#taKING TIME AWAY IS GOOD OK

[brookheimer]

people acting like twitter's new post count is gonna cause a mass exodus to tumblr.... this website's demographic has not changed in 865578 years and it sure as hell won't now. this is the site for people who were weird and unhappy in middle school. everyone on here has either been around since they were weird unhappy 13-year-olds or joined when they were weird unhappy 13-year-olds, left because they thought they were normal for a while, then came crawling back again when they realized deep down they were still weird unhappy 13-year-olds. what does this site possibly have to offer you if you grew up happy well-adjusted and unaware of homestuck

#like have you seen that poll of when people joined tumblr and it's ALLLL early/mid 2010s if not earlier?? #twitter's fuckups have brought some people over but like. not as many as yall think #and thank god for that. i am very happy in my small corner of this website where i am surrounded by people with good taste and good takes #LOL #i'm the second category btw. weird unhappy 13yo --> No Im Normal --> oh ok no i'm not but shhh keep it on the dl (tumblr) this time #instead of running around asking everyone if they've heard of this thing called homestuck and giggling whenever anyone said bucket #...dark times. #but no like it's so funny to me that people think normal people will actually use tumblr. the stigma around it ALONE will drive em away #which like. fair honestly lolll #100 #this time on posts i didn’t expect to get notes #lollll #500 #1000

i can't stop thinking how funny it would be if gareth's brothers did in fact recognise him and were just like 'well clearly he has his reasons so let's all be good big bros and pretend we don't know him' and then spend the next few weeks before he goes off on his quest pretending extremely badly that they have never ever met this kitchen boy before nope not at all even while other knights are looking at them and looking at gareth and going 'hmmm'

#gawain can't resist giving weird brotherly pep talks every time he passes him like 'keep up the good work kid! we're all rooting for you!' #and then turns to ragnelle to whisper loudly 'that was ok that was normal and convincing right' while she rolls her eyes #gaheris bumps into him in a corridor and startles like a deer and is like 'hahaha random kitchen boy i certainly have never met before what #fine weather we are having in these parts hahaha i shall be leaving now through the door over there good bye' and then #walks into a broom cupboard and has to awkwardly back out again while gareth stands there #holding a broom that he was just about to put back in the broom cupboard #agravaine nearly manages to pass by without incident while gareth is scrubbing floors but at the last second brotherly instinct takes over #and he kicks the bucket of suds over yelling 'you missed a spot dickwad!' before sprinting away #gareth is just 'wow my brothers are bigger freaks and weirdos than i remember i don't want to be associated with these losers' #meanwhile arthur is like 'kay can you please just tell them all that you know who he is because i cannot take this farce much longer' #kay: ... oh so now im not allowed to have fun am i? fucking tyrant

Mingjue's gaze softens.

"Didi. You are confused. You are misinterpreting brotherly love for romantic interest."

Huaisang clenches his firsts and stares down at the floorboards. His expression morphs into one of pain. He draws in a deep breath.

"Da-ge, please sleep with me." Mingjue's body jerks back at his little brother's words. "If I sleep with you, then I'll know for sure what I'm feeling."

#bro doing anything but organizing her code #my brother says i write like i wasnt allowed to go to school #recently my brother had to do a project for school where he had to pick up a new hobby #he didnt do the assignment and at the last day he was like brother im so fucked help me #so i let him use one of my fanfics for the before and told him to use his own fanfic as an after and present that #his professor told him his improvement was incredible #thats all i have to say #theres something so cringe about when i write #ill write it and be like yeah. and then i read over it and die #unironically i actually run away from my fics. i have never once read them again after finishing #like when i draw. i look at it. im like yeah that part is good that part is bad. pretty mid but its ok. #writing? i turn red and hide from the monster i have created #i think my writing could be lethal. like if i read all my fics one after the other id die from cringe poisoning #i regularly look at my old drawings and cry how much ive regressed. but i can look at them. #one time my friend wanted to torture me so he called me to read my fics out loud. i endorse this as an execution method #shit gets me sweating. i have to get normal about this #some words #wip #the second wip actually #the first one is the saber spirit takes over nmj and he fucks nhs on the training grounds infront of everyone. #second one is nmj is like brother you have to stop being a freak this is getting out of hand and nhs is like nuh-uh. but also how'd you kno #on a side note remember my former student that confessed? yeah well #he proposed marriage

