#there are way more

[youngerfrankenstein]

I’m in the mood so

Things That Actually Happened in the Professor Layton Series

Luke can talk to animals, this is never addressed.

A man gets so distraught about his crush having a boyfriend his hair and moustache go permanently pointy.

A giant ancient robot army attacks the earth.

An escaped lab rabbit with human intelligence gives you a couple of riddles and tells you to fuck off.

Someone creates a to scale copy of parts of London under the city to create a time-travel hoax for an elaborate revenge scheme.

Someone travels through time.

There was a video game movie and it was good!

Someone leaves a clue to a murder in how a sandwich was stacked.

A talking dog shows up to a woman who is unimpressed, he becomes her assistant.

A machine gun made from old slot machine parts is somehow more effective than the real machine guns in the scene.

A guy sham marries someone presumed dead’s girlfriend so they could wait for him to come back together.

All the main characters of one game die and are ressurected.

A bee saves your riddles for a while, then he gets whacked by a lady who saves them for a while.

Miasma theory of disease is real I guess? Since someone gets cured of a terminal illness with fresh air.

There was a village sacrificing young women to a dragon, except not really, except they thought they were.

An old guy thought he never aged because he was high on hallucinogenic gas for decades.

There’s a man who just shows up literally anywhere because he got lost.

Neither of the protagonist’s names are his given ones, this is something he did not know.

#Professor Layton #There are way more #I guess some of these are spoilers #But I think the games have been out long enough #I don’t remember the spin-offs super well sorry

i know twitter screenshots are mostly cursed things on this website, especially these days, but I just want everyone on tumblr to see the Twitter post where everyone translated Dr. Refaat Alareer's poem "If I must die" into different languages. Genuinely the most touching thing the internet has given us in a while.

#there are way more #if I must die #good people still exist on twitter btw

If You’re Anything Like Me + evermore parallels

(and also hoax)

‘you promise people the world, because that’s what they want from you. you like giving them what they want… but darling, you have to stop.’ —> ‘I gave it my all. he gave me nothing at all, then wondered why I left.’

‘your superstitions were the lone survivors of the shipwreck.’ —> ‘when I was shipwrecked, I thought of you.’

‘Rest In Peace, to your naive bravado…’ —> ‘if the shoe fits, walk in it till your high heels break.’

‘you never wanted to lock your door, your secret garden gate or your diary drawer’ —> ‘but if someone comes at us, this time I’m ready’

‘didn’t want to face the you you don’t know anymore, for fear she was much better before… but darling, now you have to’ —> ‘she’s still 23 inside her fantasy, how it was supposed to be’ / ‘can’t remember what I used to fight for’ / ‘you know I left a part of me back in New York. you know the hero died, so what’s the movie for’

‘if you’re anything like me, there’s a justice system in your head’ —> ‘misery, like the war of words I shouted in my sleep’ / ‘my sleepless night, my winless fight, this has frozen my ground’

‘for names you’ll never speak again’ —> ‘the shape of your name still spells out pain’

‘and you make your ruthless rulings. each enemy turns to steel’ —> ‘your nemeses will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing’

‘they become the bars that confine you in your own golden little prison cell’ —> ‘I knew you, living in a gold age, sneak into my birdcage’

‘but darling, that is where you meet yourself’ —> ‘and I was catching my breath, floors of a cabin creaking under my step / and I couldn’t be sure. I had a feeling so peculiar, this pain wouldn’t be for evermore.’

‘you couldn’t recognize the face of love until they stripped you of your shiny paint’ —> ‘and you passed right by / I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides’

‘threw your victory flag away, and you saw the ones who wanted you anyway’ —> ‘when I was shipwrecked, I thought of you’

‘darling, later on you will thank your stars for that frightful day’ —> ‘pushed from the precipice, climbed right back up the cliff / long story short, I survived’

‘if you’re anything like me, I’m sorry. but darling, it’s going to be okay’ —> ‘I had a feeling so peculiar, this pain wouldn’t be for evermore.’

#this is a rough list #90% of these are from long story short and evermore #there are way more #but still #parallels #reputation poems #if you’re anything like me #evermore #folklore #hoax

my life has been taken over by WIPs

which should I work on next?

#way too much Joel miller in there #these are the ones I am working on most times #there are way more #send help #and something to eat I'm hungry

The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you're being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.

Don't waste your time being too cool to have fun, y'know?

#it's hard sometimes not to be embarrassed when people tell you you should be and im still working on it #but life is so much more fun that way

“long hair on guys doesn’t make them less masculine. think keanu reeves, jason momoa, danny trejo, or the guy at your local dive bar who rides a motorcycle”

*the crowd nods*

“so long hair doesn’t necessarily determine masculinity”

*the crowd, more hesitant, still nodding*

“butches can have long hair—“

*GUNSHOT*

#the tedtalk i would give if i could #if i see ‘they’re not butch because they have long hair’ one more time i will flip a table #frustrating frustrating frustrating #also this is NOT in any way a knock on my short haired butches ily #op #bestof

as a kid i thought i would graduate from kid problems like cleaning my room to adult problems like jobs and taxes. but instead i have a job and taxes and still have to clean my room. cleaning my room is a lifetime problem. i will never stop having to put my markers away before bedtime. this is a rude way for aging to work.

