#where there's a whip there's a way

[thinkinginquenya]

In Order:

Ive been calling this one Walk Walk Finally A Town. On YouTube this seems to be called The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship Of It's My Book They'll Walk If I Tell Them To. My apologies to Tom Cardy for renaming it.

The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. The legend that is Leonard Nimoy singing about the legend that is Bilbo Baggins in the most cheerful song known to humanity.

Po-Ta-Toes. Boil 'em, mash 'em, boil 'em mash em.

Where There's A Whip There's A Way. From the Rankin/Bass Return of the King, in which the Orcs of Mordor are revealed to be musical geniuses and are aware of the caste system in which they are trapped.

They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard. -gard -gard -gard. I assume you know this one?

#lotr #ballad of bilbo baggins #tom cardy #they're taking the hobbits to isengard #boil em mash em stick em in a stew #where there's a whip there's a way

CROWLEY SSR THOUGHTS

there is zero basis for this, but I can't get this thought of my head

I don't know why I decided to draw it this way

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #(these will be relevant in a moment) #this isn't going to happen. but WHAT IF. #anyway i didn't get him (damnit birdman come home) so i had to look up his story #and let me tell you friends my findings were SHOCKING #crowley canonically likes vegetables which means that the crowley is revaan theory = BUSTED #crowley is sailor venus = CONFIRMED #(i know 'whip of love' is a saying but that's where my mind always goes) #DISCLAIMER: this is (mostly) a joke please continue to hold whatever theories and headcanons you want #but look. c'mon. look over here at this whiteboard i've covered in red yarn. #revaan being a picky eater has come up multiple times and there is an entire whole bit about how much he hated jerky and refused to eat it #and now they've made a point of talking about how crowley will eat almost anything and loOoOoves wild game meat especially #it's SO stupid but i can't help but read way too much into it #(this is tumblr if you don't want to see incredibly stupid overanalysis of anime guys then why are you HERE) #and i gotta hold on to something because otherwise whenever malleus and crowley are onscreen together i just keep going 'same hair color... #unless this is like. some kind of deep cover thing. #lilia doesn't recognize him because he saw him eat a green bean once and revaan would NEVER #crowley's secret is safe for another day #(serious hat on: i do think they're probably connected in some way) #(but there's something deeper going on that we're just not clued into yet that will hopefully explain things) #man forget revaan what if crowley whips off his mask and it turns out he was meleanor this whole time #wait hold on meleanor loves jerky. IT ALL FITS...

How did the empire rise in your wonderful Anakin raises leia AU?

aw I'm so glad you think it's wonderful!! RotS doesn't happen too different for the most part, but Anakin just reports Palpatine, Mace & Co go to kill Palps and get their asses kicked and Palps orders Order 66 and the Empire rises without its numero uno scary guy Darth Vader

#palps makes up for the lack of apprentice with inquisitors pretty fast #and probably does get another apprentice?? but i havent thought abt him much lolll #i'm not a HUNDRED percent on where anakin is when o66 happens he's either getting his shit mildly whipped at the temple bc hes v outnumbere #OR he's at padme's at first and heads to the temple once he sees It Going Down to try find survivors (and doesnt get his shit so whipped) #usually im faster at working out the details of AUs but both of these have Appeal loll so its hard to choose #either way he's got 1. loads of survivor's guilt and 2. feels like he caused all this even if he didnt complete his Descent #thanks for the ask! #skywalkers apart au

