"Simply put he crapped. Crapped a hell of a lot. That isn't a bad thing in itself, but the fact that he'd do it at the ground, in our dressing room, just before the game got on our nerves somewhat . Especially if the dressing room was small - a stink like that in such a confined space can get a little overpowering. Often he'd go three or four times in the space of 10 minutes.

I really think the fandom should finally accept that Show!Alicent is NOT gonna be a Cersei, at least for the early stages of the show. She is much more compassionate, much more selfless, probably the most selfless character of the entire show so far. She always tries to find a compromise between the ambition of her father, her friendship with Rhaenyra, and Viserys' whims, barely thinking of her own position, despite her political awareness. You can tell by her looks to Rhaenyra and to Viserys she sees how much empathy she has for the both of them, in their discussion with them how much she wants the best for them, despite the fact it doesn't benefit HER, or her father for that matter. Heck, we even see her disobey by proxy to her father, by not talking about succession shenanigans to Viserys after she read Corlys' letter. Her empathy is her biggest strength, and her biggest flaw in this game. And it is fascinating to watch her evolve at court, playing this incredibly tough balancing act between her father's ambition and her love for Rhaenyra and Viserys

OUGH thinking about Phillip Morgan's hands as a defining feature of his character.... Phillip tightening the rope that kills Kenneth with his hands... Brandon gently pulling the gloves off of Phillip's hands... Phillip playing the piano with his hands... Phillip opening the champagne bottle for Brandon with his hands... Phillip breaking the glass with his hands... Phillip cutting getting cut on the stem and spreading blood on his hands... Phillip getting his fortune read by his hands... Phillip grabbing and aiming the gun with his hands... "these hands will bring you great fame"

The main role of clockworks had obviously been for them to fight in the wars for Valencia, but their secondary purpose was to entertain Valencians and act as their servants. They were seen as objects and treated as nothing more.
So when Gazpaccio built Kane and regarded him as family, as his own son, it was seen as strange and impractical. He was using Kane to assist him with toy-making and gain vengeance on others - there really was no need to see and treat him as something more, but Gazpaccio still welcomed and cared for him as his own flesh-and-blood regardless.
One of the influences he (unintentionally) left on Kane was this concept of relationships - as Kane viewed his own creations as his family, just like his father did with him.

they could've gone much harder with the gender neutrality of arlecchino's design (why does every female character need fucking high heels) but you have no idea how insane it makes me that lyney and lynette refer to arlecchino as 'father'. the fact that lyney calls her 'father' and 'lady arlecchino' and 'the knave' interchangeably, and it isn't really drawn attention to in any way, is just so cool and so gender. I expected that gnc arlecchino would just be the stuff of headcanons once she came into the story properly, so it's a pleasant surprise to see them leaning into it somewhat

I say this in the most loving way possible, how the fuck can you write the most expressive and magical tags ever?? How do you have the mental energy to form words? 50% I can only say "nice post op". You inspire me to spread positivity to everyone but I literally can't be this positive and kind all the time. Just want to send you love and know that I appreciate you <3
HKJGH AW RED!! :'] <3 it does take a lot of energy, i understand :'0 i keep a lot of cool art in my tumblr drafts. the art stays in there until i have energy to type all my thoughts out. a lot of things stay stuck in there… i try to make sure art from my friends get out soon though :0 don't feel bad if you can't type a lot!! anything you can manage is okay! no one can be positive and kind all the time, and that's normal! just do what you can. i promise it's enough. (<- these are things i need to remind myself too <3)
a lot of it is literally just me needing to scream hkjfh, i have a lot of thoughts and i love sharing them always. i love rambling, can you tell? (<- joke) also i have a lot of love to give and i love artists and their creations. like WOW someone made a thing!! and they wanted to share it with the world!! AND I GET TO SEE IT!!! i GOTTA tell them i enjoy it!!!!!
it's also my empathy acting up because im also an artist!! and he's like "hey!! you love people writing nice tags on *your* art!! imagine if you were this artist, wouldn't you be happy to see someone tagging it with nice things? :)!" and im like yeah!! if this makes me happy, i should make other people happy too :3
ANYWAY I APPRECIATE YOU TOO RED YOU'RE DEAR TO ME!! SENDING LOVE BACK!!!! <33
