You versus the guy she tells you not to worry about

#i did look this up a few hours after i reblogged that post yesterday(? or was it the other day) I DO BELIEVE IT'S SHELLEY #if only for the fact that it was for most of a century being identified as LEIGH HUNT instead! yeah right #that is not leigh hunt in 1822 #i recommend googling the uva library article about it. it shows the full portrait which the telegraph does not in its preview #and that one is also behind a paywall so i couldn't even reeeead it #thank you university of virginia <3 #it is not slacking for information btw. there's a forthcoming article by the person who propisitioned that this is shelley #i look forward to it #percy shelley #art #william edward west #romanticism #portraits #sorry amelia curran. your painting is still better than i could do #but i am feral at the thought of having such a professional likeness #THAT IS A REAL MAN BEFORE US #with such believable and realistic features #i want to believe #i know without a proper title given by the painter we'll never really know #but i a million times will accept this is shelley before i accept that the cobbe portrait is shakespeare lol #whenever i see that being published as shakespeare im like. sir. that's clearly thomas overbury #chandos portrait stans rise #sorry i dont often post about it but i am obsessed with likenesses of famous ppl especially disputed ones #especially disputed ones before the innovation or proliferation of photography!!! cuz wow!!!!

(x) (x) As good as the writing is on Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, can you imagine how much they could have leveled up if they’d had some actual Mexican writers, not just Tony Dalton on his smoke break or whatever

#better call saul #tony dalton #i love the 'epazote' lore #what's the other one where he was like he read 'cilantro' in the script #and was up all night sweating before his first scene like 'i can't be that guy on the first day but nor can i not address this' #like 'I'LL DO IT IF YOU WANT NO WORRIES BUT -' #and no kidding lol #someone offers you a taco like 'hey man i put cilantro in it ;)' it's like uhhh yeah i sure hope you did?? #anyways yeah i've definitely heard the 'spanish script by google translate' criticism before and defs believe it #very telling that i can follow most everyone's spanish on the show exCEPT his lol #the slang he added makes such a difference!! #te la vas a pelarrrrrrrrrrr

So I saw a screenshot of Ralph without his hat (for his wedding outfit + I think a DLC outfit didn't have it?) and honestly. There's a reason he wears it. It's unfair if he doesn't. Olive Town really is just "hot bisexuals in your area" and they would thrive if they advertised it as such.

#sos pioneers of olive town #ralph #jack #i will never not love jack ok i have been playing again and i cant help it #once i unlock giant bear carvings to craft i make him the happiest man on the planet #its just something i have to do ok i love jack a lot #i do still really enjoy bringing ralph soup to the woods like a loser and handing it over while he eats lunch #but the point im trying to make is i cant stop loving jack and it really hinders my desire to romance others lmao #also i was googling some refs of ralph after i found the wedding ss because it was a lil cut off and i wanted the full look #and i saw a lot of questions like is poot worth it or comments about how its incredibly avg for a game #or how its not as great as past installments and im like ........... but the cast is so endearing to me #again its different strokes for different folks and not everyone will love the same farming sim as i will but still #dont be mean to my olive town babies...... #the fact there are so many cutscenes in there of families interacting and moms being mom friends and gossip buddies #the fact there are so many cutscenes just about how these people live their lives is so wholesome to me #like sure the farmer is featured in the heart events #but there are so many where you arent the center ! youre just a bystander to like #a bro putting his younger bros motorcycle in the museum and the museum owner being mad theres a motorcycle in the museum #while then having multiple other people show up like YO SICK BIKE YOU GUYS HAVE THIS STUFF IN THE MUSEUM #while the younger bro is beaming cause thats his baby he loves his motorcycle and you better love it too #like its just so fascinating to exist in the town but not be the entire reason everyone keeps on going about their lives #yeah you interact and befriend them and you do tasks to help develop the island but it doesnt feel like thats why people like you #which is really important to me bc i feel like i have to do things to make people like me #i have to have a reason to interact with people irl or its just me being in their way #and poot lets me just live alongside people peacefully and talk to lil harvest sprites that hand me food and rocks and logs #anyway that is SO MUCH propaganda for a story of seasons game that no one asked for thanks gnight

The new sonic screwdriver has been shown and it looks to have circular gallifreyan on it, I tried to translate it but got nothing, but I also just am not great at translating it. I figured you’d be the one to ask, can you find any actual words on Ncuti’s new sonic? Or just what are your thoughts about the new sonic :3

Hi! So as you mentioned in your other message, the sonic screwdriver is supposed to say “the sharpness of the tongue defeats the sharpness of the warriors”. However I’ve got other thoughts so I’m gonna do a bit of a vent anyway haha.

