“What is wrong with you?”

First animated crush was literally pollution that was voiced by Tim Curry.

See now, in countless terrifying hues…

I am but a simple thing with the simple need to draw Jonathan Sims with long flowing hair and in dresses. Not really sure why I opted for the yellow, but I was worried the Magnus green might muddy the colours too much. It’s still a little blurry, but I’m a sucker for the result. God he gives me such brainrot I CANT

for no reason at aaaaall, cutest attribute a doll can have/thing a doll can do?

—🧷／(≧ ᆺ ≦)＼

Sorry for the long delay:

As usual it depends amongst us and sometimes with our mood but, general we work the most often with combat dolls, but dolls in general that eagerness for tasks or to be helpful or supportive are all very adorable. Director: my favorite attribute comes a lot from combat dolls and my personal doll who's a medical research doll, the quiet devotion to their purpose and their task, and the often fanatically way they carry out their orders from their wielder are very endearing to me.

Engineer: Shes a fan of the kinda curious energy some dolls tend to have, she likes dolls who know thier place but are a bit friendlier then they probably should be for example.

Dollmaker: well this ones complicated, because his favorite things in a doll tend to come from before their a doll, there things he likes in a potential doll. He likes his dolls to make him work for it a bit, then he finds it adorable when they love being customized or updated after.

truly nothing worse than having beef with somebody whose fucking name keeps cropping up on papers you're supposed to read

#if I have to see this one individual's name oNE MORE GODDAMN TIME #bad enough they keep showing up in my fucking email inbox #I have two nemeses at this fucking institution and only one of them actually sends me emails unprompted (via listserv) #the other one at least ignores me when at all possible #also I don't have beef with that one for ideological reasons. just interpersonal ones. #the other person is bOTH #horrid #anyway I have derailed my reading for the evening on accident so I should go have some ice cream and then climb into bed and read. #am I gonna do that? debatable #megs vs mlis #I have less petty and more genuine frustrations tonight but we don't have to be like. serious about it. memes only

[watchingyoufromthestars]

Dndads fans who’ve listened to tma does anyone have any ideas on who I could parallel for my last three fears? I’m setting up all the entity marks and I’m still missing Vast, Flesh, and Dark. I’m considering Barry as a Flesh avatar but I also want to put him in Willy’s (Elias) inner circle along with Bill (Peter). Can be literally any character even NPCs we met for only one episode. The only off limits ones are the s2 teens including Hermie. Their roles are super set in stone.

#driving me crazy trying to figure out vast and dark #I might just go with Barry but I’m not sure how him meeting Scary would work #maybe it’s just straight up the same as sending Jared to attack the institute and Willy didn’t care if he lost an ally in the process #which happens when he gets sent into the Spiral #abramz archives au #dndads #dungeons and daddies #tma #the magnus archives

Sending My Love From the Other Side

Things we should discuss:

Pete’s sexy metal Viking princess unitard, he’s waiting to be rescued by a barbarian, I can only presume he is a bride-prize for the hero who can save him

The Folie-ness of it all, the ship at sea but not doomed, not this time; instead it is a vessel of hope

The mythology-of-the-band frame narrative

How the title references back to Sending Postcards from a Plane Crash

Stardust stardust stardust and Pete’s fear of space objects

What do Field of Dreams and The Princess Bride have in common?

For those expressing concern about Joe’s absence both on Sunday and in this video—he writes in his recent book, None of This Rocks, about emergency back problems during the latter end of this pandemic, compromising his ability to walk for a brief post-surgical time, exacerbated by overworking. He writes about learning boundaries, learning to rest, and asking his band for accommodations for his health. It seems likeliest that he’s recovering from a back-related issue, rather than conscientiously abstaining from participating in this record as he describes doing with MANIA.

General ranting about lyrics:

DISCLAIMER: It’s not me, okay, it’s the text, it’s Pete being incapable of writing anything that doesn’t sound like it’s about forbidden queer love, I could not make this shit up, I truly could not

“Model house meltdown”

Reminds me of walking through the house in your shoes, I’m supposed to love you; reminds me of I’m just playing house, no idea what I’m doing now. It’s a very dark Tim Burton-y sentiment from an outwardly happy man living a domestic fairy tale.

“We were a hammer to the Statue of David, we were a painting you could never frame, and you were the sunshine of my lifetime.”

THE PAST-TENSENESS HERE

Right from the start, this sets us up for something universally perceived as perfect and beloved being destroyed. This could be a reputation, a cultural relic, a profound piece of history, a narrative, a love. We were a hammer that destroyed it, that perceived thing… 

We were a painting too profane to be displayed in a museum, hidden and damned? Or we were larger than life, uncontent to be contained by a frame, always in motion, chimeric and twining, together apart, together apart, a tesselated image you can only see if you zoom out and unfocus your eyes.

