he wants to show you his bird

#(if you do not pay respect to the bird you will be poisoned by wang and then gutted by ouyang) #help i have never drawn a horse before. I have been eagle-spotting extensively and yet somehow the horse looks better. #the part in the hunt where ouyang talks about how much esen loves his eagle is so endearing to me. #like. sweet boy. he just wants to hunt and go on campaign surrounded by many many sweaty men and hang out with his Beloved General. #why must you force Politics upon him. #she who became the sun #he who drowned the world #esen-temur #swbts #the radiant emperor #hwdtw #he is so. so. he. he HE #HIM.

“You do wanna fuck me,” Regulus insists in a grumble, the beginning of a pout pulling at his lips.  “But that isn’t the goal here, or what’s motivating my actions,” James retorts. “And you want to sleep with me too, so stop throwing it in my face like I’m the only one.” Regulus smiles, but it’s unamused. Icy. “I do,” he replies easily, letting his gaze fall down James’ body lazily before it comes back up. “I’m kinda curious if all that cockiness has something backing it up.” “Why don’t you come here and find out for yourself?” James taunts him with a cheeky grin.  The other man tries to hide it, he really does, but he’s too pale, and the soft pink dusting his cheeks is impossible to ignore.  “Propositioning to me, Potter?” Regulus sneers, leaning slightly over the table. “I wonder what Lily has to say about that.” What?

#rereading what i've written of ch 9 so far and this part was so funny to me #(they're literally arguing) #it's just #reg is always saying he doesn't care about james #that he doesn't like him even #outside of finding him physically attractive that is #but he hears that lily has a soft spot for him #and suddenly he's making assumptions🤔 #and getting petty over them🤔 #like believe me lily and james aren't together #but so what if they were huh regulus #why does it matter #why do YOU care #he's so silly #they both are #i love the pining arc #fic: making ghosts

how to flex your muscles when your bandmate asks you for help without making it obvious

#xdinary heroes #gunil #jun han #goo gunil #han hyeongjun #i hope the how to flex when [thing] without making it obvious guy is common knowledge #i think about him very often #especially when it comes to gunil and ode #ugh coloring this gifset felt like... idk #retouching a photo from the 1800s or stuff #it was very.... colorless #choices were made in post production. not good ones tho #they probably tried to cover up the speck on the camera lens #also i had already all subs and texts and stuff removed #but then the gifs had like 10 thick blurred spots so yeah no #but ugh i loved this video #and i was looking forward to watching part 2 (yep i'm catching up with old videos again) #and then part 2 was.... not as much fun as part 1 #ok but also the reason why i decided to gif this moment #gunil may try to be like 💪 but he's so babygirl!!!! #if you have seen this post before.... no you haven't ♥ #(i had this post in my queue and wanted to check it again on mobile and then i hit post on accident 😫😫😫)

As a fellow Dovewing lover, it's frustrating how the fandom watered her down into a whiny brat who never cared about Ivypool. I mean, seriously? Not only did Dovewing care about her sister (reacting in horror when Lionblaze, her own mentor and Jayfeather are willing to potentially sacrifice Ivypool's safety by employing her as her spy instead of trying to get her out of the Dark Forest's clutches, hiding a thorn in her nest to cover for her scarring from her training).

Heck, even the scene where she tries to feed Ivypool her catch during a hunting patrol was demonized because 'she was trying to make Ivypool break the code like SHE does, as if it doesn't matter' and because she got upset when Ivypool started arguing with her! But you guys said she didn't care, right? Plus, people act like being forced into a prophecy is something you should be grateful for, as if it didn't irreparably change her close relationship with her sister? As if Lionblaze and Jayfeather didn't still keep her out of the loop (and for all the fussing they made about keeping it a secret, Lionblaze confesses his power to Cinderheart and Jayfeather doesn't even care).

Meanwhile Nightheart is angry he isn't orange and hates his mom for being exiled and the whole world has to stop for him. 🤪 And Bramblestar is simply so tortured by having an evil father, the only choice is to train with him and his evil half-brother and hide this from his wife! (But remember, it's bad when that witch Squirrelflight hides the parentage of the three from him, even when Blackstar and Leopardstar were still around after being complicit in the torture and killing of halfclan cats.) Why are these male characters sympathized with, even when they actively harm people (Nightheart forcing himself into Sunbeam's life by lying to everyone about being her mate without even asking her if she would be fine with that beforehand), Bramblestar (we all know what he does), but when Dovewing or any other female character is upset, people freak out and call them whiny brats or abusive for (checks notes) asking her partner if he loves her anymore after they argued multiple times in a book. Really makes you think! (Sorry this is so long, you just have based opinions!)

