#thats just one class

[givemewallywestorgivemedeath]

K but the fact that Kristen is just a regular human being. Just a standard, average person in a land filled with mystical beings and magic spilling from every crack, nook and cranny.

And here's Kristen Applebees, the first born child of typical suburban parents, born into a religious neighborhood where everyone goes to church every Sunday and prays every night and everyone has a white picket fence with a perfect manicured lawn and not-so-subtly shuns those who are in anyway different from them.

Was Kristen not chosen by her God, by Helio himself, because of her perfect average parents with their perfect average house in their perfect average neighborhood?

Kristen wasn't rich, she didn't have a powerful bloodline, her parents weren't important, there was no prophecy foretelling her birth. No, Kristen was an attainable goal. Kristen was a good example for the youth, an example of what could be achieved if you just played along and played your part.

Kristen was destined to be the perfect picture of a devoted follower of Helio. She was the poster child, born smack dab in the center of Helio's flock, surrounded on all sides by followers and moulded into the perfect unquestioning chosen one since birth.

But by choosing Kristen, by marking her as property of a God, Helio gave Kristen power. Power over him, power over good and evil, the divine and infernal. Because Kristen is promised to Helio, because she was chosen by him and prophesied to be his, Kristen wields the power to start the end of days and crumble nations with a snap of her fingers. Should she want to, Kristen could destroy the world by simply not doing that, by not ending up in Helio's afterlife to live for eternity by his side, by proving a God wrong.

And it's with this power, this leverage that Kristen holds over Helio's neck like the sword of Damocles, that Kristen is able to free herself from his grasp. It's slow, at first. Joining a 'risky' school, meeting people outside of the religion, questioning elders, researching history and religions. And she doesn't understand how much power she has, not at first, because the power she possesses isn't magic, but a divine promise and unspoken rules that govern a world that she was never supposed to know.

But despite not having magic, despite being chosen for her averageness, despite being trained to be naive and blinded to the realities of the world, Kristen is overpowered as, if you'll excuse the pun, hell.

Helio creates divine religious scholars to protect her when she doubts and strays from him. Helio creates an entire new deity and religion for Kristen, allowing her to think that YES! (and, later, YES?) is it's own separate power from his and he does all of this, not out of generosity or love, but because he needs to keep Kristen alive. Kristen cannot die before she rejoins Helio's flock or the divine promise will break and Helio would be fucked.

So Helio gave her power under the pretense of it being from elsewhere, solely so that he could keep Kristen alive until he changed her mind.

And then! And then Kristen dies! And is revived. And she's Saint Kristen Applebees now (but the Saint of who?) and Helio has fully given up on her and turned his back on her (but his prophecy cannot be unspoken and he cannot be proven wrong so does he really? Can he really?) and Kristen finds a new God, a broken God and Kristen chooses her.

Kristen names her, creates her, Cassandra the Goddess of Doubt and Night, and Kristen finally has her religion, a source of power that doesn't stem from Helio, she's finally escaped his grasp.

And yet.

And yet, Helio still spoke his prophecy, still chose Kristen and she will always have that power over him.

And yet, in his own foolish shortsighted attempt to keep Kristen within his grasp, Helio still created a deity for her, a separate divine entity that chose her as well.

And yet, Kristen is still the undying, the follower of Night and Doubt, Saint Applebees, Creator of Cassandra.

With no real magic to speak of, with nothing special in her bloodline, with no real talents or money to her name, the perfect picture of normalcy in every way, Kristen has managed to twist the divine sphere around her little pinky finger. She has so much power and she has so little awareness of it.

And also she's going to be President, bitch.