You have all read my opinions about twenty years of Patrick = sunshine metaphors, which seem to be getting pretty FUCKING literal here at the end of days.

“Nowhere left for us to go but heaven, summer falling through our fingers again”

Among other things, this seems to be a VERY explicit reference to Heaven’s Gate.

I am feeling the hope of MANIA (you know my manic poly dream reading of that beautiful, purple beacon of hope) replaced by what the pandemic / apocalypse did to us all. So much for stardust, indeed.

Summer symbolizing touring, festival circuits, linking to the recent FOB instagram post that showed video from the Hella Mega Tour with the caption “take us back here.” The liminality and fleeting-ness of those spaces, those selves, that unmoored time of doing nothing, being everything. The way they want to be home when they’re on the road and the way they want to be on the road when they’re at home. Summer slipping through our fingers again, like the sand in the bottom half of the hourglass, gone past, gone past.

“What would you trade the pain for? I’m not sure”

Isn’t that a fucking question, my friends!!! The pain of longing, unsatisfied, love, unrequited or unconsummated, forbidden and forsaken? The pain of not-having, or of having-had? The pain it was to be together? Welcome to my glossary of suffering

And what would you trade it for? Is this a question of, what is it worth and I can’t imagine giving it up? Or is it a past-tense question—a way of saying, I traded that exquisite pain to get what I have now, and I’m not sure what it was for, I’m not sure if it was worth it.

“Every lover’s got a little dagger in their hand”

Tbh someone smarter than me will have more to say about this, I am sure. Tarot and betrayal and the way love has thorns and anything worth having always hurts, everyone you trust with love will hurt you and let you down at least a little bit, imperfections and prices paid. But it’s also a very classic, very catchy and poetically deep sounding chorus of the type FOB loves to use and do not always hold a deep reading. 

“I saw you in a bright clear field, hurricane heat in my head.”

More field-of-dreams invocation and playfulness! If there is not a stadium show at that field, I am going to light something on fire, it is the only pilgrimage I care about from this day forward.

“Inscribed like stone and faded by the rain: Give up what you love before it does you in”

LITERALLY what can I even SAY about this and the past tense and the DECISION, the question popped by MANIA that was answered only by global cataclysm and forced separation, the way they began work on this album in early 2021 (per Joe’s book). I can only hear this in conversation with the tracks on that record.

“The kind of pain you feel to get good in the end”

I was all prepared to do some read about morality and queerness and what you give up for the people you love, until @carbonbased000 said, “I love the pain line and I want to give it a kinky read so badly but we both know it’s about tennis”, and you know what. She’s right.

To summarize: there’s a lot to say, there’s a lot to feel, I love this song immensely and I hope you do too. I hope to explode more thoughts soon and uhhh maybe write another fairy tale. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK, EVERYONE!

my brain is not on so i hope this makes sense but forced institutionalization of all kinds will never be leftist and it will always do harm like i know yall cryptolibs that get all your knowledge of leftism from memes and think you dont need to read any theory think some forms of institutionalization are ok but like. no they are not. the answer will always be compassion and rectifying the symptoms of society that, by current laws, forces someone into institutionalization in the first place. yes this includes psychiatric institutionalization. psych wards and institutions do very little to treat people, and in a lot of cases actually make them worse. youve never experienced psychiatric abuse and it fucking shows. have a nice day.

#my brain is on 3% i hope this made sense #a lot of yall wanna abolish prisons and no other form of institutionalization. its not very hello kitty says acab of you bestie. #it just. it makes me so fucking upset!!!! #because when i was a kid the solution was just ''oh send her to the psych ward thatll fix her'' #and then when i leave the psych ward im put right back in the same abusive household that made me suicidal in the first place #nothing changed #im so fucking done with people who think theyre lefty still advocating for forced institutionalization #it doesnt do fucking anything #its giving the same vibe as the paradox of tolerance if that makes sense #im still trying to process the abuse ive gone through in institutions. if you think it helps anyone youre fucking stupid. sorry not sorry.

magnus au……. let me in……………..

begging u to speak on it as well :0 you made the fear assignments n all that but what does it really entail for the au itself…. what IS the au……. eheh

rolls up sleeves. oh boy do i have Ideas

clover has lived in the apocalypse for far too long. they had begun their journey to the mountain they had heard five children had died at right before it began. theyre scared, they’re alone, and all they want is justice. for themselves? for all the people they see suffering? they don’t know. all they know is the feeling of death crawling up their back and the sensation of something Watching them.

they continue to run away from everything. continue to hide from the monsters and amalgamations of fear that have overtaken everything they used to know (saying everything they used to love would be… a little bit of a stretch for them.)

then they get to mt ebott. that feeling of Death only grows. they have a feeling they won’t survive this fall, or whatever awaits them down there, but it’s easier than dealing with what is happening on the surface.

