every time I rewatch the Rusty Anchor bathroom scene, it becomes gayer and gayer

#the amount of weight and emotion blanche puts behind every single one of her words #that scene (and actually the entire episode) carries the weight of a genuine love confession #i'm serious. the way blanche gets a little upset with dorothy for ''taking her place'' first #the way dorothy almost walks away but blanche can't let her leave. so she stops her with a very very intimate confession (''i'm jealous'') #the way jealous seems to mean ''i love you'' the way she says it #like i'm sorry but i don't think too many people tear up while telling their friend they're jealous of them #especially not after telling your friend how beautiful she is and how she lights up a room when she sings #hello there?? #and that final question blanche asks dorothy #if she's jealous of *her* sometimes too #i have THOUGHTS about it #(yes i just rewatched that scene for the umpteenth time for research purposes. what of it) #the golden girls #blanche devereaux #dorothy zbornak #blanche x dorothy #...my whole post is in the tags again isn't it

Wylan:

Jan Van Eck: Alys is pregnant with a son, who will become my true heir

Wylan: Cain instinct is real, I wanna kick this unborn child into the next realm of existence, he can never truly be my brother, Kaz is more my brother than that thing

#the difference was that wylan was working under the assumption that van eck would treat his little brother the same way he treated wylan #without love and as a constant burden and disappointment- which is why wylan would have been so quick to hype him up because wylan knows #what it feels like to not get van ecks love and he would never want his younger brother to think he was unloved- but then wylan saw #van eck love this unborn child more than he loved wylan and so wylan has to fully face the fact that it wasnt something wrong with his #father (it was but wylan wouldnt come to that conclusion)because his father does know how to love his son- so it must be that wylan is #unlovable and wylan- who is known to be easily jealousy- would hate his fathers reminder of his inadequacy and what he failed to be #alys' kid is basically van eck's kuwei- there in an attempt to replace wylan- the only difference is Jesper doesnt want to replace wylan #but van eck does- and that is what makes van eck the bad guy because we have this idea of unconditional love of a parent and van eck is #here to say 'but sometimes it isnt unconditional- some times there are conditions' and i think that is what makes him so much scarier #he is there to feed at our own insecurities of 'what if i am only lovable to a point' van eck is both a monster and incredibly human #he is what we're afraid our parents will be- he's so incredibly possible and real that he is one of the best villains ive seen in a while #wylan van eck #jan van eck #six of crows #incorrect soc quotes #crooked kingdom #six of crows spoilers #honestly alys did nothing wrong and I love her #even if she doesnt have the best singing voice- she owns it- much to the dismay of the crows #but she also cares about wylan so much and she is such a sweet innocent girl and she is the best #so dont even try to bash her cause i will fight you in a Denny's parking lot istg #alys van eck

lydia lunch live was exactly what I expected (absolute bitch). absolutely perfect.

#the thing about that infamous nardwuar interview that no one seems to clock #is that she is also doing a bit #and her bit is being an absolute ultimate impenetrable bitch #if nothing you’ve gotta respect it #like yes she’s nuts in it but I can’t help but think what the response would’ve been if she was a guy who’s suddenly doing a fun silly bit #*le shrug* #also the guy who played before her was fucking incredible #sometimes you gotta sing about fucking a ghost and buying too much leather

I was listening to Blood Upon The Snow by Hozier and GOD what a Himring theme like imagine???

Maedhros is newly "healed" from his 30 years or torture, just gave up his throne and crown to his uncle and is determined to travel east to build his strong hold against Morgoth. Everyone is worried, like yes he's technically healed but Maedhros has a… violence to him now. He is colder, both at the touch and personality wise. There is a glint in his eyes and his brothers (and cousins, and his aunt and uncle) all look at each other with worry behind his back as he now prowls as he walks.

Maglor is the most worried. He's more in tune with the world and the Music around them, and while Maedhros' song isn't twisted like the thralls they've met, it's brassy now. Before, back in Valinor, Maitimo used to sound like a string quartet, complex and intricate, like a beautiful glass mosaic that told a whole story without words and still let light shine through upon everyone in a splash of rainbow beams. Now, there is a thrumming undertone that's deeper, richer, that makes the almost word filled song of the strings become shrill, like they're crying out. The bass undertone sounds like the marching of an army and the strings sound like a death wail of the doomed. It makes Maglor's skin crawl as he watches his brother, not knowing what to make of the change in Song.

