family portrait :D young sam and sybil are behaving themselves and vimes is throwing a hissy fit because they tried to make him wear the helmet

[id: a digital painting of three people sitting for a portrait in a domestic interior. young sam is standing with his hands behind his back and beaming proudly. vimes is standing behind him with his hand on his shoulder, wearing a shiny military uniform and a surly expression. sybil is sitting on the right with an arm around young sam, smiling at the viewer. a plumed helmet is sitting on a table on the left. end id.]

#discworld #sam vimes #sybil ramkin #young sam vimes #artwork #discworld is inspiring me so much at the moment ive got it on the brain #vimes wore the helmet for 3 seconds and then took it off and refused to comb his helmet hair which is why he looks like that #also idk where the idea of sybil wearing wigs came from (i havent read all the books yet so i am not sure if it’s canon or headcanon) but i #am so besotted with that idea so assume sybil is bewigged any time i draw her #thats why she has no grey hairs here. i imagine her having very short wispy hair underneath #i literally love her so much ive been thinking about her for days she means the world 2 me #this is the first time ive drawn either her or young sam and im so happy with how they came out thats exactly how i picture them in my head #ive drawn vimes once before but i can usually get him close to my Brain Picture without too much difficulty #i just think Grumpy Bastard (affectionate) and there he is #also happy end of the year my friends! may 2024 bring you all the things you desire i love you

BREAKING NEWS!!! Local idiot ghost absolutely blown away when boyfriend gives him a nickname for the first time, more info after this broadcast.

Bonus pet-name edition:

(Yeah I know it's ooc for grovyle to EVER use the term "babe" but lets go ahead and assume he's done it accidentally a few times rather than intentionally. He's deeply in love with the dumb ghostman, ok. Sometimes it just slips out.)

Dusknoir is still recovering from hearing it. And when he finally calls grovyle "love" himself on accident a few days later, he falls deathly ill for two weeks cause his body couldn't handle the aftermath and started rapidly shutting down on a molecular level.

#dusknoir he is dying pls for the love of god just give him the heal seed already #i headcanon that grovyle starts to call dusknoir just “noir” simply because it's less effort but dusknoir is legitimately touched by it #he's never had a nickname before so he cried happy tears for only 2 hours after this interaction #celebi thinks noir's drama over the entire thing is very funny so she starts calling him “beloved” even more and he has a meltdown #and dusknoir being a literal functional storage unit is my favorite thing he is so good at HOLDING stuff for his BF and GF #he carries water bottles and snacks for them like a total mom when they go exploring #(he got the habit after hanging out w/ echo and sora. those are his kids so of course he's gonna have treats!!!) #what's in the void you ask??? who knows probably a pocket universe or the elusive pmd2 remake #i had way too much fun drawing this is it obvious? #and i really like the new brush i've been using lately so i'm happy #also first comic i put decent effort into!!!! yay #actaeonshipping #future trio #dusknoir #grovyle #celebi #pmd #pmd2 #pmd eos #explorers of sky #my art #tw blood

devotion as a chest wound

#she was literally wearing her heart on her sleeve she was SO READY im gonna kms #no cause the way they've been devoted to aziraphale since their fall like az was actually their very purpose since he knew anything at all #he wanted to talk to aziraphale and protect him and make him laugh and the fact that aziraphale rejected her hurt so much more when u #consider the fact that he's been hoping for thousands of years and aziraphale rejecting him and leaving for heaven means he'll no longer #have the person he devoted his existence to and he'll have to just make his way in the world without aziraphale which yes obviously #they've been doing but also they always knew aziraphale was somewhere in reach and now HE NO LONGER HAS THAT and his devotion will just rot #away in his chest or it'll choke him and the fact is she really thinks aziraphale just doesn't love her. bc they dont fucking communicate #and what crowley thought was aziraphale's way of saying he always wanted him when he was an angel more and not aziraphale in his eyes fm #finding a way for them to be together safely. like it's actually insane how much miscommunication is between them and i honestly dont know #what crowley will do next season and where he'll be emotionally #good omens #azicrow #good omens s2 #aziracrow #good omens season 2 #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable spouses #go s2