so, they jump. and they bring the same mentality with them that they had on the surface to the underground: kill or be killed

tldr: clover goes to the underground during the eyepocalypse. The Horrors ensue. in part to them (aren’t clover’s supposed to be a symbol of luck or something? doesn’t seem like it for them)

#i was literally thinking about this au all day and i’m pretty happy with this idea #gives me a reason why there is no magnus institute parallel at least #ALSO FEEL FREE TO SEND ME ANY QUESTJONS ABOUT IT OR POST ABOUT YOUR IDEAS ID LOVE TO SEE THEM :3 #undertale yellow #tma x uty au #ask/answer #🌙

I feel like I need to make a little rundown of everything UNIT and Kate Stewart has done since being re-introduced in s7, but I also want to finish watching classic!who so I can make that comparison more effectively. certainly in pertwee-era of doctor who there was some critique and analysis of UNIT's methods as a military group and that the doctor kind of had to work with them to begin with because he didn't have a working tardis (+ already knew the brigadier and UNIT from troughton-era)

liz shaw and jo grant both start with UNIT and both leave UNIT, partially after narratives where they're at odds with what the institution represents and how easy it is for it to abuse power and/or simply make bad choices to begin with (liz taking the doctor's side several times and eventually quitting, although with that slightly lazy--pseudo-feminist "she didn't want to fetch the teas" explanation given post-leaving when there was definitely a lot more going on for her than that, but I think that was the way the actress was feeling so I can see the meta reasonings in it, and jo figuring out that she believes in different ways of protecting the earth joining a radical group and yeah ok straight up getting engaged to that welsh guy after two days, but she was considering leaving before then anyway), and sarah-jane just enters spaces and acts like she belongs there and nobody knows how to tell her to leave, but she's frequently not on UNIT's side so much as the side of Truth (I say, we now enter fourth doctor era so we'll see)

but yeah, the brigadier was there from the beginning, and there's yates and whatshisface, so there's the humanising faces depicting UNIT as essentially for good from the get-go, despite episodes where they're definitely antagonists. but then reintroduced in nu!who s4 as... not quite comfortable to the doctor/partly as that season's narrative of how the doctor affects their companions for worse and inspires them to become soldiers. so they're not the bad guys in the same way torchwood of s2 were, but they aren't comfortable allies either

so now I'm on s9 and... dunno. they're not quite what they were at the beginning, and they're not what they were in s4. more than anything they feel like a get-out-of-jail free card for whatever writer needs to do something that would be easier to solve with a big handy institution with guns, but don't want to analyse the idea of a big handy institution with guns, so we're told that UNIT is "good" but I keep waiting for someone -- osgood and/or bingham -- to become that next liz shaw, and for kate stewart to be confirmed an antagonist based on said rundown I haven't made of her actions, which at best are often ineffectual and at worst some near-villain shit

rtd in the new specials continues writing UNIT the way it has been since s7 -- the same issues and questions about it are at the forefront, with a couple of new ones thrown in (an institution that's very diverse does not make it any less a paramilitary institution and in fact makes one highly suspicious of its propaganda campaign), but I hope he remembers some of the ways they caused problems during three's era, or the way his own original run at least complicated the doctor's feelings about them and I hope he ends up reintroducing those complications with fifteen but x 1000

and. kate stewart needs to become an antagonist. in my opinion. she'd make a very good antagonist, considering how much history there is between her and the doctor. that's another post though, but I want to make a list of every time KS has tried to deal with a situation with extra-judicial violence, because it is practically every episode she's in (if not every episode she's in)

I can buy the doctor feeling some kinda way, because UNIT was the brigadier, was liz, was jo, was yates and whatshisface (sorry I have forgotten his name), was a time where they were stuck and in need of help and UNIT did help them, and then it was also martha and now mel... the doctor built real personal connections with UNIT, but as a structure it is hiiiighly dubious At Best and fully just no-good the majority of the time

#i also dont remember what happens to osgood #we'll see! #i dont like the doctor being president of the world in this season #and i don't like how easily he works with UNIT sending out troops in this double-episode although he does suggest other ways #it's the part of nu!who that loses me -- when it moves away from People and focuses on the pov of institutional powers #but it can at aaany point choose to pivot again so it's not like it's The Dealbreaker #it's just that i am sat here waiting for the pivot #me doing that scene from friends: PIVOOOOT!!!! PIVOTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!! #im watching nu!who #im watching capaldi who #the measurement #oh goooosh UNIT also just straight-up GAVE martha the osterhagen key just fuckn #they did that to martha -- doctor! i dont like'em kick'em to the cuuurb #doctor who meta

I've reached season 2 of my second listen of Magnus Archives.

I'm not ready for it. I'm not ready for paranoid stalker Jon and Tim being angry and sad, but I'm still going to listen. Why? Because I am WEAK for Jon and love to feel PAIN.