First things first, I say “supposed to” for a reason, because the phrase is missing all of the dot details that would make it legible per the Sherman’s Gallifreyan system, and it’s chock full of typos. The orientation of the words also differs, in that they’ve rotated every word slightly so the first letter is whatever’s closest to the outer edge of the screwdriver; in Sherman’s, the starting point doesn’t rotate like that.

Even accounting for the orientation change, the screwdriver currently reads “the tatpness fo the tongee befeets the tatpns fo the wat?iots”. Which….. lmfao.

So the net-net is that the BBC stole co-opted a fan’s system, and then used it wrong, even though there are literally people out there (like yours truly) who would jump at the chance to design an accurate and beautiful Gallifreyan piece for use on the show. For free even! For the sheer pleasure of adding “featured on the BBC” to my LinkedIn!

And all this because the BBC is too lazy to create their own consistent Gallifreyan system, but also too greedy to appropriately credit the artists whose work they’ve stolen for the show — artists plural! Sherman and Sirkles and who knows who else! — or to stop levying copyright strikes against other fans using Sherman’s fanmade system. When the BBC fully steals a fan’s work, it’s an easter egg, but when fans reference Doctor Who when making artwork in an unlicensed fanmade system, it’s theft of intellectual property? Make it make sense. (Spoiler: you can’t!)

I wish I could just feel overjoyed to see the fan community’s love for Doctor Who and interest in Gallifreyan incorporated into the show! In a different universe, this could be such a love letter between creator and fandom, a testament to the way that media and fandom weave together into something bigger than the sum of its parts. But in THIS universe, it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

#Gallifreyan #doctor who #bbc #bbc doctor who #ncuti gatwa #I wouldn’t be surprised if whoever did the Gallifreyan for the screwdriver didn’t realize that it’s not a canon system #probably some underpaid prop designer googled ‘Gallifreyan’ for inspo and found the GTH translator #but it’s so so so sleazy of the BBC and the DW team to not have safeguards in place to prevent Sherman’s from ending up in the show #anyway literally just commission me instead #my work looks better AND it’s accurate

#im thinking about making the move ngl! maybe keep both open? or keep the sale for the ko-fi shop and big cartel for the new/better things? #with big cartel i could actually show up in google search results (properly) sjdjdjdj #that's a huuuge part im missing out on with just my Etsy shop :/ #vik does polls #polls

Also, what’s it called when your life feels like off? Like I’m almost watching from the bleachers. I know that has a term and I can’t be fucked to remember it right now but I’m getting that weird almost out of body feeling I’ve had before. It’s not making me panic but it’s giving me a weird personality.

#I’m fine before anyone decides to freak out #I think it’s a stress thing? #I just have no idea how to google this #but yeah it happened in high school and my brief stint in college #I go a few days feeling like a spectator in my own body and then The Big Panic shows up and I feel better after? #better might not be right but it’s something #ehhhhhhh I hate this meat suit get me out Shinji

Gravik is that kind of dude who finds one good outfit & then sticks with it.

#I respect it... But I also think he could do better... #When he showed up in that coat & was thinking: uhhh fancy #He literally has two outfits... #A normal one & a business outfit #The fact that he wore the business outfit to see talos but not when he was meeting the members of the Rat... Is saying something #Rat - I don't know how to write the English word for it & I am to lazy to Google it :) #Anyway... #secret invasion spoiler #gravik

The Ultimate Sterek Supercut - on vimeo

#teen wolf #sterek Rights #the lore #this is alltheir scenes. yes it's only 1hr16 which appears to feed the 'it was all made up from nothing' side of the argument #BUT - u have to realise that the showrunner CHOSE to drastically reduce their interactions once he became aware of the sterek fandom #truly a fandom has never been turned on the way that tw fandom was. the backtracking . Incredible to remember #was it bc d o'b hit it big w the maze runner films. was it bc tyler p was mad people paid more attention to the ship than to him #the main character.... was it JD's feeling of spiralling loss of control #this was the first fandom i remember ppl CAMPAIGNING for the ship and saying it was literally going to happen. and - more than that - #saying this ship was BETTER than certain other ships. beCAUSE it was going to happen. and /or bc it COULD happen #and they were not totally wrong right? bc this show made such a big deal out of being gay friendly 'this is a world without homophobia' &c #And yet that was a shallow statement bc the show had such a twink-centric view of sexuality. I saw a gif where Tyler P talked about how #great the show had been for the LGBT community and - I remember plenty of Gs but no Ls Bs or Ts u know #hah ok i just googled . there was a one episode lesbian couple - one of them DIED and the other went on to hook up w stiles. yell. #representación. #Vimeo #vids #reference #sterek

