another ineffable husbands coded song i found to make y'all cry

While I was up to my usual shenanigans on tumblr, a friend suggested the song Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton for miscellaneous purposes. And I'm in the brainrot stage so guess who it reminded me of. Guess, maggots, who could it possibly remind you of? Not a certain demon who used to live in heaven until he fell from grace, but refused to return? Surely not him? Judge for yourselves, the lyrics are below the Spotify link. Hm.

TEARS IN HEAVEN - ERIC CLAPTON Would you know my name? If I saw you in heaven Would it be the same? If I saw you in heaven I must be strong And carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven Would you hold my hand? If I saw you in heaven Would you help me stand? If I saw you in heaven I'll find my way Through night and day 'Cause I know I just can't stay Here in heaven Time can bring you down Time can bend your knees Time can break your heart Have you begging please Begging please Beyond the door There's peace, I'm sure And I know there'll be no more Tears in heaven Would you know my name? If I saw you in heaven Would you be the same? If I saw you in heaven I must be strong And carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in heaven

Season 2 Episode 6, anyone?

Finally got the Deep Cut amiibo, and decided to touch them up a little! Not Big Man though; he’s perfect as is. Added some blush to Shiver’s cheek and nose (also shoulder and elbows, but you can’t really see them here) as well as recoloring her eye mask (the red goes over a little too far, but I had to cover the old color). Frye I mostly made her head thing more orange and changed her lip color (they’re not red in game…), also made her nose a little more orange like her ears (but it’s hard to see here).

#splatoon #delete later #maybe #shiver’s pink nose turned out so cute I feel like it needs to be shared #for the blush I saw someone recommend (for a different figure) sandpapering some (not oil) pastels #used white and a little red and dusted it on then blew off the excess #it’s nice bc if you mess up you can just wash it off (with a damp slightly soapy tissue or w/e) #(be careful not to get the base wet it might stop working)

You like Doctor Who AND Black Sails???? Absolutely chef kiss, cannot believe we share a brain

yeah, I did for a hot second have a separate blog for Black Sails because I actually made this one to be specifically not fandom-related (3 years on and... well.....) so I'm slowly bringing my black sails posting over here instead, fuckit!

thing about Black Sails for me is that on the whole I find it such a perfectly constructed bit of storytelling, with critique that has already been formulated better by other people, that I never know quite what to say about it that hasn't been said, youknow?

it's the show that I've watched that has felt the most like reading a book, with every season leading into one another and the themes introduced in s1 wrapping up in s4, and every piece interacting with one another, and you have to trust that the questions and thematic concepts raised at the beginning have real weight and will go places, which in this day and age of TV is a big ask, because most of the time a TV show has to work one season at a time/doesn't plan that far ahead, lest it get cancelled and/or stretches into depressing perpetuity

(or it's Doctor Who of course, which is just its own monster/mythology at this point, moreso than perhaps any other show, I'd say including Star Trek perhaps...)

but yeah, Black Sails. that's a journey that really matters, you get to the end and you've been holding your breath since probably s2, and you're realising that this is something that TV can do -- I think other shows that have manage the closest (for me) have been miniseries like Chernobyl or Pride & Prejudice and the like, because they've had that clear knowledge that this is the episodes they have, this is where it starts and ends, these are the ways everything talks with one another (Chernobyl and Black Sails especially have in common that the ending makes one want to go back to the beginning, because it's a realisation of OH THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SAYING FROM DAY ONE!), but I've not seen it as strongly or as well-constructed (or... finished for that matter) in anything that had multiple seasons like this

+ youknow. multiple polyamorous relationships in different structures, multiple ways of discussing connection and love none of which are more important than the other for being a specific kind, multiple deconstructions of masculinity in popular mythology (pirates), banging sea battles and sword fights, plot moments that take your breath away, political commentary that makes you punch the air, and bits that have you going "OH I READ THIS BIT IN TREASURE ISLAND!!!" (but also you don't need to have read treasure island to watch it... potentially OH YEAH THIS GUY WAS A CYBORG IN TREASURE PLANET 😂)

Black Sails is kind of special. Truly one of a kind

EDIT: ALSO WANTED TO SAY HELL YEAH HIGH FIVE FOR BLACK SAILS AND DOCTOR WHO!

#actually the show for me that hits the closest is Spartacus which I dooont tend to recommend because it is quite brutal/acquired taste #but despite its lead actor dying of cancer it still has that connective tissue from first to last season INCLUDING a prequel season 2 #(which was written because the actor was in hospital for his cancer so not planned and yet thematically resonant) #AND two lead characters being played by other actors halfway through (including again aforementioned lead because of the cancer) #but it was spartacus tht made me believe black sails knew what it was doing because it similarly has a very bleak setting/narrative #that ultimately is about hope and storytelling and myth-making #black sails #maybe i should talk about it more #it's just so very precious to me

It's unconscionable that someone as hot as me should have to deal with health problems 😤

Well, my current Leverage hyperfixation has now manifested in the form of this fanvid... I have not made a fanvid in well over 10 years... Yikes.

Hope you enjoy! I've had the idea for a fanvid to this song stuck in my head for a couple weeks now! And, yes, it includes clips from Redemption.