Ah someone else who has discovered the joys of Camelot (1967) a movie that I am completely normal about. Have you watched it? Because the delivery of the lines is everything and if you need someone to talk to about it I am, once again, completely normal about it. The scene where Lancelot and Arthur first meet?? A masterpiece in sharing a single braincell. And don't even get me started on the way Guenevere first treats Lancelot "have you jousted with humility lately". It's unapologetically at the top of my Arthuriana movie rank list and has gotten me to reread The Once and Future King

I have not watched the film yet!

I've been listening to the original cast recording on Spotify but, most importantly, I've read the book of the original Broadway production (1960 libretto) and I love it?? It's a delightful little read on its own, even without having watched the musical. (I want other people to read it please it's very funny I promise)

I guess the 1967 film script won't be identical to the libretto but I assume it's fairly similar.

The scene where Lancelot meets Arthur was hilarious it made me laugh out loud. Lancelot utter puzzlement ("Gone a-Maying, Your Majesty??"). Arthur's sudden self-consciousness.

And don't even get me started on the way Guenevere first treats Lancelot "have you jousted with humility lately"

I know!! Lancelot's grating self-righteousness coupled with his complete lack of self-awareness is so funny.

And I loved the gradual tone shift. It starts out so silly and the tragedy sneaks up on you — I thought Guinevere and Lancelot's affair might be played for laughs with an oblivious Arthur but no, it turns out he's fully aware of what's going on and he's forced to watch it unfold because he's powerless to stop it? and he loves them both and doesn't want any harm to come to them even as they betray him??

(He continues talking, looking from one to the other, feverishly — painfully) — Excuse me??

and King Pellinore is hilarious, he enters the scene wearing a monocle followed by a little mongrel named Horrid and talking like a character from a P. G. Wodehouse's novel. Extremely validating because when I read that chapter in Le Morte d'Arthur in which King Pellinore first makes an appearance my first question was "is he meant to be this funny?" and the answer from this script is a resounding YES.

I think I might perhaps watch the 1968 stage production first, merely because it's available for free on Youtube (at least in the UK).

I might try hunting for a free streaming link to the 1967 film, though I don't mind renting it if I can't find it.

#also the hawk motif got me ok #arthur asking merlyn to be turned into a hawk at the beginning #so he could spy on guinevere #telling merlyn he loved it when he turned him into a hawk that one time #arthur telling guinevere later that merlyn used to teach him lessons by turning him into different animals #and that he was meant to learn something from each one #but he didn't know what he was meant to learn from being a hawk #and then going 'oh no I got it!' #'when I was flying I could see there are no visible borders. why are we even making war to each other #over something that doesn't even exist. that's stupid. we are meant to live in peace' #'that was the lesson. I will create an era of peace' #and then his dream starts to crumble right before his eyes as lance and guinevere fall in love #and then him crying out to merlyn when guinevere was tied at the stake #asking merlyn to turn him into a hawk so he could fly away #like a lost child!! merlyn wasn't even there he hadn't been for years!! #I'm feeling so normal about it #sorry I just thought it was a good script! #regarding the songs – they didn't blow me away but I'm enjoying them! #they might grow on me still. probably more enjoyable when watching the film #I think my fave atm is Then You May Take Me to the Fair #“You'll pierce right through him?” “You'll open-wide him?” #GIRL why are you making it sound like that... #she's never been normal about lance not even for a minute not even at the start #asks #camelot (musical)

to me the funniest thing about making a warrior cats ultrakill au is that you don't really have to change a lot to make the characters and story fit into the warrior cats universe. being able to enter cat hell without dying was literally a major plot point for one of the arcs, so having some random kitty go and fuck shit up over there is totally believable as far as im aware.