KASPER THOSE TAGS. THE IMPACT THIS SCHOLARSHIP CAN HAVE ON THE GUNNAR HENDERSON BLEEDING LOVE CINEMATIC UNIVERSE

GHBLCU!!! I can’t even look at the tags I wrote my own self without blacking out bc rhi’s scholarship captures SUCH a specific and visceral mood that yeets me violently back to high school and college, but it also captures the vibes around certain men so so well. Like yeah!! If I was Gunnar Henderson having to be around chosen one Adley Rutschmann who is so kind and so big and so goofy and so disinterested in me romantically but loves me wonderfully like a brother, if I was Gunnar sitting on the couch watching The Dark Knight with Adley, both of us sprawled out and kinda paying attention but also not really because neither of us actually wanted to watch the Dark Knight, Adley wanted to watch Casablanca and Gunnar wanted to watch V for Vendetta and they just ended up on The Dark Knight rather than re-litigate an argument about how many times you can watch Casablanca without Humphrey Bogart becoming Your Thing, if I was Gunnar and I was kinda bored and I knew Adley was kinda bored and I could see him shifting restlessly on the couch like he wants to start that argument again anyway, then, yeah, I would be feeling some things. If I was Gunnar, I would kinda wish Adley would feel me up on the couch!!! A lot!!!!

#i had to google ‘’movies’’ for this post bc like any good small liberal arts college student who came of age in certain ways in baltimore i #could not remember the name of one single movie made ever that wasn’t ghibli except the social network and to kill a mockingbird #this ask no joke has taken me almost an hour to answer because i had a long ass tag tangent abt the baby o’s ending up at a burlesque show #getting targeted by burlesque dancers and whether that was relatable for anyone else in their 20s in baltimore or if that was just me #but i realized it’s not relatable at all #like do i think adley would also say ‘’oh gosh’’ at a burlesque show yes but he’d probably play it off a lot better than me #every once in a while i think abt mining my baltimore collegetown experience for fic and then i’m like i barely left campus #you want a fic about breaking down sobbing in a class about hamlet bc people were bullying ophelia i’m your guy!! everything else that #happened to me happened without me having one single ounce of input or agency i just like ended up places and by virtue of being small #and wide-eyed and pretty sheltered growing up with zero street sense burlesque dancers were like wow. we gotta bully this kid so hard #which i don’t think is really the vibe that adley rutschmann gives off???? maybe i’m wrong. orioles scholars should engage #dude i should i have kept a timer on how long it took me to answer this ask #cage replies #pindergarten #i’m so sorry. i’m SO sorry

goddddd I have GOT to start making livable money independently I cannot fucking do this "having a job" shit anymore!!!!!!

#i don't get it! i don't get how anyone can do this!! #how do you people show up to work and get paid pennies to be dehumanized and disrespected for hours without going home #and immediately googling 'how to get away with arson' #two months is a better run than usual but today i officially hit the 'i need to quit this job immediately before i turn violent' stage #but i can't! i can't do that i am only barely surviving on the money i have right now :))) #it stings extra hard to be feeling this way at a job i actually felt a little optimistic when i started #it really is just me isn't it. i can't function like this

so every couple of months i remember Ergo Proxy and my brain stops working for a minute. (read: i'm trying to avoid working on my actual WIP so i decided to fuck around and find out how the ibis gouache brush works. it's weird.)

#brought to you by Daniel Grimsby's 'Kiri' cover #i'm a vincent law bug okay i admit it #that dude is so pathetic and whiny and sopping wet i love him #'Reeeeeee-Llllllll' SHUT UP you SIMP #not the greatest show ever made but i had fun with it and enjoyed a lot of the ideas. it had good potential. #lbr i just loved the dark atmosphere. i eat that shit up. #i do wish the ending had been handled a bit better- rather than going off into a semi-incoherent and convulted mess but you know #you can't win 'em all #i'm still mad i accidentally spoiled the twist for myself because i was a dumb bitch and googled the show lmao #ergo proxy #fanart #bug.art

the problem for me with both witcher s3 and wot s2—well, okay, one of a few problems, but the one i'm singling out at the moment—is that i've just reached a point with SFF where i've largely used up what little patience i ever possessed for the 'young trainee gets frustrated that they're not progressing faster and gets reckless' trope?

like it's not that it's not a plausible way for someone to behave, it totally is! but. i don't know. i need a, like, decade-long break where i just get stories starring middle-aged people who have, probably painfully, learned some damn patience and slow perseverance…

