there being next to no established canon backstory for basically anyone in this film is tonnes of fun cause you can say stuff like 'i think nigel had a brother he accidentally killed when they were both children' and there's nothing to dispute it

#who's to say otherwise? greg? HA! you can gaslight that man into believing whatever you want he understands so little of his own film #coming up with my own reasons as to why his father dislikes him so much #like minds #nigel colbie #like minds 2006 #originally when i wrote this it was younger brother but now i'm like . older? i mean there's something to be said #about the idea of the older brother .the protector . being responsible for the death of the younger one #but then i started thinking along the lines of a baldr loki sort of situation. where the older one is the golden child #so perfect and pure and bright #and the younger has something irrefutably wrong with them. they're wicked and rotten and wrong #and they end up being responsible for the death of the child beloved by both their parents #and from there the resentment festers and grows #maybe john should've taken better care to make sure his guns were always locked away properly #maybe it wasn't as much of an accident as nigel led them all to believe #anyway .watch someone jump in and point directly to canon info that refutes this . i have not watched the film in awhile

Cool that anti china groups are making a sorta federation w prominent USAID actors & a former RoC presidential aide (among other prominent DC NGOs) on the board. It's like a nice little list of spook-connected anti china NGOs all in one place

#found it looking up the one source voas using for a new 'inner mongolian language ia being erased' story #now i found something abt the org behind the claim. are you holding on to your seats #that orgs been receiving NED grants since 2006 #like im just on my phone in a parking lot rn #im sure anyone with like actual journalistic experience could find 10x more in seconds

Okay but... what if Brainy could emote with this eyes? He can’t blush so I need to show he’s overwhelmed SOMEHOW

#legion of superheroes #brainysupes #superman #brainiac 5 #losh 2006 #legion of superheroes 2006 #my art #i got the brainysupes brainrot SOMETHING FIERCE #this might be one of my favorite brainy's ive ever drawn #looove how he came out #his hair his eyes his hand

I could post the entire transcript of destiny deoxys as a text wall just to be annoying, and nobody could stop me. Do you ever sit and think about the power at your fingertips? Because I do.

#not a threat. just an option. #back to exam studying. sigh. #the one i found kind of sucks though. naturally my brain goes 'well. if you want it done right then do it yourself'. #as if that's at ALL a good use of my time. it's absolutely not. i won't do it. for now. but I could. #the urge to sink hours into something tedious/boring/unasked for/unrewarding..... it tempts me more than studying does. I'll say that much #being bored will have you wondering 'hm. what if i hole punched an entire piece of paper for fun' #or 'hm. what if I transcribe this entire movie from like 2006 for literally no reason other than it's-not-phosphorylation'

damn sorry about the lack of asks (<- lying /j) Im working on number 26 right now but i spent a lot my time earlier messing around with my dvd player instead. Oops. I will probably regret wasting my time like that.. BUT i have two key frames done and the third one sketched out... if im counting right theres three more (Same pose with minor tweaks, but still a unique frame nonetheless) before i get around to the minor animations and gluing it all together. I could probably do these faster if i didnt like doing gifs so much. Somebody stop me!!! anyways goodnight.

#(paragraph in the tags. I got excited dw about it.) #I GOT A CHICKEN RUN DVD!!!!! FROM 2006!!! SO IT HAS ALL THE FUN FEATURES!!! THAT OLDER DVDS HAVE!!!!! LIKE GAMES N SHIT #IT HAS A SCREENSAVER AND LIKE... “digital pets” OR SOMETHING..... AND A CALCULATOR... YOU CAN DOWNLOAD ON YOUR COMPUTER.... #And i got all my favorite films burned onto physical dvds #which was a goal of mine to get!! YAYY!!! I can watch them a million times in the background while i work now #especially because my taste in movies includes some obscure ones i cant find dvds for. actually. like anywhere. #Arashi no yoru ni. Klaus. Invader Zim: ETF. things that i cant buy physical things of. which is so fucking lame. #ive seen them so many times so it was about time i got them on dvds #sorry rambling lmao #im just super excited to have media i love as a physical item for me to use whenever #so so so nice #ALSO i got a fucking xbox 360????? i want to get PVZ garden warfare for it i love that game so much #.... & maybe rayman.... #SORRY GOODNIGHT I MEAN IT NOW

