Patrick and Pete throughout the years

"I remember looking at Pete and Patrick and telling Pete, “You're the luckiest guy in the world because you found this guy." Patrick laughed. Then I turned to Patrick and said the same thing to him. They fit together so perfectly. Pete listens to electronic music and pop. He DJs. Patrick likes old soul and classic R&B. The fact that Patrick found this guy with this vision; Pete had everything for the band laid out in his mind. And the fact that Pete found a guy who can sing like that and take his lyrics and work with them - which is an art unto itself. It's really the combination of those two that really creates the sound and the songs. They're just really lucky they found each other."

- Bob McLynn

#listen to american rock band fall out boy. but watch out! WATCH OUT! #fall out boy #pete wentz #patrick stump #fob #parallels #** #<- this is what happens when i put my elephant memory abt this band and these two specifically to good use. #really truly. it makes me insane their birthday moons form a full moon even…. #also if anyone wants the sources to these interviews/quotes/q&as lemme know i have *most* of them somewhere so

whatever happens, please don’t break

#god not a fucking DAY goes by where i don’t think of that one interview and this quote #does anybody have it word for word? please? i’ll pay you #literally every single time i think about how kunikida as w character was MADE for dazai. specifically to share his suffering #i actually sob into my hands because that means they were both destined for tragedy together and the long dark road they will walk #will at least not be lonely. because they have each other. they are each other’s light in the darkness. #DO YOU UNDERSTAND #bro the fact that kunikida is painfully aware of the imperfection of the world and how he still continues to fight for his ideals #paralleling dazai who finds humanity beautiful but cannot become attached bc he feels alienated from emotion #THE WAY THEY COULD HELP EACH OTHER????? SICK SICK SICK I AM SICK #i love kunikidazai sm i wish more ppl could see the potential #but some of you aren’t ready for the sheer perfection of their dynamic #also i’ve noticed that i am only capable of drawing dazai properly when it’s with kunikida what’s up with that 💀 #and sorreyy i know their height difference isn’t THAT big but i didn’t realize until i was halfway into the coloring 😔💔 #osamu dazai #dazai osamu #kunikida doppo #doppo kunikida #kunikidazai #knkdz #kunizai #lotus draws

Going to break into your house with pots and pans and yell at you until you reframe your thinking of productivity to include more than just schoolwork or a salary or chores and the like.

Did you do a thing? Was there a positive result for you or someone else?

Congratulations, you did a Productivity!!!

You aren’t ALWAYS going to be able to have the energy to do what we consider traditionally productive. You won’t always have the motivation.

Yeah, maybe you could have spent two hours studying for that test instead of 15 minutes. Maybe you could have cleaned the kitchen instead of the dishes. And? That’s still something!

Productivity is doing things!! Did you eat food and drink water? You did something that helped your body work! Doodled in class? You made art! Even just posting theories and memes on tumblr dot com is a thing! You thought out the post, figured out how to organize it (even if you don’t realize you did that) and you made it! And now other people can see and you DID something and you should be proud!!!

Be proud of yourself or I am going to show up outside your window tonight and scream positive affirmations louder than a cat who has just discovered her food bowl is empty.

#ESPECIALLY if you are disabled or mentally ill or sick or neurodivergent or any of the like #For me with ADHD and oftentimes poor mental health I really struggle to be traditionally “productive” #And earlier today I was frustrated because I was having a difficult time finishing a school assignment. #But also? #I noticed and made a post about a parallel between comic panels. #I’m working on a long post analyzing specific quotes from Webtoon. #I got up and got a water bottle. #Is that not productive? #Does that not produce a result that I and others may enjoy? #y’all have GOT to acknowledge little victories because that took effort and THAT was productive and Im sosososososososososo proud of you!! #adhd #autism #neurodivergent #i dont know what all to tag this as so feel free to reblog with any tags you feel this applies to or apply to you in relation to this!! #productive #disability #actually autistic #actually adhd #rambles

#look how far you've come look how far you've GROWN #the quote from the national for me is both about tommy AND buck himself #both saying how he dreamed of tommy specifically #but also how he dreamed about this future - a future of finding the thing that made him the person he *could* be #and here he is finally realizing that piece of himself that was missing #that it was here all along #buck dreamed of this version of himself - joyful and light and FREE - for his whole life #and he *found it* #here in a coffee shop #across from tommy kinard #something something invisible strings #...the parallels man... #they kill me #anyways #i literally learned how to gif to make this so #baby's first gifs #thats how you know how insane they make me #otp: better ways to get your attention #bucktommy #kinkley #also on the #firepilot #firecopter #agenda #evan buckley #tommy kinard #911 abc #911 on abc #i made this!! #im so proud!!