#original #i meant to do my taxes tonight #instead i played video games and then colored in my coloring book #i looked at the time and realized i needed to put my markers away and then felt some ways #i should go back to cross stitch it felt more respectable

[caffeinatedopossum]

Me when I remember something I said ages ago that was wrong or my values no longer align with

#my path of self improvement has been less self righteous and personally gainful #and more just. a lot of embarrassment and pain #like i wouldnt change the path i took to get where i am now but i wouldve chosen to travel that path sooner because omg #nothing hits me like the fear that future me will feel the same way about right now me that right now me feels about past tense me

[eosofspades]

i didn't have "i'm broken" teenage asexual angst i had "i'm literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks" perception issues

#oh the experience of being 13 years old and seeing all my friends talking about wanting to have sex and obsessing over it #and being like 'we are all literally WAY too young to be having sex what the actual fuck are you talking about #why are you even considering it when we have much more important things to worry about. like how much middle school sucks' #you know what though. i still stand by this. that was an entirely reasonable thought to have and i WAS being normal about it #anyway #mine #asexuality

internat habits that are good to learn

#patch me through to palaven command #yes i drew this with a cat and not lion because its more hashtag relatable that way #comics

sleeping arrangements (not sure tara would ever actually deign to sleep in the same 20ft radius as shovel but who can resist those big shiny insectoid black eyes 🥺)

plus:

#gale dekarios #shadowheart #astarion #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #my art #want to promote a greater shovel presence in the fanbase. where is all the shovel content. where is my beautiful daughter #she is gale's familiar. to me. #he may not necessarily *want* shovel #but it's too late now #he's her wizard it might be more apt to say #tara is not in any way shape or form a familiar she's like. his aunt. #also i have GOT to develop a faster way of making things like i have so many dumb joke ideas i can’t be rendering shit. unsustainable! 😭😭

when u go to write a mentally ill person in ur story you are presented two options. the first option is to write your mental illness realistically as you actually experience it with all the ups and downs and people who are like you will resonate with it and feel seen. except every person who reads instagram infographics on mental health that uses the phrase narcicisst for anyone who does anything that crosses them and unironically call themself a dark empath will call you scary and tell you that youre demonizing mentally ill people

the second option is to lie and write inspiration porn for those people to get hard to

#just kidding the third option is i drive myself insane #trying to find a way to write someone like me in a way i may be respected as a human being #without shaving away the more frightening aspects of my experience or life #challenge level . impossible. i will die. or they will make youtube 3 hour long rant videos about it someday #scratchpost #txt

if there's one thing this last episode has affirmed for me about Alastor it's that he FUCKING HATES being reminded that he's not the most powerful creature in hell.

Like, he hates being ignored by Carmilla when she says she doesn't care why he was gone

He hates Lucifer ON SIGHT

He threatens to KILL Husk when he dares to mention that Alastor is working for someone more powerful than him

and now this.

Alastor freaking out because he almost died. Something almost killed him. He can fucking die. There is something more powerful than him out there. And it's not something he can ignore or brush off because it almost killed him.

Alastor hates the reminder that he's not as powerful as he tells people he is. He isn't indestructible, he isn't invincible. And he fucking hates that.

#hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel spoilers #al talks about things #OUUGH HE'S MAKIN ME INSANE #he isn't blorbo yet #but he could be #anyway I've seen people say that he's freaking out because he's realizing he maybe does care #No???? that's not it??? #He's scared because he just got the shit beat out of him by an angel??? #He got reminded that there are things out there that are more powerful than him? #that's why he immediately jumps to trying to figure out a way out of his deal #because he wants to get out from under whoever is more powerful than him!!! #hazbin hotel alastor #hazbin alastor

once you hit adulthood a day will come when you’re suddenly like VEGETABLES 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 and it never goes away

#talks #its not about previously disliking vegetables. #I specified adult just because of the way my body started decomposing and rotting once i went meals without. #also i was just making a joke abt myself getting randomly more into vegetables one day. its really not the kind of one sentence post #that should justify weirdly accusatory assumptions

[angelsdean]

me whenever i see /pos and /hj: why are you calling me a piece of shit and what do handjobs have to do with any of this :/

#this is joke. light-hearted or /lh if you will #but fr there's GOT to be a better way to indicate these things. esp the /pos one #like i'd rather ppl just write out the whole word it's only a few more letters #vic.txt

[cronchy-baguette]

what do you know of loss?

no words for how much I adore these two characters and the ways their journeys parallel one another's... take this as part character study (what if they helped each other heal!) and part ship content (they were made for each other...) anyways. the shadowzel illness never stops

#baldurs gate 3 #bg3 #laezel #shadowheart #crying screaming sobbing #shadowzel #more like shartzel #lae'zel #character design #character art #digital illustration #character designer #comic #the way their character arcs are so beautiful to me #it's JOEVER!