sneeping with his legs up over his head for some reason... weird boye

#cats #love the second picture... skrungly sleepy well rested boye face... #since he's an elderly boy now sometimes when he wakes up from a nap he looks a bit scruffy and squinty eyed #Hard to beleive he's like 15 though.. he still looks like a kitten to me.. due to his giant round creature eyes and childlike demeanor #I think it's interesting that like... baby cats are babies. kittens are kittens. and you can tell a cat is like 'young adult' phase #looking from like a few months to maybe 1yr or 2yrs.. but after that they just always look the same to me #a 5 yr old cat is a 10 yr old cat is a 15 year old cat. unless the cat in question is particulalry aged or youthful #I still have so so little energy... it's been icy here this week. like not even FUN but just scary icy even thoguh i lOOOVE the cold #and its my favorite weather. I think it'd be okay actually if I had a woodburning stove/fireplace/hearth thing. literally thats my only #concern with the power going out. I genuinely don't mind stuff like having to go to the bathroom in buckets or cook over a fire or do other #less conveninet things. Its just that if eveyrhtng is electric then you have no way to cook and all of that. well.. and I literally need #background noise to go to sleep lest my ocd sprials become so loud I am slowly driven into maddness.. but a few battery packs or something #and a phone with one downloaded video I could play on repeat is fine for that. I dont need internet. ANYWAY.. so so sad that my fav #orite season ever (winter) is here. and the first cold of the winter is like... just an ice storm that you cant even walk in. I #love like 4 feet of snow where you can play in it and stuff. But just a thin flat sheet of a few inches of ice over every imaginable surfac #is not really playable. the wind speeds are so high and so many trees fall it's actually not that safe to go hang out outside anyway unless #you were in a totally clear open field. which is SAD also because i love ice and high winds. i love to stand out there and get whipped in t #he face with ice crystals and feel like I'm in some dramatic movie or something. but alas.. the threat of being attacked by a falling tree. #I did go out some but again it's like. literallyyou cant walk on it. so I just squatted and dragged myself along the ground lol #One of my stories has a whole section where the main characters are trapped in a deadly cold environment for a week and have to use magic #to survive and etc. etc. so I'm always like.. ouuu.. I should go in the ice.. it's Writing Research actually.. *foolishly gets frostbite* #THOUGH yesterday I went on a harrowing evil journey down a bunch of icy hilly roads to go check on some person's cat because the cat #had been left in the house for like 5 days at that point with nobody to check on them and nobody else seemed to want to do anything #about it (like call all of the neighbors or try to get someone out there) so I just went myself with a roommate who agreed to drive me. #It seemed acting totally normal and I gave it more food and water but.. I am still worried about it.. Apparently the person will be able #to get back to their house tomorrow but.. I dont trust them. But I couldnt take the cat with me because it's like.. a stranger's cat #basically and also no carrier + very skittish.. so I feared if I just tried to carry them bare handed they'd definitely leap from my grasp #and then it'd be like.. sliding on a sheet of ice chasing a cat and so on.. I still think they need to be watched for health issues tho >:| #ANYWAY.... many cat adventures lately... and strange weather... I wish for a normal week without always so many Things Happening.. augh

my brain likes to bounce between aus and lately the lottery is landing back on lights out. im having many thoughts and uhhhh am i changing some things Again? yeah

#well. perhaps not change so much as Add #and those additions tweak certain things methinks #im more confident in this au now that i Know its pretty canon divergent i think #i can get a little more funky with it #before i wasnt sure how aligned it was so i was hesitant to actually do anything with it #but now! now! i know #i can craft the main body of the 'plot' instead of defaulting to the aftermath #im changing around what happens when and If it happens at all #frank still bites it tho. he needs to. shhhh go to sleep frankie its ok you'll be fine #more confident in what to do with wally and where events go and just yeah everything in general #absolutely unprompted #might actually be able to whip up a concrete outline for that possible fic! #im also changing the aftermath so fucking much and im having Fun with it #new troubles for everyone! more distress in new ways for them! #and transformative experiences for certain others!

circus/carnival au. ghost does extreme motorcycle stunts - globe of death, riding on his back wheel along tightropes that sort of thing - and soap is a fire swallower/dancer. soap is a roaming performer, he just finds empty spaces or bored people and starts twirling. he pretends not to notice that he always wanders towards a certain area at the same time every night to watch a certain masked daredevil defy gravity

#he thinks hes slick and ghost doesnt notice him in the crowd #completely forgetting that hes always carrying something that happens to be on fire #ghost couldnt miss him if he tried #one day off hes trialing fire whips #he loves the loud crack and the way the flame licks through the air #and maybe hes too impatient to practice with non flaming whips first #they keep whipping back at him and hes covered in soot and fine welts where the tip of the whip has cut through his shirt #and of all the times hes wanted ghost to talk to him this is NOT one of them #so when he finally gets a few good cracks in a row and breaks to celebrate he almost jumps out of his skin when he sees the masked rider #leaning against a trailer watching him #just mesmerised by the fire #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #cod ghost #cod soap #soap mactavish #soapghost #ghostsoap #ghoap #call of duty #cod mw2 #we’re a team. ghost team

I was rewatching hbomb’s video for the millionth time yesterday and the line “I don’t know why anyone would make video essays like this unless they were strictly in it for the money” stood out to me because if you replace “make video essays” with “write poetry” that perfectly describes my thoughts about Rupi Kaur.

#like #have y’all seen the videos where she’ll whip off a ‘poem’ in less than a minute? #cuz that made me completely lose all benefit of the doubt I had for her #you write poetry because you want to you need to because the emotions are trying to claw their way through your skin #and you need to find the words to describe them before they succeed #it should be fun to find new ways to say what’s already been said before but in your own way #and to combine words in artistic and satisfying ways #not just slapping seven to ten words on a page at random and then call it good #and this is not me being against ‘insta poetry’ #I love Amanda lovelace and one of my fav poets is Trista mateer #I just think poetry deserves the time and effort you’re able to put into it #anyway #james somerton #hbomberguy #why are you booing me i’m right

What are the similarities and differences between lloyd and the fsm personality wise?