There's something i love about sskk and the way life and death are dealt with in Beast:

When Atsushi is introduced at the very beginning of the story, he says he became the reaper (death itself) in order to escape from it, because he is terribly afraid of dying. he admits this.

When Akutagawa's arc comes to its turning point nearing the end, he admits the second man he wanted to kill was himself. Now his disregard for consequences and tendency to go in suicidal rampages makes sense. He doesn't think he deserves living.

Still, when Kunikida ignites that little spark of hope inside of him, he decides to keep going. and he's able to defeat Atsushi, who then asks him to kill him. Atsushi, deathly afraid of dying. Asks for the release of death.

And Akutagawa refuses and encourages him to keep living. He, who only moments before wanted nothing else than what Atsushi is asking of him.

Two men surrounded and marked by death at the beginning. A boy who desperately wanted to live and another who wanted to die exchange places, and at the very end, they both helped the other (in its own, convoluted way) see that life is worth living for.

#this is me stating that water is wet at this point. its just... this specific parallel of them wrecks me #something something hayao miyazaki's quote about “true love” being two ppl inspiring each other to live #it wasn't atsushi who gave aku a purpose per se. but their fight was the set up for kunikida's line and that changed everything #don't mind me it's the brainworms talking #bsd #bsd beast #sskk #its almost 1am. still thinking about the beasties ;-; #lazutxt

"Seconds in command are a fascinating, if somewhat doleful, bunch: their labour is often as great, or greater, than those under whom they serve, and their character is less often blemished by egoism and hubris. After all, if it had been, they'd never have lasted very long in such a nearly commanding position. Sometimes, however, when the firsts are fallen, the story of the seconds takes on a grim and strange fascination: we yearn to see how they will perform when the mantle of responsibility is fitted to their shoulders."

Russell Potter reviewing Smith's 'Captain Francis Crozier: Last Man Standing?'

#The Terror #The Terror AMC #Terror Script #This quote is referenced directly in the script #Of course with Crozier in mind specifically #But it's rattling around in my head now #Because I think it applies to Little just as much #And the parallels to be drawn between he and Silna are very similar in most respects to those drawn between she and Crozier #Both seconds in command #Both with the mantle of responsibility fitted unexpectedly to their shoulders #Both struggling and ultimately failing to fully grasp that responsibility #For Little I'm thinking in particular of when Crozier is 'fallen' as it were #Both when he's lost to alcoholism and when he's absent for the final and most desperately awful days of the Expedition limping south #Crozier only sees the terrible aftermath of it whereas Little had to live through the horror of it all as it happened #Mostly I'm thinking that I'm going to come back to this in the morning and add many more thoughts #Observations #Random Observations #Meta #Silna #Lady Silence #Edward Little #Francis Crozier #Coherence impending

huge fan of the idea that "you should be smiling too. aren't you excited? aren't you happy? you're going to be free" was once said by chara in the past

#obviously this is one of those things where there will likely never be a way to fully confirm but it does make a lot of sense #with the scene it is said in especially. it feels like a parallel that would make sense #and their whole thing of smiling when they are going through it #things that are canon to me #ALSO the fact that the quote specifically is ''you should be smiling *too*'' #it makes it seem feel as if they were the one smiling and then saying that to asriel

[ID: a drawing of the narrator from the stanley parable and dr pierce from superliminal, both from the chest up. they are both drawn as fat older men, but the narrator is in grayscale, with short slicked back hair, wearing a shirt, vest, and tie, and dr pierce is colored with purples and oranges with slightly longer curly hair, wearing a shirt, tie with a constellation pattern, and coat. the narrator is smiling in a mischievous way, and dr pierce has a nicer smile. end ID]

i think these two should be friends and maybe even lovers- [scribbles out that last part] but um i have google docs open and i am writing an essay about how superliminal and the stanley parable are similar but opposites and same with dr pierce and the narrator, and the Conclusion i am working toward is that the silly old men should date.