#can you tell i gave up towards the end of this lmao i started thinking about my assignment thats due #not me using THE emily bronte quote from wuthering heights for a like minds post of all things #but it's been on my mind for the past 3 weeks so here have this ? #i don't think the 'take any form' one works really well #but i wanted to capture that transition from nigel being in the room to being gone to highlight his absence in alex's life #listen to me talk about this movie like it's A grade stuff and not something i never recommend to people ever #the hold queerbait has over me is insane #i'll be making edits about this movie like it's not the most messed up shit i've seen #like minds #like minds 2006 #murderous intent #nigel colbie #alex forbes #tom sturridge #eddie redmayne #quote #literature #posting and then dipping for the night

just watched the most poorly aged episode in any 2000s era tv show i think i will ever watch

#psych episode uh 9 i think? gamers do yourselves a favor and skip over that one #the culprit is a guy with DID. one of his alters is a trans woman and the other is ye classic violent guy or whatever #and the mystery is that the trans woman is seeking out gender reassignment surgery and the violent one kills the doctors she talks to #cause he doesn't wanna lose his dick #it's fucking insane #actually fucking insane that they wrote that #there was something in the water in 2006 #but maaarrrsss!

And yet, despite everything going on right now, I'm still thinking about converting to Judaism.

#i'm just not sure i have the self-discipline required #and maybe it's better for me to stay a goyishe ally #because maybe i can help more from the outside? #anyway it's something i've been turning over in my head for years #i was raised in an evangelical christian cult #but one that taught that jews were above christians in the heavenly hierarchy #that jesus died to save everyone else #and that christians had a sacred duty to protect the jewish people #which i guess is better than wanting to use them as a blood sacrifice to bring back jesus #but it still seems uncomfortably paternalistic to me #so i guess i'm still kinda untangling the views my upbringing instilled in me from my own sense of morality and justice #and i think i have more work to do on that front before i make a decision #i de-converted from christianity in 2006 and was an atheist for almost 20 years #and now i consider myself to be just sort of vaguely pagan #but the thought of becoming a jew still holds a lot of appeal for me even now

This is really random but does anyone have a good picture of the stuff on Alex’s cork board above his bed? Or know whats on it? I think i can make out a postcard, a some kind of photograph and maybe some kind of poster(s)?

#like minds #like minds 2006 #anyway i’m drawing something and the cork board is there so #now i want to know whats on there #but if no one knows thats fine i can make something up! #alex forbes

#like minds #murderous intent #like minds 2006 #nigel colbie #alex forbes #nigel colbie x alex forbes #having a normal one 🤡 idk just something small #i mean as much as i love clowning on the fact that 0.2 seconds after nigel took alex to the room #the most insane batshit stuff ever just came pouring from his mouth. 10/10 on the flirt game #it is kind of sad when you consider the idea that nigel sees himself as having no inherent worth outside of being something to be used #i mean he describes himself as the pike in the dynamic; the implement for killing #the weapon; the tool to be used #the idea that his only purpose is to serve as an instrument for someone else to achieve their destiny ? #and that night in the trainyard where he decides the best thing he can do is die so that jack can be born????? #are you listening greg ??? because this is exactly why it would've been better for the movie to affirm nigel as alex's maraclea #take notes greg okay #because if nigel positions himself in the role of maraclea?? then it all falls into place and now you've got this guy who thinks #that the best thing he can do. that the ONLY thing he can do. the reason he was put there in the first place #is to die and help alex become everything he was born to be #i stand by what i said on the earlier post that the night at the train yard was their consummation ..that the birth 9 months later was jack #beyond telling greg he can pry this idea from my cold hands #if he wants me to admit i'm wrong he can fight me for it in the car park of an aldi #sorry to anyone who followed me after the cannibalism web weave but this is a like minds blog first and foremost

sometimes u put yr playlist on shuffle a song comes up and you have to put another song in the queue immediately as soon as it comes on bc it makes you think of that song