#ramblings #ultrakill #warrior cats #yes im tagging both #this is vaguely inspired by a random tag game that said to ''combine your first real fandom with your most recent one to make a horrible AU #and here we are #before you read this i feel the need to point out that i only ever read the first 3 books bc that was all my library had #im mostly stuck on what to do with the whole council in heaven and god is dead/has abandoned us thing #i guess maybe starclan is no longer communicating with the clans or something. so a bunch of cats claiming to have a strong connection with #them decide that they'll fall in for starclan and order kitty gabe around to ''take care'' of cats that dont agree with them #then enter some rogue cat v1 that either figured out how to enter cat hell or is just causing problems on purpose #my headphones died and i was an hour long bike ride away from home ok. i had time to kill. #im not drawing this i just need to get my brainworms out. dusting off the good ol brain cave and what not

Can you imagine when Voyager gets back to the Alpha Quadrant and Janeway goes to give her official report on the Caretaker and she starts by plonking a rock down on the briefing room table?

#I see… a stone #idk did suspiria take the rock back? #how very like Janeway to make a report by dumping a corpse on a table (but respectfully) #the admirals nodding sagely like of course it was a fucking rock #it’s a Sporocystian life form #Harry Kim what are you talking about it’s a rock #Kate Mulgrew is so real for selling that scene with a literal rock in her hands #she’s just squatting there having a very believable moment with a literal stone and acting the shit out of it #I mean she’s some sort of genius #first of many official reports that’s why they made her admiral so they could listen to all her stories and she wouldn’t fly away #you know they’re all gossips in starfleet #she has seven years of star base visits she needs to make up for #good lord how many times have I seen this whole show at this point and it’s still not enough #ok my next Janeway cosplay I’m gonna have a rock #VEEEERY tempted to do sacred ground but need to finish time and again #midnight cackling #memeish

I feel like tags like these were inevitable on the post about people traumatising themselves for the greater good or w/e... There is SO much emphasis on posting on tumblr and other social media being so important and so useful and we must never stop. But I would like to counterargue with the idea that posting on social media (especially tumblr) constantly does very little/nothing. If that was true then the point here becomes meaningless.

#i guess i must be broken according to this person because i don't seem to feel emotions the way they feel helps palestine #activists in palestine are also calling for a general strike where no one goes to work and that has yet to materialise in a meaningful way #because people keep watering it down by saying 'oh it's ok just post constantly/about nothing else than palestine on social media' #yeah awesome great- look i'm sure there are people in palestine saying get the word out about our suffering etc #but they are also calling for more meaningful symbolic gestures like strikes which as far as I know no western country has delivered #because that would take a lot of organising and much less guilt tripping and people spending all their time posting #and comfort always comes up- comfort and discomfort- what even is comfort? #is feeling ok in your own mind an insult to palestine? #are there people losing everything in wars feeling better because someone in the west feels really really bad about their pain? #like sorry to be facetious but what on earth does any of this rhetoric accomplish #i spent years thinking like this and it made me so sick and now i'm better i am DONE with it- i cannot go back to this thinking #i can only live if i bend away from this kind of thinking like a plant to light- and i want to help others but people just won't stop #please- post on social media if you like. it doesn't help anyone to view the depths of their pain and feel bad #it is better to look towards hope a ceasefire and a resolution and end to the killing of palestinians for good #that can happen!!! #i think avoiding misinformation and dehumanising rhetoric about either side is also very important #i fully believe you can only understand geopolitics and war if you see everyone as human

smh why cant embroidery be “morally useful” according to my neuroses. i could do smthn i like better and doesn’t hurt me and still fulfill the Need To Do Something Good