#the stanley parable #superliminal #the narrator #dr glenn pierce #guy who has only played superliminal when it sees another video game: wow im getting a lot of superliminal vibes from this #i would slash j but i have screenshots from superliminal that could pass as tsp screenshots and vice versa #i am also dedicating a portion of the essay to say that while the narrator and dr pierce have certain big parallels for why im comparing- #them specifically . the superliminal character most similar to the narrator is the standard orientation protocol (SOP) ai #and i HAVE to say for the record that i love SOP with all my heart and i love her and dr pierce's friendship so bad #i think about it all the time they play CHESS TOGETHER FOR FUN #they make me unwell!!!!! #also i need anyone reading this to understand i was NOT kidding when i said i have google docs open for an essay #that is how deep into this i am #i have prepared Screenshots and Quotes ive done Research #superparable #< thats what i titled my essay and im using that if i ever post about this crossover again #ok i'm gonna hit post before i start making the essay in these tags thank you goodbye

#stranger things #byler #to be clear #i'm not saying these are direct parallels literally #i'm saying that #in s3 mike went from refusing to play d&d with his best friend #to in s4 mike bumming in the halls asking absolute strangers to play d&d... #oh how the turntables #like dude is DESPERATE to have a semblance of what he didn't even realize was an option until he lost it #I know we all laugh at Mike's #I hate high school #quote because it's so unserious #but in the context of mike's arc over the seasons #specifically between s3-4... #it says a lot #mike went from: #I mean what did you think really? #that we were never gonna get gfs? #that we were just gonna sit in my basement all day and play games for the rest of our lives??? #to: #I HATE HIGH SCHOOL!?? #THAT SAYS IT ALL #ITS SO UNSERIOUS AND YET IT SAYS EVERYTHING #also #will's: WHERES DUSTIN RN? #answer currently: running around the hawkins middle school looking for erica to be their d&d sub #also dustin flicking off the phone aligned with the dub of the fight in mikes basement kind of slaps #ITS NOT MY FAULT YOU DONT LIKE GIRLS #'60 minutes begs to differ--' #WEAR A HELMET also killed me i had to

theres no clear parallel for hosea (yet) BUT theres . a lot to be said abt comparing dutch and bruce, and arthur and dick btw. theres something about being the prodigal son the first the one that created the mould and shouldered the expectations because of an infallible loyalty that may well kill you one day to your father figure. theres something about believing in an ideology that is not your own but eventually being Better, making your Own decisions once youve split and started making real friends. something about perhaps fathers being chains. also about having a younger brother who was your brother first before your father was his father too. who looks at your footsteps and tries to hard to fill them. who idolizes your father in ways youre not sure you can anymore. who if anything happened to them you'd probably tear the world apart.

#because im gonna be real!!! i could use dick's ''i feel like the child of an alcoholic'' quote for arthur! dutch's spiraling is uhm. #frankly a really good parallel to bruce post jasons death #but yeah im comparing him to ntt 80s dick specifically #based on rus and i's brief chats on the subject amen #rook.log #cowboygame lb

goooood i spent like three hours at work today just thinking about the implications of apocalymon and i think i am legit just gonna have to write out a whole articulated paper about them at this point

i was trying to focus on listening to essays but nah man

i'm gonna read so hard into those plural pronouns (/hj)

#sky talks #digimon #digimon adventure #but actually i was thinking about a conversation i had last night that reminded me of an old project i'd looked at #specifically trying to investigate the different villains of the series #like the Big Bads of arcs #(devi / ete / myotis / dark masters) #in the context of the crests #i was reminded of pinnochimon's seemingly pointed parallels to yamato's struggle with the crest of friendship #and to what degree the different big bads actually reflect apocalymon's state of being i'm unsure #i think it's left a little unclear in the text (even in the sub) #i'll go back and scrub quotes if i write anything more formal in terms of analysis but like #if we're to see the dark masters as manifestations of apocalymon's collective feelings #both as being their own characters motivated by different things #and *as* those extensions of apocalymon #there are a few questions we also have to ask #1: by explicitly calling to mind devimon's attacks do we assume that to some degree the other Big Bads were extensions of apocalymon? #(ie: not just enabled by the distortions caused by apocalymon's existence but sourcing code from them) #2: can we use the other villains to read more depth into apocalymon? #even if point 1 doesn't hold true #i think the dark masters are meant to highlight lacking within apocalymon as this personification of digital obsolescence/extinction/entrop #the only one of the DMs i don't have a good read on is metalseadramon tbh #that serpent's really got evil himbo energy #but pinnochimon like i said seems to mirror yamato's crest #and by extension apocalymon's stated root of grievance in their lonely misery #machinedramon seems most concerned with control of the world around him #in a way very different his fellow DMs #and while i'm still baking the pie on piemon #out of the DMs he really seems to express the most sadism #and i do have thoughts about that re: this topic