dovewing being characterized as this flighty airheaded vain popular girl stereotype in fanon is like. one of those biggest "we didnt actually read the books" things in the fandom. like theres so much fanart where shes grinning and giggling over the prophecy and shes besties with the trio and shes got preferential treatment, and then in the actual books shes basically the autistic kid no one actually likes. people really, REALLY overexaggerate that one scene where she snaps at ivypaw and brags. (and i dont wanna shit on amvs but i am forever side eying how the animation community handled dove back in the day. more than one person animated her getting murdered. normal.)

i do think its gotten better recently at least. but wow does it feel like at least one person on the writing team has a bone to pick

(also awww thank you <3 no need to be sorry i love getting stuff in my inbox)

#it does also feel so insidious to me just how long the bramblesquirrel conflict was painted as ''equally kind of wrong'' #the ppl who put words in squilfs mouth sometimes which. btw ill get to that when i read the book #and tbf part of it is that sometimes abuse isnt as easy to spot if youre primed to the mainstream version of it #like. bramble isnt a born evil wifebeater everyone can see coming from a mile away. hes a complex guy with his own insecurities #and his own goals and people he openly cares about. and even in some fanon stuff i see ppl kinda erase that part of him #(which i wont pretend im above- ive been trying to walk that line myself) #and that doesnt match how abusers are usually percieved by the public. or in this very series. #like. the main excuse for clear sky is literally ''hes sad his sister died and tried to save her! no one changes THAT much'' #anyone can be an abuser. you could be an abuser. i could be an abuser. that doesnt mean that we ARE but we are capable of it #and the thing that catches ppl off guard is that abusers are really good at hiding who they are and theyre often charming #i often hear this account of abuse that goes something like ''my parent abused me but no one believed me bc theyre nice in public'' #you dont know whats going on behind closed doors. and ik this is about funny kitties at the end of the day but its quite telling #so... yeah bramble has his nice moments. hes got his GREAT moments even. i love his relationship with his mom for example #but those moments dont mean that hes not capable of being worse. of being a monster to his loved ones #its why squilf keeps getting sucked back in. hes not a one dimensional asshole. hes capable of being kind to her. #and thats what makes his disgusting moments hit so much harder #wow ok i got off topic in the tags but yknow. idk i got feelings abt this matter as someone who's experienced toxic relationships

do you understand what I'm sayinggggg

#just thinking thoughts... #guy comparing two totally different pages from two totally different mangas and insisting they're the same thing #you know. the 'how do I persevere when I'm obviously missing something' jig #the 'how come I'm so isolated from my peers (I know exactly why I'm so isolated from my peers (there is something wrong with me))' #bro they don't think they can be saved... they are saved anyways... #and I KNOW this shot from bm is from prologue 1. and this shot of juli is literally at the end of the heart of thomas #but like timelinewise. it's the same spot. this is right before both of them 'get their wings' #I'm shaking you. I'm shaking you. I'm literally telling you. #the narrative parallels are there. #like literally... juli has this moment and then erich comes in and there's literally a shot of erich WITH WINGS. #telling him to go see oscar. #and it's after oscar forgives him that he understands the love of god #in birdmen it's condensed down into one encounter with takayama #who fulfills both erich's part (giving karasuma wings) and oscar's part (jesus figure) #heart of thomas was SO crazy btw like she was ON that jesus and judas love shit like WAY back #move aside nuyuri...here's the REAL mvp #stray bird thoughts #dare I maintag this #birdmen #the heart of thomas #I'm literally telling you. it's like 6 AM rn and I woke up earlier and the DVD logo was just slowly bouncing in my brain #when I suddenly had this revelation and it was so crazy I had to pull myself out of bed and start birdblogging