#man ive never seen an eating disorder kill someone else besides a parent infecting a child but my nana is really trying #shes like 1000% orthotexic. will not eat anything not filled with vegetables or fat. and my grandpa is 87yo with a heart condition currentl #in the hospital for covid bc thry went to Christmas church and dont believe in being vaccinated and my dad is so frustrated #bc he knows his mom is not gonna give his dad hearty foods. he needs to eat like protein shakes and meat and ice cream. anything thats not #her cooking which sucks on top of being extremely healthy. except its not healthy bc they dont eat a balanced diet #so its my nanas eating disorder killing her husband and shes so fucking frustrating. im like 99% sure she has obsessive compulsive #personally disorder bc she fits to a T and has zero insight. she may have full on 0cd bc talking to my dad he has more obvious 0cd #compulsions than i do. he used to say phrases before going to bed and would take 2 steps across the floor to prevent bad things from #happening. so like im pretty sure my nana is where i get my perfectionism and 0cd. god. i wish i could express how fucked up she is #like my dad said at least he had a stable home to grow up in but like she has zero sympathy for other people. cannot look past herself. wil #not wear a mask bc she doesnt care enough abt other ppl. my dad was like: u would not have survived in that house. which is fair bc i am #barely keeping it together coming from a stable home with two sympathetic parents who i know love me #and like its sad that they're suffering the effects of buying into the fox news bullshit and its killing them #but also. genuinely. i think theyre not very good ppl. theyre the type of people who think they're better bc they're religious. white. and #thin. and theyre not better thsn anyone. their grandchildren cant stand them. well cant stand her at least. papa is just quite so its hard #to say what hes thinking. apparently he was confused last night and saying something about eating dinner on the golf course. which sounds #nicer thsn being in the hospital lol. ugh. he seems not long for this world tbh. may he pass peacefully to b with his 1st wife who died of #brain cancer at age like 20 or something. so it goes. bleh. how many funerals are intended for me in the next 5 years? hopefully none but #that seems improbable with the unspoken drain circling that seems to b going on in this family. old age and like almost 10 years of cancer #defying the stats but for how much longer? #i dunno. its just so weird to watch these things happen and not talk about it directly to the other ppl who see it #i worry that ill come off as too callose or inappropriate bc i have that tendency when something bad is happening but thats everyone else #excuse? idk i just feel like its better to talk abt things #unrelated #ed mention #i tell u this so i can say these things to someone and also bc if i were u. i would like to hear the drama #bc im nosey and i assume other r too ;-]

Imagine: you are Idril and you hate your cousin viscerally and this hate is later justified in every way possible. He is a monster and a traitor and as unlike your belovéd aunt as possible. And he dies, and he does not come to the Halls of Mandos and does not reembody. Perhaps you are horrible for thinking this: but you are glad. You are glad he is gone and unable to return. He was a nightmare who crawled into your stainless city and tore it down when it was least expected. He made your father love him, and then he betrayed him, and you will never forgive nor forget it. Now there is no way he can hurt you, your husband, your son, your people– and there is no one he can betray.

and then your aunt reembodies.

Your aunt reembodies and yes, she died for that monster, but she was blameless for she was forced to marry evil and birth evil and love evil. But now she's reborn without those cobwebs of enchantment and you are prepared for her grief and rage over having been controlled. She will not be the same. But she will be back, at long last.

Except. she comes back and none of these things happen.

She doesn't care that her son is evil and treacherous, more his father's son than hers. She doesn't care. She grieves for your city and in the next breath she wishes for her son's return. So you love your aunt and your aunt loves the creature of your nightmares– the betrayer that nearly killed your son and brought your home to ruin. So you love your aunt but she does not listen when you tell her to let her son go because she never saw–

and so your aunt leaves. and it feels like betrayal. like your cousin ruining your family further from beyond the grave.

she still visits, but no one in the family knows where she lives. She is strange– both the steely eyed aunt you remember and yet sometimes she looks like she has never seen you before. you try to break the enchantment that she must be under to keep looking for your Marred cousin, but there is nothing for you to find. all your trying does is send her into a rage the likes you have only seen once before: when she dragged your father away from following your mother in death for your sake.

you love your aunt, and most days, you are sure your aunt loves you.

but you cannot understand her, and in this you have lost her as surely as when she died.