#there's a reason why (when asked if theres a new chosen one) the other cleric made it VERY CLEAR #that Kristen was special in that regard. it doesn't transfer. she can't be replaced. it doesn't work like that #theres a reason why the bad guys want to know where YES! was created. why Cassandra was targeted first. #KRISTEN HAS SO MUCH FUCKING POWER YO ITS INSANE #thats MY president #kristen chilis applebees #an actual fucking saint and wielder of so much divine power #and shes failing her cleric classes. KRISTEEEEEN. WRITE YOUR ESSAYS BESTIE #YOUVE CREATED MULTIPLE FUCKING GODS AND DIED SEVERAL TIMES JUST WRITE SOME ESSAYS #dimension 20 #d20 #kristen applebees #fantasy high #fantasy high sophomore year

[naturecalls111]

Wish I never had to sleep I wish I could just stay awake all the time and do nothing but draw and had no responsibilities

#nc111 talks #I remember once telling a friend that my ideal partner is one who takes care of everything for me #i dont even have to love them they just help with everything i need to have to survive while i draw #and she was shocked #she said she didn't expect that from me and that it couldn't be healthy i felt that way #and i was like #well. yeah. thats why its an ideal. that would never work ever in an irl context. the inevitable power dynamic diff is why i dont pursue it #like. i know thats not how irl relationships work and i would never subject a partner to that #i would never want someone I love to actually just deal with shitty stuff themselves while i stay selfish lol #hence why its a fantasy where i dont have to focus on an unachievable romance #i have a fantasy of the perfect romance in my head but the other ideal seems more attainable. that's why say fuuucckk it #someone does my taxes while i draw #imagine.... WHY WOULDNT THAT BE IDEAL? #Anyway im just rambling because i have class tomorrow and im upset i cant just stay up all night and draw everything i want to #anyone want to take a guess why im so extremely charmed and in love with sanji... LMAO

Imagine creator reader but no divine presence or aura that makes people crumble at the knees.

Reader just spawns in at wolvendom like a fly and meets diluc for no important reason i just love diluc then pow we can alter character builds then discover that my husband has the bell and instructors set on 😲

Creator freaks out cause wtf this is NOT the build i put on my diluc and hes standing there like ‘what psychopath did i just meet..’ so wow what no way creator reader just happens to have a 2 piece crimson witch in their inventory.

Reader: ‘You’re probably gonna leave me here but theres a hillichurl camp near by you dont want the knights of favonius to get to it first right’

Dilucs mad suspicious but hes a good civilian and puts his vision to use and absolutely destroys the hilichurls

Hes doing like 19x the amount of damage he normally would and word gets around that theres some random lady that makes people uncomprehendingly strong

considering the historical influences in the fashion of Dishonored (and the extent of nsfw fanfiction this fandom has) I’ve been thinking about the layers that would be, realistically, part of the daily dress

which means: dishonored seems to honour the importance of a vest in a properly dressed gentleman’s or lady’s wardrobe

vests were, and I cannot stress this enough, a mandatory part of an outfit, to the point of men wearing only vests if they could not afford a fully tailored suit (trousers + vest + jacket) and a new shirt and opting to only wear a fake collar under the vest for the illusion of a full outfit

shirts were underwear, so to speak. there were no occasions in ‘polite society‘ where one could only wear a shirt without a vest on top.

this is something we see mirrored in both dishonored games, though the style of the vests and clothing have somewhat changed, they still follow the same rules of vests worn with every outfit, as far as we can tell. (we could argue that Jessamine is not wearing one, or that some higher class women aren’t wearing vests under their buttoned up jackets, but since we don’t really see underneath we can’t judge.)

we see the vests be worn even by the Whalers in the first game (which in itself brings up many questions. are whalers, the actual whalers that capture and kill whales, held in high enough regard by the society that they made a vest part of their uniform? or is it merely something that is worn by all? something that every citizen of sound mind would don, were they to leave their house?)

there are a few exceptions to this, of course, but this whole thing came to be by asking a simple question

does the Outsider wear a vest under his leather jacket?