We know that they are very similar when you look at their looks, history and powers but what about personality?

Personality-wise is definitely where they differ the most.

Sure, Lloyd mellows out and grows calm/patient/wiser with age, but the FSM has always been like that, even in the worst of his moments. Unlike Lloyd, who's either at full-throttle with his emotions or pushing them down til they're not there at all, the FSM rarely ever hits his extremes, hence why he was faster at mastering his powers as one, as opposed to utilizing Green & Gold separately.

But a lot of how Lloyd was shaped was due to his upbringing and how he's been treated since. After all, the FSM left his parents because things were always going to be this way, and nothing was going to change their minds. Lloyd left because things didn't have to be that way, and there was room for something to change.

The FSM cut himself off from his parents at a very, very young age, and all the people (or creatures or Guardians) he subsequently met were then nothing but nice and helpful to him, making him return that kindness in, well, kind (something that drew Mystake towards him, actually). His first real taste of opposition beyond the First Realm was when the Overlord manifested (and specifically to blot out the FSM's own existence at that, go figure).

Lloyd, meanwhile, is always going to be a little bit jaded when it comes to people even if he wants to see the best in everyone, because everyone he's reached out to in his life or had to lean on for support has wronged him in some way at least once (...except Jesse?! Ahaha?! Oops?!) so he knows that even the people who do truly care about him can still hurt him, and he's always going to be a little bit defensive about it (potential Energy Shield symbolism *jazz hands*).

And yet, part of the reason he's willing to give old enemies the benefit of the doubt at times is because.......well, other people were willing to do the same for Lloyd at his own worst. He is his own proof that people can and are willing to be better, if even just one person is willing to give them a chance to change.

The FSM believed in Balance absolutely, while Lloyd absolutely believes in Balance. And there is a difference.

#fsm felt that there was only ever one way to handle things (similar to wu and garmadon) #lloyd realizes that was never true #ninjago #the first spinjitzu master #lloyd garmadon #legacyverse #the ninja legacy whip #info tag #this veered more from personality into philosophy #but i can't really compare the fsm to lloyd as he is now because lloyd's character is at a point where it's going to change a lot

sometimes i think about the presence squipped rich would've had at school. he's somehow aware of all your deepest insecurities, knows just what to say to tear you apart. he's ruthless and unpredictable. the jake dillinger bends to his will. i just know there were the most batshit insane conspiracy theories going around about him

#bmc #be more chill #rich goranski #squipped rich was so fucked up in every way possible #that one fic where he was just straight-up vile and unpleasant and jake was on his toes around him like a dog or something #i was like. hmm. i don't see jake to be THAT spineless but i do like that dynamic. #idk it's been a while since i read it but jake was so fucking whipped man #this was supposed to be about rich but as always i've derailed into richjake

Has anyone articulated a name for that particular genre of online work that takes easily recognisable pop culture characters and remixes them into something profound and absurd at the same time. Like stuff like Mr Boop, Shag and Scoob, that one comic about Bobby KingoftheHill giving marriage counselling to Bart Simpson and that Family Guy lad. Like it’s definitely fanfic adjacent but it’s also so different. There’s something here but idk someone smarter than me work it out.

#clefairy squeaks #Something about taking pop culture stock characters that are inherently from work where nothing can ever change #Where they can only ever be afforded a limited amount of depth #And pulling them together in a way that is visually absurd and funny until it’s NOT #Like using that Trojan horse of absurdity to pull people in until you crack the irony barrier and whoops people are feeling things now #About Neo and Morpheus holding hands in bed #Urgh that sonic comic that’s like…about messy poor lefty gays lives!!! #I can NEVER refind it when I want it but it whips and belongs here

how the fuck did "ants on a log" become a well-known snack idea to serve to children. absolute unhinged goddamned food combo. you start off with celery. a pungent-ass vegetable more akin to onions or peppers than it is to carrots or cucumbers. and then there's peanut butter, a sweet food with a taste that loves to make itself the center of attention. and then top it all off with raisins for some reason???

you might as well have been like "i'm dipping some shallots in strawberry jam and rolling it in chocolate sprinkles i'm calling it reverse watermelon" like what the fuck. who thought that was okay.

#eliot posts #every time i think about ants on a log i think about that icarly scene where she's dipping a carrot in whipped cream and eating it #but honestly that sounds way better and more sensible by comparison #god. 1950s housewives were on some shit huh #the fucking food crimes #ive ranted about this before probably but sometimes my brain just Haunts Me