He listens, and he follows Maedhros. Climbs with him up the tallest, coldest peak he finds in the east. The mountain is cold, the wind is biting, and the snow is deep-- not that that is a hindrance for the Elves, but the horses have to trudge through snow that is basically up to their chests. The music here is also cold, sharp woodwinds nipping at the ears and shrill strings that rattles his bones. Maglor opens his mouth to complain, to urge his brother to turn back down this damned mountain when he finally breaks through the cacophony and hears his brother's song.

For the first time since the darkness engulfed Valinor, Maedhros' Song was steady, quiet, finding peace and blending into the rush of Music wiping around them. Maedhros himself looks at peace, eyes closed and face upturned to the weak sun. Between the rich red of his hair, regrown down to his shoulders since they had to shave it after his rescue, and the deep scarlet of his Feanorian robes, Maedhros looks like a spot of blood upon the snow. Maglor shivers, suddenly overcome by a vision of his brother drenched in blood, mouth curled into a snarl like a feral animal, surrounded by endless white and red all around him.

Maedhros begins to hum, a low tune that does nothing but send shivers up and down Maglor's spin.

"Brother, please, let us leave. There is nothing for us here, maybe if we keep travelling east there will be a better place to set up camp." Maglor begs, walking closer to Maedhros.

"No." Maglor freezes at the word. There was an undercurrent of command, of steel. "This place speaks to me, I will make our stronghold here."

Maglor gapes, he looks around at the barren mountain. Nothing but rocks, and snow, and sparse shrubs. "Here? Really?"

Maedhros nods. "Here. Her name shall be Himring, and she will withstand any siege." He hums again, the notes low and easily swallowed up by the wind. Maglor with his keen ears could pair the simple tune and worried at his lip when he noticed that it was actually a very basic version of the Song that screamed around them.

If he listened closer, he could almost hear the words in the Song. His heart clenched as he watched Maedhros turn and begin ordering their men, getting the wheels of creation of their base set into motion.

Maglor looked around the mountain side again. He could feel the glee of the mountain, at how the rocks thrummed beneath their feet and snow. It felt vicious, like hunting dogs straining at their leashes, an eager glee that felt almost bloodthirsty. Maglor just hoped that it just would be directed towards helping their cause, and not be their downfall.

To all things housed in her silence Nature offers a violence

#silmarillion #silm #maedhros #maglor #maitimo #nelyafinwe #I think Himring would LOVE mae and be magic and do anything for her Lord #Including stay standing for 4 Ages waiting for his return #Anyways I want Mae to be humming Blood Upon Snow while Himring is being build and that this is her Song #He sings it sometimes while walking her halls and kinda just becomes her Anthem #Mae sings it throughout his life and as a shitty lullaby to the Twins after everything has Gone To Shit #I know Mae isnt the battle bard of the family but MAN just imagining him singing this song while walking up to an orc siege #raising his voice as he sings about the hardships of the Winter and Cold and how hes the only speck of warmth for miles #burning hot like fresh blood melting through snow as he cuts down orcs #until he is practically screaming the last few lines. Loud and brash and bold and vicious #He IS the blood upon the snow. a red sun rising. a beautiful warning. and if you arent careful it will be your last and only warning.

To the lovely anon who suggested I watch Centaurworld, thank you for the recommendation!!! The animation is absolutely stunning and I can’t take my eyes off of it. Also, the voice actor for Zulias is the same voice actor for Blades from Rescue Bots, which makes me miss him more, and it’s sooo nice to hear his voice again 🥺🥺🥺

#also the scene where Horse is singing about missing her rider!!! #and!!! singing about how she's worried she'll never find her!!!! #AND THE LIGHTS IN THE MEADOW? FORMING A GHOST OF THEM TOGETHER?? #THATS LITERALLY WHAT I'VE WRITTEN FOR MY SAVING STARLIGHT AU #SO YOU CAN IMAGINE MY FUCKING EXCITEMENT WHEN I SAW THAT #I WAS LIKE WHOWHWWOHOHOAH STARKERI SONG???? #ive always written/drawn rid2015 starscream to see ghosts of me in our meadow #and agh when horse is like 'what if you move on without me' AHGHGH #MAKES ME FEEL EMOTIONS #seeing that scene made me think... maybe ill be able to get back into my AU someday #like fully immerse myself and hyperfixate again #i think i can. :) #one day at a time #woof #its silly but when i saw that scene my first thought was #'oh starlight misses me and is reaching out to me' #sometimes i look for signs from the universe that im meant to heal #when i notice these little things #and seeing/hearing that song about them missing each other and wanting to find each other #god 🥺🥺 #i needed it so so so bad #anon thank you so much for thinking of me and recommending this show