#tvblogging #also honestly #bookblogging #anyway i grudgingly did a google bc it's good to take my own medicine wrt researching at least a little before you hit post #so i might try some of the things that came up #but like. idk. really at some level i just want‚ idk‚ someone to option a tarma and kethry show or sth #Competent Cheerfully Jaded Mercs Have SFF Adventures #…is this my cue to revisit ancient misty lackey in 2023. possibly. god. #but like. i just want more coherent writing and less petulant teens #wot is better than witcher and also has moiraine but like. we're spending too much time with the babs. i want my adult qpr back :( #also obviously all of this is Not Unrelated 2 my personal situation where i've like. aged out of really relating to Youth #but remain pretty deeply alienated by most (cishet‚ reproductive‚ *productive* for that matter) visions of adulthood #so it's like. where are the narratives abt ppl who are out of sync with the expected narratives #but also bc i'm having such a bitch of a time with life i'm very hard to please bc crankiness comes much more easily than pleasure #anyway. unfortunately i got the gnothi seauton bit down but in itself that gets you precisely nowhere #just like. deep in the omphaloskeptic hole. emphasis on skeptic

What's the difference meant to be between (tell me about the sword" and "write up a description"?

Okay I know you said you got it but I'm gonna go ahead and answer this anyways because I think people have been pretty confused and I could probably clarify it better.

So the "tell me about the sword" box is intended to be for you to gush about the sword. You don't have to write professionally you can just gush directly to me because I'm the only person who is going to see it. If no one provides me any fully written out descriptions for that particular sword, I'll be pulling information from these boxes to construct my own summary of the sword to post alongside the polls.

The "write up a description" box is for you to use if you'd like to clean up your description in the box above and make it more professional looking so it'll look better publicly on the polls. Cutting out all the fluffy language and grammar errors and whatnot. It's by no means a required box to fill out, it's mostly there in case you'd like to skip the step of having me do my own research and write up my own descriptions, since in theory you're more familiar with the source material than I am.

The box can also be used to point me towards useful resources, i.e. if you found a really obscure wiki that you think would be better to pull from than the usual fandom wiki results that come up first. If you ever wrote a huge tumblr post breaking down every aspect of the sword or something, or know someone who has, you can link that here as well. It's just a way to help point me in the right direction.

Tl;dr, the first box is for you to write knowing I'm the only one who will see it. The second box is for either links to help me write my descriptions, or for you to try your hand at writing a description for me that will be seen by the public.

#the bladesmith answers #sword showdown #people keep sending me fandom links and im like. that's probably going to be the first thing that shows up when i google this sword anyways #i mostly want links cause like #when i was looking for info on the soulsborne swords all they would give me is sword stats and no lore stuff #so in that situation an actual soulsborne fan pointing me towards a source that would give me actual lore info was what i really needed #the 'write your own description' box is turning out to be a bit choppy in this round cause not everyone understands how to use it #but i think that's okay. it was an experiment #it'll probably help me in some capacity in the long run #but i do apologize for not clarifying this better #i think i need to come up with a word that specifies the descriptions i'll be using in the polls from just general 'describing the sword' #but i can't think of a word that works for that #summaries maybe? #idk

[lesbiangiratina]

… there are 2 testament centric chapters id love to scan even just for my own enjoyment but the thought of taking these books apart makes me sad. Maybe if i just. Squish it down hard enough itll look okay. I just want to have new testament images

#as far as i can tell theyre both really sweet ;-; #1 is genuinely just. testament epic depression. dizzy is trying to get them to take better care of themself (they arent eating?) #+ stop isolating themself but they dont think they deserve it. saying its punishment for their sins #and well eventually johnny is like actually i think making dizzy sad is a worse sin than killing people #and testament is like. oh god oh fuck. youre right. #so they say theyll come and visit more :) #the other is more lighthearted KIND OF #testament keeps popping up in weird placs on the ship to watch over dizzy #and johnny is like. hey you can leave she doesnt need you anymore its okay #and they fuck off. and johnny is like hm maybe i shouldnt have said that i feel kinda bad. i cant stop thinking about them #and then no exaggeration hes like oh jeez its been a while since testament showed up. what if they killed themself. DONT SAY THAT? #but its okay cuz then testament shows up and they have a puppy dog. theyve taken up rescuing animals (i think) . theyre happy about it #and the last panel is them surrounded by animals. i think they filled the ship with animals. #acknowledgement that they like animals… kliff says that about them in missing link. its not in the english version tho. #or maybe he says they like nature? i dont remember exactly. but close enough animals are in nature. its okay #I DIDNT MEAN TO TYPE THAT MUCH SORRY. to the small percentage of my followers who care about testament enough to read this. hope u enjoyed #MORE STUFF HAPPENS in these chapters im summarizing. poorly. also my understanding is based on google translate lol but i get the gist #the kat goes meow