I hate getting unsolicited advice from people

"hey I have these questions about MPFL reconstruction & other patella stabilizing surgeries and I know some people here have gotten them...."

"those surgeries are not recommended to treat EDS"

are we just going to ignore the miserable malalignment syndrome and other deformities affecting my patella and trochlear groove then?? are we just gonna ignore some of the primary reasons for my knee surgery?? you do not know me or my medical conditions. when I'm asking a question about these surgeries I am not asking for advice on whether or not I should get them.

#also they can be recommended for EDS in the case of severe and frequent dislocations #.... like the ones I have #they're just done with donor tissue instead of an autograph

Gray Shelter/Gray Currents Ep 3

This show continues to have more impact in a 20 minute episode than most series manage their entire run. It respects its audience.

This is a bitter thing to say.

Also, the last line of the episode…

Ep 4 is available but I need some time to process this first before continuing.

I was looking for tissues online

And I suddenly remembered this scene from Kotaro lives alone

Where how there's this particular part suggesting that Kotaro had to eat tissues for sometime, and which is why he still buys high quality expensive nutrients tissues

And then the manga artist guy tells him that he no longer needs to buy those tissues anymore and then his realisation

And my heart just kinda you know? Felt a tinge remembering that.

It's such a minute thing, but it's not.

[my-current-obsession]

I’ve discovered something new and potentially helpful (and kind of amusing, if nothing else) about the early-mid game of Rune Factory 4 - if your human companions are knocked out when it hits 19:00 (which is when they will leave unless you have LV 7 affinity or higher), then even after they’re healed or you move to a new location, they still won’t leave. It seems the game only checks to see if they should leave exactly once, at 19:00, and instead of automatically waking up to leave or just leaving immediately once they’re back up, if they happen to be down when the check happens, then they’ll stay with you however long you want.

If you plan things right you can bypass them leaving and spend several extra hours training/exploring with whoever you want, which is really helpful!

#rune factory #rf4 #rune factory 4 #i discovered this while exploring the yokmir cave with margaret and xiao pai #since xiao pai is made of tissue paper she was KO'd when it happened to hit time but margaret was hanging on and promptly peaced out #but then i healed xiao pai and she just... never left. i continued exploring with her until i hit the checkpoint/shortcut #and then finally bid farewell to her at like 2 in the morning. and she only has lv 5 friendship for the record #note that if you want to exploit this i recommend using two people who CAN'T heal #you can't account for when healers will recover/revive everyone but if YOU'RE sole healer that's not an issue #so you can deliberately let your friends get killed just before time runs out and then heal them afterwards. :)

Don't know that one. What's it about? What genre? Is it fun?

#I'm not gonna pay for international shipping for a book blindly again #Last time I bought a book based on someone praising how gay it was and how good it's representation was #It turned out the main couple had been a thing briefly in the past but wasn't in the book's present #And while it had many flashbacks to the past timeline it was less about seeing them be together and more like #Character A saying something and the story stopped happening so character B could explain the thing at character A #Like 'oh you're experiencing periods. This is what that means what causes it and how to treat the symptoms.' #And 'oh you're bisexual. This is the dictionary definition of the word this is the etymology of the word' #Like one of the characters was alledgedly street smart thief but for some reason she had never heard of periods before #I was told they had great chemistry but all I got shown was a person shaped dictionary and a blank wall that got things explained to #I was clearly not the target audience for that one (I know what bisexual means! Stop lecturing like I'm an idiot and let me see the story!) #Though at least that book treated animals like actual animals and knew how logistics worked #Unlike this OTHER book I once bought on internet recommendation #That had me continuously go 'that's not how falcons work. That's not how horses work. That's not how weather works. #'that's not how winter works. Have you ever even seen snow? For fuck's sake stop rubbing frostbites! You're gonna cause tissue damage!' #...... #Sorry did not mean to tag a wall of text #I've just spent too much money on books I bought on anonymous recommendation and ended up not having good time

Lily did not like going to the vet 0/10 very scary

#Lily is ok. she went in because she was limping and I wanted to make sure she didn't need anything more than cage rest and pain relief #the vet initially thought her leg might be broken but thankfully x-rays showed that it's not #Lily does not recommend having a soft tissue injury either but she'll heal soon #degu #cute #petblr #the girls #Lily #vet trip

We're cutting the cord on Netfilx at the end of this month, so I'm trying to focus on original series and movies from the platform. I've worked my way through Midnight Mass, after putting it off for years, and guys.

If you only use Netflix for one month, this is a must-see series.

Like many Flanagan projects, it will enrage you, tire you, make you ball like a baby. Both feel beaten down and inspired, and the meditations on grief, of very human flaws, thematic elements mirroring each other and coming together so neatly by the end. This is the level of cathartic sorrow that I could only dream of touching (and god help any readers if I figure it out), but it's still so damn hopeful. You never leave a Flanagan series feeling that all is lost ('Usher' may beg to differ, but we shall see, it's up next). There is always hope, a sense of comfort, a sense of reassurance even through all the tears. Netflix has seriously fucked up, letting this guy go.

I wish Mike Flanagan and his recurring actors the absolute best, because that's exactly what they are.

#midnight mass #tv #limited series #mike flanagan #horror #I can't recommend this show enough #but only watch if you're emotionally prepared and have enough tissues