now, in the first game, his jacket is unbuttoned just enough for us to get a good enough peek at what lies beneath. which is to say: there is no hint of a vest underneath. judging by the vests in the first game, the fashion was that the vest would go up high, often covering collarbones or even having a standing collar. what we see on the Outsider is just... an unbuttoned shirt

it’s much the same in the second game, even if we examine his final concept art, his outfit consists of a shirt (more or less underwear) with most of the top buttons unbuttoned, and a jacket on top. no hint of a vest underneath

what I’m trying to say is that the Outsider is a slut

#dh #dishonored #the outsider #I got hyperfixated on fashion of the belle epoque (the inspiration for dh fashion) so most of this information in regards to history #should be accurate #mind you the books I read had a heavy focus on habsburg monarchy fashion so it might be slightly different to say the US or france etc etc #but that should be right #if anyone has stuff from the games to disprove the vest in higher classes statement bring it on #I doubt the artists would do such a great transgression against polite manners though /j #but yeah tl;dr the outsider wears the equivalent of a blazer on top of a bra #I have so many thoughts and feelings about the fashion in these games I could go on for Ages #this all started when I was thinking about human outsider being taken in by corvo and emily and as he takes his clothes off for a bath #a maid is absolutely scandalized by his lack of a vest underneath #I do want to acknowledge that there is concept art of outsider in dh2 that DOES have a vest under the jacket but that one went unused #the pattern on it kinda reminds me of the pattern on corvo's and emily's clothing tho that might be a reach. or just a pattern thats popular #i firmly stand by my headcanon that the outsider tries to imitate the fashion of the real world in the void with a bit of his own Void spin

does light actually know that L is 24 or does he just think theyre the same age. Like L is aware of lights age, he comments on it like twice, but does light? The only world in which lawlight could exist is just light having a one-sided crush and L is just ignoring it

#finding out L is 24 DID shock me a lot (the real ones were there when i found out) but im glad i know lmao #so this is NOT a lawlight post in the sense of it being mutual. L is normal and doesnt date teenagers lmao he is at the clubbbbb #its just funny to think that light thinks otherwise #bc genuinely from his perspective this guy is in his class college freshman year so hes prob his age?? #like he never mentions it at all meanwhile L does lol #L’s birthday hits and hes like wow 25 thats crazy #and light looks up from his magazine like What #death note #l lawliet #light yagami #shut up evan

Woke up I'm in the in between honey One foot out and I know the weight is coming Because I left it by the bed last night Open my eyes and I stare and pray for light Always one foot out when you say goodbye to the one that you love One dream away from the ones above That's such a rhythm in my life these days So I hold on tight and I learn to behave

[simorys]

When I first got into Lord of the Flies I assumed that since none of the bigguns knew each other (besides the choir obviously) that they all had to have been from different schools, because there's no way you don't know everyone in your class and the classes around you.

Until I learned (embarrassing recently) that it's uncommon to know everyone in your class by first and last name and most people in the classes around you.

#lord of the flies #lotf fandom #my graduating class was about 48 people #which is very average for my school #apparently thats extremely small #I used to think schools with more than one story were only in Tv and movies or were just for rich schools #So now i hc that the choir are the only ones who go to a different school #Everyone else is in the same public school 💀

Look at you, under me. My knees on either side of your waist, leaning over you while I keep my hands firm on your shoulders. Your eyes is real big like a little deer, haha, you know I can feel your heartbeat right?

You look so goddamn handsome right now. Moonlight on golden brown skin, the slight shine along the gradient of your lips, the way your eyes are pulling me in; somehow darker than the already dark room. You look in the mirror lately? Your jawline is changing, it's squaring itself out. Your shoulders lookin different too. You're like a flower or some shit, blossoming into a man at my hands.

Tell me, You wanna get hurt?

Nah—Hey!—Dont you try that shit again or I'll pin you forreal. Lay there and relax. I aint goin nowhere and neither are you. yet.

