched by grief as you are, except guess what! he turns into a monster too! so the natural conclusion is that you give up on trying to fight at all because you're a pacifist and it's chill, people in real life are pacifists and it's an okay thing to be EXCEPT. you're a virgo and a perfectionist and being a perfectionist in a shonen means you've got to be Strong and you don't know how to do that because you've always been weak, your best friend and first protector is literally the strongest girl in japan, you've always been in the shadow of people who can just do things effortlessly while you've got to try and fail before you get anything right. also a part of you doesn't WANT to be strong because most displays of strength you've seen have cost the user their Heart, and you don't want to lose yours – you've been on the receiving end of that display way too much, but a part of you dies every time someone you love gets hurt, so you know your place is on the battlefield, you just don't know where. you don't know how. and you try your best to do what you can with it and you succeed because you're good, orihime, you. are. good.