#tolkien #the silmarillion #aredhel #idril celebrindal #maeglin #our long heritage of heresy #in the heresy verse things are so so complicated between aredhel and idril because neither of their feelings about maeglin are wrong exactl #but maeglin being GONE– nowhere in Arda– is really the straw that breaks the camel's back for aredhel #and all idril is seeing is the maeglin issue which is a significant part of it but there's other shit in there as well on aredhel's end!! #my favorite dynamic for aredhel amongst the nolofinwions is that they love her but on a fundamental level they do not understand her #and she loves them back. so she forgives them for it (mostly) and says nothing of it. she leaves when it gets too much #but she always comes back #except reembodied aredhel has had an entire history created about what happened to her after she left gondolin WITHOUT HER INPUT #and BOY did they get it WRONG #and it is SUFFOCATING #here lies my three defining traits for aredhel: 1) she has been mistranslated her entire life from the very first time her mother held her #and said Irissë meant “Desired Lady” instead “Lady of Desire”/“Lady who Desires” #2) aredhel has little forgiveness and little pity but for those she cares about she will let (minor) mistakes go #(no matter how these little things build up and rot and fester) #and 3) aredhel built the enchantments that hid Gondolin and her craft is threefold: illusions and hunting and always. always. freedom. #apparently no one in her family can understand this. even after thousands of years and her DEATH #and unfortunately for everyone else reembodied aredhel reaches her limit and finally finally snaps #and this looks like it has come out of NOWHERE to the nolofinwions #shit's messy! #<- should be the slogan of Aman #my posts

i watched that one scene in novitiate for the first time a few days ago and I’m pretty sure that my brain chemistry has been altered for good.

#like- #mmmm #i don’t even have the words #i have so many thoughts #1) is that that was such a great performance by the both of them #it was legitimately one of the best sapphic scenes I’ve ever seen #such a good portrayal of just raw need #2) that scene was so imodna coded #particularly Cathleen was very Imogen temult coded im obsessed #3) the fact that this only happened in the last thirty minutes of the movie is criminal #really good build up till it got to the point where it’s like damn that girl has been through so much suffering and punishment #like no kidding she’s this desperate for love #but also it’s the 60’s and she’s a nun so of course it took so much to finally push her to the limit until she could ask for what she wanted #begged for it really #in a way I feel like it does pay off but if it had happened a bit earlier it would’ve been nice #novitiate

oh i've started listening to nona btw, my audiobook hold went thru at the library after many weeks of waiting. i also realized part of why i'd been putting it off was because i know i'm gonna miss a lot of important details and characterization and implications and have no idea what's going on during the first read and embarrass myself, which is silly. not knowing wtf is happening is a Vital Feature of these stories. i do not need to retain every single page of a book with perfect clarity or absorb every single thematic implication as i read it in order to enjoy it. <-desperately chanting this sentence while gripping the sink staring wild-eyed into the mirror

SO the plan is to just casually let it play through once so i get the vague shape of the story & then, if i have enough time left on the hold, to do a second listen wherein my brain will Actually Pay Attention. we'll see.

#i'm ~2 hours in. i find nona and her gaggle of younger friends very cute so i'm sure terrible calamities will befall them #the only thing i'm sure of plotwise is that their names are just weird bc she's literally translating them due to speaking Every Language #but i can't imagine that will have plot relevance it's likely just st the reader is supposed to put together naturally #i AM loving the occasional mentions of horrific atrocities peppered casually thru the narration #feels similar to book 1 where the narrator has no clue about the important political plot machinations and does not care to know #which is hilarious and fun. we'll see where it's going #nona the ninth #nona the ninth spoilers #i won't retain as much w two audiobook listens as i would with one sit-down paper reading session BUT #audio can be played while falling asleep. i don't have enough concentration or time to devote to a sit-down reading #bc i will struggle not to read each paragraph at least 4 times & think about every individual sentence. #audiobooks hum right along without my brain stalling out which is ideal for when i want to just. Experience The Damn Story. #the locked tomb #once i finish this book theres the murderbot audiobook and i gotta get my hands on hell bent

[red-dyed-sarumane]

@musicalisotope hi im going to. make this a post instead of a reply sorry i have a lot to say on this.

aru sekai is a really. obtuse series. none of its going to make much sense on its own. if it does i need u to share ur brain with me. anyway,

i think if u want to start anywhere i'd say either aru sekai shoushitsu, marshall maximizer, or laboratory.