Think about it. You, me, shorts, MMA gloves, gym mats. You've noticed by now, yeah? You're a little stronger than you were before I started workin' on you. I wanna test it, I wanna beat the hell out of you, and you can do the same to me. I want to hurt you. You should see how much more a man can take than the imposter who was in your place before. I wanna see that realization in your eyes when you realize how much easier it is to hit me just a little harder. I wanna see how much sweatier you can get now. I wanna hear all them new noises you can make in your new voice. Don't you wanna see it too? the evidence of your actualization? You look all calmed down, I'll ask you again;

You wanna get hurt, little man?

So much of the "bad" behaviour in ofmd are trauma responses and i love that they show how yeah sometimes we dont respond in the most healthy of ways, we fuck up and we hurt those closest to us, but we still deserve love and kindness at the end of the day

Just so important to me

#its just really important to me #and is why i will defend this show to my dying breath #ofmd #our flag means death #spoilers in tags: #stede's response to ed & the crew potentially leaving #ed's whole kraken era lol #there's so many examples of their actions being led by their trauma #and even the characters whose backstories we dont get #its heavily implied that a lot of them grew up either poor #or at least on the outside of conventional society #whether it be for attraction gender or class #and growing up around violence!! #thats a big one! #violence as the only method of solving problems #why they're so confused and rattled by stede #when you've never been shown kindness before its hard to show it to someone else #or recognize when its being shown to u #i so wish max hadnt cut the budget and episodes #bc s1 did such a good job of showing all this w added backstories #and more breathing room #and while i love s2 it has suffered from the reduced time #especially in this regard #i do think the post-kraken crew dealing w their traumas differently #was some of the best television ever #like they dealt w such a serious topic w the complexity it deserves #(tho again had they had more time it could have been ever better) #and sure there was some humour #but it wasnt cruel #ofmd s2 spoilers

every time i see someone call tron 'cyberpunk', i lose ten years off my lifespan

#note to self literally never read letterboxd reviews of movies i like i cant do it anymore kdjfgkdssd #say you saw the movie and the plot and visuals went right over your head without saying it #like. in what world is tron dystopic?? cyberpunk in itself is an offshoot of dystopian fiction. tron is not about an imagined future #tron is about an imagined PRESENT. thinking about our PRESENT relationship with technology in relation to the times each film was released #tron is in equal measures hopeful and critical about technology. that is NOT cyberpunk #the only CyberPunk that matters in tron is the Tron2.0 character of the same name #i will admit that tron's plot is cyberpunk derived but its. idk man its not the same thing #thematically its different. visually i think tron shares developmental artists with blade runner where the cyberpunk visual stereotype was #- established #but blade runner is more pure cyberpunk thematically than tron is. does that make any sense #and. and. listen to me. i am number one retrofuture fan. i love syd mead. i love moebius. but listen. just because they worked on tron - #- does NOT mean tron is thematically OR visually retrofuturistic either!! the visuals match the time it was made!! thats not retrofuturism! #thats normal scifi based on the every day!!! #tron is a sandbox and at the end of the day anyone can do whatever they want its all just for fun #at the same time. the entire story of tron is being severely misrepresented when labelled as cyberpunk. and it makes me sad #these are very shallow thoughts i just miss literary thematic analysis sometimes. my film studies classes cannot come soon enough #rex speaks

"saltburn doesnt have any messages its just a wacky movie" its literally about how one mans lust and obsession for something and someone out of his grasp cause him to commit horrible acts to an entire family. he forfeits everything that he Is and becomes something crazy and new and fucked up in order to accomplish this goal. whats not clicking

#saltburn spoilers #saltburn #it has a LOT of meaning...... just not what knives out was about #it isnt so much a class conflict movie (it is but not to the knives out extent) #but it IS about obsession in several different ways #how much oliver wants this rich life #how much oliver wants felix but is never able to be satisfied #so he ends up in a large mansion thats empty. no one but him and his thoughts #his desires were empty #it was about power #i could write an entire essay on this but im not an english major #so it will stay in my head #but theres so much to dissect about thsi movie