#franposting #arguably rsi inducing crafts is self sacrificing according to the self flagellating evil gnostic in my brain #martyr complex girlie in even the smallest of things #but also. i really SHOULD actively try to take care of my shitty ass broken body #i mean i could sell embroidery and donate the money #but that requires like. a storefront. all the extra work. im not trying to monetize my habits #i am simply trying to do smthn good in my free time #i have no useful talents ok!!! and i am so far away from everything to volunteer #like. yall wanna give me ur paperwork??? i love bureacracy i will fill out finnicky forms for fun #other than that? this bitch is USELESS

The fact that Abel believes humans and vampires are all God's children is such an interesting detail. Like Abel has enough guilt already, but the fact that he doesn't see vampires as soulless beings just seems like it would add additional layers of guilt to him.

#ok i get that he can survive without vampire blood #although that is never satisfactorily explained... maybe the answer is in the books which i really need to read #and he also only ever feeds on evil vampires #but i still wonder if he feels sadness because they won't get a second chance because i feel like second chances are important to him #like his whole shtick is that he is penitent of his past sins so i feel like he probably regrets taking that chance away from others #but at the same time i think he also knows that he's doing the right thing which is probably a little bit comforting #there's just something sad and poetic about his acts of penance making him more guilty #it kinda drives home the idea in the Bible that your good deeds are as rags and salvation is only by the grace of God #trinity blood #abel nightroad #film analysis

for me… FOR ME..!!! and for shri’iia specifically the lock in for astarion’s romance is his graveyard scene in act 3.

i think it is too quick for shri’iia to be moving on to another relationship considering her previous one was with her mistress who essentially groomed and isolated her for like … more than hundred years. learning to chase her own desires and not moulding herself to what anyone wants her to be is something so new to her…!!! and something that she’s still learning how to be comfortable with….

and what I like abt romancing astarion with her is that I usually go for the dialogue path in his act 2 confession scene where you can ask him:

- what do YOU want to do?

and he goes like honestly idk what we’re doing but /this/ is nice. it just feels like two people exploring the option to love for the first time and taking things in their own pace rather than jumping straight into the relationship. they’re going at a snails pace… they don’t know what they’re doing but they like this feeling and the vibe and they want to more of it but they’re not ready to commit to anything yet and it’s fine for them …!! and they’re only committing by the end in the graveyard scene where significant time has passed and they’ve learnt a little more about themselves and they’re both more confident about their own desires and also how they want to be loved.

like it is so fitting I think… and sweet… not to mention astarion being a high elf & a vampire and shri’iia being a drow, they have all the time of the world for themselves so I def think they would want to take their time. except if shri’iia turns into a mindflayer or drider by the end then that plan is out the window lol

#now I’m thinking who else I can romance with her .. maybe lae’zel ?? #since the thing with her is that she doesn’t get vulnerable in act 1 so the scenes where the romances #are kind of heart to hearts like shadowheart’s or karlach’s (😭😭😭) is out of the question since it doesn’t fit her … #like she’d rather sleep with someone first than actually get to know them 😭 hence astarion and lae’zel … #gale and wyll… I am hmmm about it on one hand her approval with wyll in act 1 is not even high enough 😭😭 #and I don’t think she can be sweet enough to chase after him in the party .. she was kind of like ok fine whatever when he said he’s not in #the mood … gale I think can be a contender .. I actually don’t know how his route goes so I’m not sure abt that … #but the thing is … she gets vulnerable LATER ..!! and why astarion’s romance work for her is i hc after their act 2 scene #they’re just in a situationship rather than actual relationship … like they’re dating (yes!) but also dating (hmmmm) #and it’s only in his last scene where they both lock in bc I think that’s enough time for her to process her OWN trauma and also for her #own character development … like she has to learn how to trust (ack!!!!) which is the thing that you don’t do when you’re raised in lolth’s #cult …. and her mistress manipulated her trust too so it’s even more nerve wracking for her bc she doesn’t want someone to have that power #over her again .. but now she has to learn how to give it away freely … without being scared … bites my hand …!!!! #and astarion graveyard scene where he wants to live again vs shri’iia learning how to trust again and trying to live without the fear of #someone betraying you and using you and the paranoia that comes with it … urck urgh goughhhhhh critical hit … #also I have a hc that she actually is quite good at making poisons since her mother sold alchemy herbs and components #and she gives him poison as a courting gift lol .. also like a way to protect him 🤭 but she won’t admit that … she’s like if you want it #take it if you don’t idc 🤷‍♀️ (she does..) i hc that she gets flustered at sincerity actually #their relationship for me is like they’re both two little shits and a general menace to society (both charlatans) #but if they had to hold hands she’d get too flustered too and he’s like honestly what are you a child? (smug face making fun of her) #I have this little comic idea for them when they held hands for the first time and she’s like ouggghhh 😳😮‍💨 flustered and sweating and he’s #like hihi 🤭😎 but then their hands starts to get sweaty and then he’s like ew that’s disgusting and she’s like ok if u hate it let go then #and he’s like no YOU let go 🙄 but they don’t let go now they have to suffer through the sweaty hand holding alas such is fate …