Modern AU Katherine's style icon as a kid would be Taylor from High School Musical

#this is obviously assuming she's the right age to have watched hsm as a kid #but I'm just thinking about all the ties Taylor has #and the prom dress she wears when they first sing a night to remember in hsm3! #and i think Katherine would incorporate some elements of men's fashion into her outfits #and assuming she grows up in a similar environment to canon (stuffy repressive and with parents who have very strict ideas of how to be) #a random Disney character who sometimes wears ties could very well be her first exposure to that sort of thing #it was for me! #anyway i have a headache I'm incoherent but Katherine in a suit thank you for your time #newsies headcanons #Katherine plumber #isabel.tex #anyway I've talked about Katherine and style a bit with Alex but it's getting a Tumblr post now because i feel strongly

[whatabunchofalices]

ok i was thinking and wouldn’t it be interesting if cerise, ramona and hopper have to go to apple when she sings or summons animals! they technically are animals, but it would only work on hopper when he’s in frog form.

this concept could’ve created a moment where apple gets a little suspicious of cerise because she is always singing and for reason cerise is always there!!

♥ like i love the idea of apple singing super early in the morning and cerise has to run over to raven and apple’s dorm, and has to stands there until apple is done singing or she just tells apple to stfu and then walk outs. I feel like this happens a lot

#midnight thoughts #cerise hood #ever after high #eah #this has a lot of interesting possibilities! #this could also create a dynamic between apple and cerise… #i feel cerise would lowkey hate apple because of this tho #cerise hardly can finish a single task with apple interrupting it #ok but imagine kitty using this to her advantage tho… #like kitty is always randomly asking apple to sing to so it interrupts whatever cerise is doing #cerise can’t even remember when was the last time she ate lunch without getting distributed #i feel like cerise’s parents would try to do something to make sure this doesn’t #but they don’t know how to ask for help without completely exposing their family secret #maybe later on they ask raven for help #every night i think about the endless possibilities of eah and it actually makes me sad #like it sometimes has me sniffing #i just miss eah

am finally back home and can say without a doubt that i am just fundamentally not built for long distance travel however the train was much nicer than planes

#that being said. pressurized cabins drive me insane a little bit #and also it gives you pretty intense sea legs for a While #like. the ones from the first trip hadnt gone away by the return one. so. might be stuck with that for a few days #we shall see #also ajr live fucks severely #the albums were already incredible but that was a goddamn religious experience #like. idk the way i think abt it is theyre more djs than a regular band esp w their performance showing the making of way less sad #like their music is very electronic‚ theyre making mixes of their own sound effects more than singing in one go #so like. the vocals were a teeensy bit rough at times #notably times it has taken me Literally Hundreds Of Hours Practice to be able to consistently sing along with #and times ive found its literally physically impossible to like. no matter what #idc how big your lungs are‚ there is no human on earth who can do that final run of karma in one breath #much less to An Entire Stadium After An Hour Of Jumping And Dancing And Singing Loud As Fuck #so like i dont blame them for that‚ you dont go to live shows expecting it to be 100% perfect anyways jwbdjsbfksb #the trumpet however. well she was certainly playing sometimes. and was very enthusiastic about her flares. #however. in most of their songs they use midi trumpets to my ear at least #meaning she was likely an addition specifically for live performances and in my personal band kid opinion #prooobably was not in any of the like. higher tier bands? idk just. a lot of the mistakes she was making were hitting as stuff that got #taught out of us the instant we joined any band beyond regular concert #so i would guess she was probably just like. a friend who happened to play trumpet in high school or maybe even just middle school #and they knew that the trumpet parts in their pieces were big and distinct enough that like they /had/ to get a live player #and just kinda. didnt anticipate the audition -> performance gap #like. her tone was really fried the whole time like she was playing as hard as possible #which. she was mic'd. have the sound guy turn her up. #the way they did it made it sound like she was using a mute but not. like she only got the bad parts of a mute from it yknow #her tempo and timing were. bad. theres no nice way to put that one it just Was Bad‚ like the trumpet runs in ajr songs arent. complicated #like. quite literally if you handed me the sheet music right now i would have it down perfect in a week at absolute most #and better than that player on sightread. like. we did so many sightreading drills. #like ill share my band kid creds if anyone cares but i need to emphasize this isnt me being braggy like. they genuinely just arent hard #fuck im out of tags. w/e i think only like one of yall also listens to them anyways so i can leave it there