I'm going to lose my fucking mind

#For context: I was going to make a post complaining about how lesbians don't have enough good musical theater duets #(like we have the love songs from 'The Color Purple' which're alright but doesn't match the passion or desperation present in the book imo #'Changing My Major' which is a great love song but doesn't hit that sweet duet spot #'Dance With You' and the last verse of 'You Happened' from The Prom are sweet but the girls barely get to actually sing about each other #Honestly 'Oh Well' from Love In Hate Nation comes closest to what I want but it ends on a bittersweet note unless you see the show live #If only Elphaba and Glinda were canon... #But anyway. I can't believe that there's an adaptation of The Color Purple coming in the year of our lord 2023 and this is #how they're talking about Shug Avery. Her *role model*. Lock up your *husbands*. Ick. Pfaff. #I mean they're going to be gay. You can't get around that. But Shug is the love of her life. Can we please talk about that in the character #Don't mind me I'm just over here overreacting #From what I've read one of the biggest adaptational changes in the musical is her reaction to Shug's affair. #Like in the book Shug is the one light in her life. I sobbed myself to sleep over her nosedive in self-worth when they took a break #In the musical she's just...fine with it? I get why that's more satisfying emotionally but I still think it undermines their relationship #I don't get the curse thing either. I'm a little fuzzier on this part but in the book doesn't she just leave him and she's able to thrive? #Then when he asks her to get back together she's able to just know that the worst with Shug or alone is better than the best with him? #This book man. I hate that there isn't an adaptation as devoted to the Celie/Shug relationship as the book is. #Hate that the only recommendation I've seen calling it a sapphic book was from someone who thought that Celie's letters were to her lover #I remember watching this steamy adaptation of a Shakespeare play in soph Eng and seething because they only kiss once in the 1985 movie #Ig I can't expect too much from 1985 but...it was in the book! It was one of the most important parts! They don't even live together in it! #This was all to say I wast a lesbian 'Green Green Dress' a lesbian 'Home' a lesbian 'Natasha & Anatole' a lesbian Legally Blonde finale #The list goes on #I'm sure The Color Purple (2023) will be a good adaptation and movie. I will not pop blood vessels while watching it. #Maybe I should just avoid press releases and the movie will surprise me in a good way.

on one hand, I still don't love the "Crowley is Raphael" idea, because I feel like it's more impactful for him to be an important angel, but like, not on the Highest Levels Of Them, like Ariel (Earth's great Lord in Heywood, a name "both of angel and a demon", association to early pagan religions where children and livestock were sacrificed by immolation, reference to s2e2) or Kokabiel (the angel of Stars, fallen angel, the burning light, teacher of astrology).

I would, however, accept it on one big condition: it's heavily implied he's Raphael, but every time someone tries to address him as such there's a blaring NOISE going off. because Gd said "no" to deadnaming, because Crowley would rather have a name that came out of a nickname that turned into a soft love word, than something that was ASSIGNED to him in Heaven.

#Crowley is a trans name don't @ me #Good Omens S2 #Good Omens Season 2 #GO S2 #Good Omens #text post #Varya rambles #Good Omens S2 spoilers #Good Omens Season 2 spoilers #GO Crowley #also the only thing I'm stepping my foot down is that he's NOT Barachiel #bc why would a fallen angel. a demon. be in the CURRENT ANGELS book. and it being Crowley #I personally remember a lot about how people used Barachiel for angel!Beelzebub and thought this was a nod from a prop artist so #have a soft spot for 'Crowley is Ariel' because of how me and Alex have been talking about him and his legacy in '19 #and also because the little mermaid parallels of him sacrificing so much for love 🥺😭 #i also like the Kokabiel one at least in part because he's supposed to be of Raphael's host as well and to be one of makers of the stars

I love how from the get-go Soma said "don't bother" to Seiroku's attempt at implying he knows what it's like to be in their position bc neither of them are buying That one, yet he didn't have a single issue with Seiroku pouring him sake. He even raised his cup to make it easier for Seiroku to fill it

#muse: date soma. #Soma was so nice about it too? Just politely stopped Seiroku from wasting his breath from saying things no one will believe anyway #And it's obvious he didn't mean 'don't bother' in any other sense bc he willingly raised his cup for the sake. so it's ONLY @ the charade #This was such a cute detail... his soft spot for Seiroku rears its head once more #Also the fact that he trusts Seiroku to not poison him??? when clearly Seiroku /could've/ bc only he really knew what was in that sake #I might write a meta on this from the SSCU (Soma/Sei Cinematic Universe) perspective once I'm freer #bc this part makes most sense w my and Britt's dynamic in mind.... atp Ohtaka might just be yoinking it from us AHDASDSJS #LIKE I'm sat here trying to find a reason why Soma would ever accept to drink from an enemy he just met. #Tsubasa I can understand bc from the looks of it she's in the same boat as Tatsuomi/Naotora w the illusions from the ideal worlds #but Soma is just fine so What reason did he have to get all buddy buddy with Seiroku on a first meeting. /as enemies/ #canonly Soma has no way of telling if it was Seiroku or another dog who attacked the Date either so again. WHY be this trusting of him #Not complaining tho. I'm definitely amused (/pos) by this development; SO true Ohtaka <3 #What's funnier is that Tatsuomi didn't even manage to realize Soma's being 🏳️‍🌈 bc Soma tore into him way too fast for that #Ngl I loved this part bc it shows just how polite Soma is at the end of the day if the person hasn't pissed him off #Tatsuomi Naotora and Tsubasa were the feral ones whereas Soma and Shishikado were Calm

just noticed marik’s ceremonial duel outfit has the winged sun that’s carved into his back at the top of his jacket. don’t look at me i’m havign a moemnt