Ok.. so... a little something...

So... we've reached this point I believe?

Soooo.... she got Tsukasa himself!!! to tell her about various of stuff!! How cool!! how funny he is the one she immediately took off the list. lol Nene-chan he saved you all the trouble and came to you in person. consider that!

anddd... instead of it being the assistant, it will be the master himself!!! Tsukasa - kun himself!!! WOW!!! What a great opportunity to get to know stuff from him!!! ahhh.. now I want to see Tsukasa going "what do you want to know, Nene-chan?"

Alsoooo...

wow... first time Tsukasa talks about Nene's death in this much detail (recalling ch 91, he didn't say much about it unlike here), while hinting (stating clearly) it's connected to the destruction of the yorishiros, a new one out, she comes once step closer to death, and here I thought Amane had no idea about that fact until Tsukasa's assistant told Nene about it and Nene then told him about it on her part? I thought Tsukasa was also aware of Amane's unawareness of it?

Amane won't really suggest that if he knew it will be the end of Nene by then? and Tsukasa seemd to know that? would Amane keep on doing something that will be the reason she will lose her life? especially when doing it is actually what would lead her to death?

In ch 105 however, Tsukasa seemed to be talking with Amane as if he is aware Amane already knows of that fact "now, but not in ch 91"?

Amane only got to know after Nene was told by his assistant in the scene above.. then.. how did Tsukasa know is he "now" aware of it? was he spying on them while chatting there? or lol... did he know about this?

Hmm...

lol, look at all that self confidence.

of course, these are the options they actually are 2 halves of the same option but with with kinda different ways of happening if we said Amane was telling the truth there and didn't really know about that fact for real, which is a thing I believe since he wanted Nene to have Sumire destroyed before while trying hard to get her to live, and did stuff to ensure Nene would live like in the severance arc or p.p arc, if he knew... he wouldn't have asked that or did these stuff.. or that's how it's supposed to be?

And, I trust Tsu to know what is best to do. If destroying the yorishiros is the right thing to do from his view, I'm with him. I know for a fact the 2 he is fighting for are Nene and Amane and at the end he is trying to make sure they are "happy" together.

He is trying hard to get this to happen.

Ok.... enough of that...! now... I'm hyped to see if Tsukasa is willing to share more really exclusive "information" with Nene at this point??? too exciting!!! imagine if him casually telling her he is Amane's yorishiro or if he went "as you already know I'm Amane's yorishsiro" would be one of the options! lol wasted energy, his assistant! I will laugh too hard if that happened.

#new chapter tomorrow! #yeah... i know Tsukasa might just be taking her to destroy no.1's yorishiro for now... but this could happen anytime in the future! #I'm getting carried away with stuff... #this thing got too messy... #ok... time for me to get some sleep! good night! #(.)

I'll talk abt this more when im actually awake but it's so asfgdfdggd funny ( painful ) how everyone excels at so many things then there's Shigeo & Shou