me doing hrt is so funny because it does almost nothing to me emotionally I don't feel better or worse about myself it's just a pasttime like playing video games

#literally i am doing this for fun. i am a scientist and her lab rat #(this is not true always but rn i feel like this) #realized just how much my voice has already dropped today when me and my friend were singing and i was a full octave lower than her ? #anyway. I've never been good at keeping track of or noticing what's going on with my body but im kind of like fine with whatever changes #are happening. sometimes I'm thrilled about it sometimes I'm like Oh Wait Help and most of the time it's not important #most of the Oh Wait Help moments are when I realize me being on t has Implications on how other ppl think of/ interact with me #it does feel Right in some way though like I'm not thinking of stopping. It's just not as relieving and cathartic as I hoped #(same when i started adhd meds kind of. it does something to me but not as much as i thought) #i do love my body becoming more and more ungenderable and unintelligible by cis standards

[hanzajesthanza]

the short stories are actually really provocative and profound, heartrending and disturbing and thought-provoking and funny all at the same time and in such a short amount of space.

but i feel like when n*tflix touched them, they were the first victim of a withering away and soul sapping for me, in which i couldn't bear to be around the kinds of discussions and jokes and everything which were coming up at that time as fundamental misunderstandings of them so it just became very painful and very banal because they were all, in essence, forgotten.

however, that damage is not irreversable.

particularly in the case of a good adaptation, the musical, i have begun to remember all of why i love the short stories so much, just how good and painful to my heart they are, as well as thinking more deeply about some aspects which i had not previously considered or paid a lot of attention to (in lieu of other things which excited me more).

i think the biggest strength of a "good" adaptation and a "good" fandom is that they make you realize things you hadn't, interested in parts that weren't your 'favorite,' and generally expanding your mind and love of the source material. in contrast, a "bad" adaptation or "bad" fandom is that which makes you wish to forget and eventually end up forgetting your love and leaving it behind yourself. "good" is to remember, "bad" is to forget.

#txt #the witcher books #the witcher musical #what i mean here is that sometimes there are things you KNOW but you don't think deeply about and you don't consider the ramifications of #for instance i knew that the waters of brokilon erased your memories to make you a dryad but did i care all that much? not really #because i was so focused on geralt and ciri's relationship that the waters were just something i didn't want to happen to ciri #but hearing braenn's song from the musical made my jaw drop with emotion and horror realizing how impactful that experience would be #similarly ciri's song about the nature in brokilon made me realize that her wonder at all of these beauties is something so rare and #impossible in every single other part of the world because brokilon is The Last Place. #literally no other child - no other HUMAN - will ever see these sights she saw. and she's singing to geralt that she wishes he could see it #but really she is singing to all humans of the continent and therefore the entire audience #because also ciri is such a character as that she is innocent and believes in goodness and justice at this point #such as when she says that calanthe says elves and dryads are good and when she asks yennefer about drawing too much Power #so she's singing: i wish the world could be beautiful and i wish humans were not so cruel (the message of the song not her intention) #i won't even mention what waters of brokilon (song) brings to the table in terms of character understanding rn bc i'm procrastinating #ALSO THE STORY OF THE CAT AND THE FOX....... JAZZY TUNE.... GERALT DAD MOMENTS.... CIRI DANCING.... OK #twn critical #um and considering i just named three sword of destiny songs. the n*tflix series did NOT EVEN HAVE SWORD OF DESTINY.

An interesting conversation my lil sis and I had the other day:

________

Her: “I was sad today. But then my friend sent me David Tennant edits and they made me laugh so I felt better.”