#this is abt aura by ghost and pals Sry everytime i hear it im like a fiddle This is just like devil went down to georgia and then i have to #put devil went down to georgia in the queue #i think its a fiddle innit.. it sounds like a fiddle but im also NOTORIOUSLY bad at telling instruments apart. <- guy who once couldnt tell #if something was a guitar or a piano i actually rly rly rly rly dont wanna get into it okay. #i guess you didnt know it but i am a fiddle player too 😏😏 #sry. the other thing this post is abt is kiss me and ladies in their sensibilities sweeney. obviously those r connected #but if ladies in their sensibilities comes on by itself i quite literally couldnt be assed so everytime i have to put kiss me on instead an #add lits to the queue. bc them together is like the best song i ever heard its just that the beginning of lits is just kind of boring It #does get stuck i my head sometimes but the supreme part is the end thats Basically just a reprise of kiss me #but also theyre kind of the same song anyways at least o wowww i was just typing in tempo with the fiddle that was awesome. at least on the #2012 soundtrack aka the best one talk to the hand or dont i dont wanna hear it. well i do want to hear it it being the 2012 london cast #recording of sweeney todd starring michael ball and imelda staunton. ANYWAYS!! in that one the songs lead in to eachother #ive listened to all the other soundtracks but idr if they do that.. well ill tell u the movie doesnt bc it doesnt have kiss me. which is #just so. the johanna anthony romance doesnt rly have much substance in the first place and yr taking away like. their duet together. ok.... #AND yr taking away the end part of lits? the best part of that song? whatever its fine its fine. #if anybody is curious my ranking of casts is 2012 > obc > movie > 2006 i fucking hate 2006 or 2005 or whatever i hate it sm it makes my #blood literally boil im sry. i fucking LOATHE it idk what it is well i do but this post is already 5000000 years long. idt the new one is #out fully yet... i was ok with the songs i have heard but idk where id rank it yet. i should prolly check if the full things out yet omg so #me and my lampstie (way of saying my siblings name if theres something deeply wrong with you) can listen :]

A sequel to this where Brainy doesn’t succeed in fighting off Brainiac’s control. Facing down kryptonite, Superman only has one last ditch effort to reach him

#legion of superheroes #legion of superheroes 2006 #brainysupes #brainiac 5 #superman #losh 2006 #legion of superheroes cartoon #my art #i feel like there should be some kind of warning tag #for having the equivalent of a gun to someone's head? #but im not sure what #this is one of my favorite tropes everrrrrr #i love when allies are controlled #by a villain #and someone close to them has to talk them out of it #I still haven't finished season 2!!! #so please still no spoilers #i drew this before watching 'message in a bottle' #but WOW am i excited something like this might actually happen now

one thing that’s interesting in the “loved one / love interest is captured and needs to be rescued” plot line is that it actually, very rarely, ends up with the hero actively helping the villain. in both ATLA and star wars, the loved one being in danger is a cosmic warning from the universe, separate from the villain, and the hero leaves training early in order to try to protect their loved one(s). 

in star wars, it’s more a happy coincidence than anything else that vader is able to use han and leia in this way. and furthermore, all vader really does (besides some dismemberment, whoops) is tell luke the truth about their family connection and ask him to rule the universe together. none of the heroes help him at all. then, when luke and co. get han back in the following movie, they end up defeating/killing the main antagonist who took him (jabba the hutt) and escaping more or less completely scot free. 

then in atla, aang leaves avatar training when he realizes katara is in danger, temporarily blocking his chakra. him and everyone else manage to find katara (and zuko) but then are pinned down by azula, who again, could not have known aang was going to have a cosmic vision and come running. none of the heroes (as zuko is an anti-hero at this point and no one he loves is at stake until the very end when he’s already made his choice and uncle is on the opposing side) help her or zuko, either.

for me, one of the things that makes cube hostage exchange theory interesting/compelling is the 1) purposeful manipulation of aaravos to callum, and 2) callum making an active choice that also compounds rayla’s character arc in all the ways, because it’s a genuinely hard call - one life for the safety of the world - but it’s something the show has drawn attention to time and time again. 

and this was all before Tales of Xadia rolled in with callum’s bio literally written as “I am beholden to my inner circle, not some silly kingdom. I value those close to me more than anyone or anything” like 

#still hits though bro #cube hostage exchange theory #i can think of one other show where the hero actually helps the villain in something like this #and it's motherfucking 'spider riders (2006)' bc that show is a masterpiece and i'll die on that hill #not to mention the parallel grace of rayla doing something brave/stupid to protect callum that she knows he'll hate #and then that being resolved by callum doing something brave/stupid to protect rayla than he knows she'll hate

At long last, a t-shirt for straight people:

#i got this at a drag caberet panto #i got the last one and i'm delighted #and the show was great #calltainn's face #i was trying something with my make up and it happened to end up almost exactly how i did my makeup in ~2006 #i like it #fuck all those hooded eyes makeup tutorials