#SOBS INTO MY HANDS AAAAAAA #hurts. :( #i don’t know why it hurts but it does #something something the whole ritual being about carrying the pharaoh’s secrets… #resenting the fact he was put through it for so long before maybe accepting that it’s just a part of him now… #displaying that it was a thing he went through and a thing he overcame… ashdjdcdjfcfk SOBS #i knew about the lil badge or emblem or whatever on the front but #never noticed the back :(( #love that part of it a lot…. #delete later #warmshipping #on another note that makes me less likely to cry he is. so pretty i am reminded that every time i look at him #i might be reading into this too much lol it could just be a thing #but it feels a bit too coincidental that it’s in the same exact spot… #anyway. i’m being normal. not crying at all over a fictional man again

Annette Andre and her enormous eyes once again cross paths with Simon Templar, as Annette, who works "on the newspaper" in The Saint: To Kill a Saint (5.19, ITC, 1967)

#fave spotting #annette andre #randall and hopkirk (deceased) #randall and hopkirk #the saint #to kill a saint #itc #1967 #jeannie hopkirk #actually Annette had already made 3 prior Saint eps‚ only one of which i gave her a fave spotting for (3.6) #not sure why i didnt with the others. perhaps her eyes were not significantly large and doleful (not to go on about it but she does have #remarkable eyes). here she... works on a newspaper. that's all we find out (is she a journalist? a copy writer? an editor? a type setter?) #and even that might not be true. she starts the episode by firing blanks at Simon in an attempt to enrage him and drive him to murder Peter #Dyneley (himself a repeat offender in Saintland‚ making his third and final appearance here). he killed Annette's father during a bank #robbery... or so she says. weirdly the episode is markedly sympathetic to him‚ presenting him as a basically decent man who loves his wife #and maybe works a little too hard. that his work is apparently bank robbing is never really gone into. actually the whole thing feels like #it needs digging into deeper‚ not least bc the ending kind of implies Annette was in with the bad guy... something Simon apparently doesn't #notice. after she shoots at him he tails her to a derelict building where she evades him laughing. at the end of the episode the real bad #guy (remember Dyneley is weirdly positively represented here) takes Simon to the same derelict building to execute him #'i wondered how this place fit in' says Simon which only seems to suggest that Annette is part of the frame up and working with real #bad guy... but nothing more is said and Simon happily reunites with her once Dyneley has saved his life (weird!!) and the adventure is over #so is she part of the plotting?? does he just not care???? what's going on Saint crew??

i think i would have gone loco if jo and aoki got to meet up just once after ichi breaks through to him like. the damage to my psyche id have wouldve been immeasurable, irreparable even

ugh i know it was just a dream but I'm thinking a lot about this couple from my dream 🥺

#there was a lot going on and different themes of the dream that were interesting on their own #but lol i had met the gf and like. he'd been pouring wine on himself and she'd go lick it off him but they've been doing it enough #that they were both very wine drunk. and the girl let me have her room bc she had 3 and gave me the biggest #and the bf picked ME up and was swinging me around under his arm while we were drunk scream singing some love song together #and it was capping off a really cute adventure day that ended w me n a group of new friends rly gotten to know each other #with a disappointing beach day and me saying we should go to California and I'll show us around to a bunch of diff spots #and give us a great beach day and idk. it was rly fun being social. it was nice to be accepted and understood by everyone. #it was wonderful being a part of a literal crowd of people where everyone was their authentic selves. now that I'm awake and recalling it #idk why this feels so hard and out of reach? but uh I'm not gonna focus toooo much on it I'm just gonna have a good day and #carry this little joy with me (⁠/⁠^⁠-⁠^⁠(⁠^⁠ ⁠^⁠*⁠)⁠/

what did you think of p5?

oh i can tell you werent following me when i watched it in 2020 because i would not stop SHITTING on it lol. its actually what made me lose interest in jojo for like 2 years until i read stocean this year 😭

#i think… its genuinely the worst jojo part 😭 i understand why some people like it because some of the characters are charming #like i like mista and LOVE fugo. but i feel like out of any jojo part it had like the MOST wasted potential #like nothing was explored properly i think. not the interesting characters or themes. even someone like bruno who i like and who got a lot #of spot light could have been explored better i think. and its was just so…. unpleasant. and dragged on. like the pacing was bad #and because we didnt really get to know most of the characters OR their relationships in depth the cast couldnt really carry it either. and #also i think most of the villains were very weak #giornos a really interesting character on paper but i think he suffered the most from not being explored properly. i like him but hes #a little bit……. boring? in the actual story 😭 its so sad because again hes soooooooo good on paper #jojo