Me: “Omg lolllll. Wait was it from Doctor Who, or—”

Her: “No it was Good Omens.”

Me, not expecting that response in the slightest, but feeling absolutely overjoyed: “No way!! I’ve been meaning to watch it! It looks so good!”

Her: “Yeah I watched it with my friend over the course of like five weeks.”

Me, who’s been trying to figure out where exactly she stands on the whole lgbt thing considering our father is homo/transphobic, cuz one day I wanna tell her that I’m ace: “So you’ve seen it!! Did you like it???”

Her: “Yeah, it was good, but— uh…”

Her, shifting on her feet and looking uncomfortable all of a sudden: “I don’t think you’d like it.”

Me: “Huh? Why not??”

Her: “It’s just— it’s very… the whole thing’s gay. I don’t think you’d like it.”

Me, utterly gobsmacked: “Um…?”

Me, who is on the gay blogging hellsite, who reads (and writes!) gay fanfiction, and who is literally queer: 👁️👄👁️

Me, who doesn’t want my lil sis to *know* that I’m on the gay blogging hellsite, that I read (and write!!) gay fanfiction, and that I’m queer: “…You know I have a lot of friends who are lgbtq, right? Like, I’m okay with that. Don’t you hear me argue with Dad when he makes one of his stupid comments?”

Her, quickly walking away: “Uh, yeah okay, idk I just don’t think you’d like it. That’s just my opinion.”

MA’AM????????

I can’t tell if she’s homophobic, if she wants me to think she’s homophobic, or if she thinks that I’m homophobic.

#hopefully if it was the third option she doesn’t think that anymore lolll #geez louise #this situation has had my head spinning for a while now #she’s so hard to read #especially cuz she lies about stupid innocuous shit ALL THE TIME #but it’s usually as a defense mechanism #but *sometimes* it’s out of a reflex or to ~deliberately fuck with me~ #so she’s impossible #I want to let her into my life fully so badly but I feel like I can’t trust her :((((( #sry this was just smth I needed to get out of my system ✌️ #🎶song sings🎶

Thinking about the dysfunctional found family that is the X-Men again (and throwing my Spidersona into the mix makes it no better)

#honestly rogue and kurt have my favorite dynamics with logan #rogue and logan get into the dumbest scrapes sometimes cuz they have less than a brain cell when tneyre together #and so of course thats p much cass' dynamic with him as well #except cass is also kind of a loose canon in a different way than rogue is #i think rogues powers have led her to being overcautious in a lot of ways #and cass absolutely does not have those hangups #like rogue would not be venom #ever #shes too conscious about the effect her powers have on others #and meanwhile cass is like hel yeah symbiote babey #so logan does have to get a little more firm with cass than he does with rogue but ultimately if u put the xmen in a bar with karaoke #cass and logan WILL be singing some stupid song by the end of the night #cass carver #x spider #cassidy carver

thinking again about gothenburg chess... wondering what on earth possessed anders glenmark to sing pity the child Like That

#chess the musical #its not a one off either #both anders and tommy sing all their songs in this oddly syncopated way as if trying to do something different/interesting #but instead it just comes off jarring and goes against the flow of the music #i think it was someone in the chess server who said this but it sounds like freddie has slipped on a piece of ice midway #through the final note of PTC #was thibking about this on the way home from work today and chucking to myself like a tool #also was thinking about how gothenburg chess is really oversung for absolutely no reason #whilst RAH/checkers is oversung (mostly by idina) because her voice is too loud and strong (and belt-y?) for the role #sometimes she and adam sound like theyre literally straining against the constraints of the music #josh a bit too #ANYWAY #missives

lapidot shippers when learning peridot is confirmed asexual and aromantic: i do not see it

#i mean its not problematic imo but i dont like it #like having different character headcanons #you can imagine whatever you want #but in this particular case i think peri being aroace is so much better #not only her canon instances of refusing love are epic but the 'sapphire and ruby are.. you know' *fucking gesture* is so much funnier #it also makes her character arc stronger bc it shows that she discovered her own purpouse #separate from steven and the gems drafting her and singing to her about 'peace and love' and not really giving her a choice sometimes #like it shows that things landed and she interpreted the message her own way. i guess #and also yeah representation. how many ace characters can you name?? #from cartoons i can only name todd (bojack) and peridot off the top of my head