aru sekai shoushitsu is the very first song its really long & theres so much in it & it sounds like nonsense by itself, however its a pretty complete summary of the whole plot. if u get lost once u hit the fuu lines & after dont worry about it we dont have the context for those yet. it's a lot to take in but once u move onto the other songs it all starts to click together like oh shit thats what that meant. it IS a lot tho. its also the most objective song of all of them; the rest are very subjective to their respective characters' views

marshall maximizer is of course the most popular song but thats not why im saying it. im saying it because it's the first time the concept of losing one's self/ego is really expanded on & thats a very very big part of the narrative. the lyrics it might be harder to pick up on that but the text in the background talks about it in a more direct way. its subjective to the chara's pov but it does a good job of establishing that "person" vs "thing"(no longer a person) concept. important to note this character is only an observer of that.

laboratory is similar its that same major concept of those who are still "people" vs those who arent any more. the difference here being its her experience as she crossed the line between the two. its a lot more direct than the other songs & its pretty easy to see the whole weight of the scenario & because of that it really helps put the severity of the other songs into place.

as for the others theyre very subjective & its a little harder to figure out whats going on. but in short kyuuyaku hankagai establishes its not just a personal risk & its a very long repeating event, shuuen touhikou is mostly to answer the question "well what if they gave up & didn't face the problem", oumen mokushiroku is overall that its pointless to take huge risks to themselves beyond the obvious, unplanned apoptosis is actually showing how the "doing things for yourself will save you" concept works, kanon gets into how precise their work has to be to get anywhere among other things, kugutsu ashura is a wall of words idk why u would ever start there its also weird bc she doesnt seem to be affiliated with the rest of them? an outsider forced to endure the consequences i think. i still have to dissect this one more for sure, & the new one yamete kudasai is kind of similar to laboratory but it shows more of the reasons people are pushed to the point of losing themselves.

there are. a LOT of very small easy to overlook details across all the songs. theres no one way to progress through the story since all the songs build off each other & show off different aspects of the plot & world they live in. & u also have to take into account not all of them are reliable narrators (im staring at the unplanned apoptosis girl in particular). theres also a LOT of details we still need expanded on to get the full picture but i think we're going to get more side context songs before magu moves onto to the fuu song to continue the order in aru sekai shoushitsu. the text in the background of songs that have it is also a major part of the story u cant just skip over it if you're trying to figure out whats going on. (this includes kanon. the original tweet with the decode was taken down but i still have the text saved.... somewhere. i will get that for anyone that wants it. very brief but it gives a glimpse of what the start of a retry looks like as well as why theyre in the situation in the first place)

VERY few people keep up with it as a series most people i see just think the songs sound good & leave it at that so i dont blame u if u do the same but its a very intricate story if u have the time & patience to work it out

also small side note magu's said all the charas have names but theyre a secret until later so they have to have some relevance with whats going on. it'll be a very interesting reveal for sure. we think theres 2 names in aru sekai shoushitsu (saginuma hisame & layla) but we dont know for sure who they are or if theyre even any of the girls in the songs. (best guess is the the shoushitsu chara & kyuuyaku chara respectively). thats not super important to know rn tho. also aru sekai series is a fan given name based on the first song since magu has never once talked about the contents of the series outside of what we get in the songs. (unless directly asked but theyre vague in their answers)

#musicalisotope #aru sekai series #i wish this was an anime could u imagine if we had more art of these girls. any of them #ESPECIALLY the angel in oumen mokushiroku she only has one official art it saddens me greatly. #id be the most annoying person on the planet if there was more #i really sincerely hope magu gives us novels for these. i need that kind of elaboration on some things for real #im getting off topic anyway itd a lot of back & forth if ur trying to figure anything out. #start with ur favorite i guess. #i wouldnt recommen unplanned apoptosis or kugutsu ashura as an intro tho. thats all #SORRY FOR. SUCH A LONG ANSWER. i have over 2 year invested in figuring this out i have. so much to say about this series i love it dearly #i was doing a very dissection of the while series at the beginning of the year but retranslating shoushitsu gave me a headache #so i still need to go back to that....... #i can talk a lot more about the series but 1) idk if anything counts as spoilers. no clue how to determine that since its not really linear #and 2) this is long enough i think u just wanted a brief answer im so sorry
